So you want to use Cheat Engine but don't want to install it? Maybe you play some MMOs and are afraid some overly-sensitive game launchers might permaban you JUST for having it installed?
That's NO PROBLEM! ^_^
The primary (awesome) developer behind Cheat Engine has created a no-install 'portable' version. Just download, extract it from the archive, and run the EXE file!
1 - Go to the official download page on www.cheatengine.org; please AVOID any 3rd party websites! You can also check their GitHub page, but the GitHub pre-compiled EXE version available for download DOES have the filthy 'InstallCore' crapware. Check out the InstallCore terms/privacy policy before bothering to use it.
2 - Check this image on what link to click to get the portable no-install version.
3 - FOV info is on this article which is an 'infodump' of various modding info over the course of my time in the Zodiac Age modding community.

As of August 2019 (and probably earlier), Cheat Engine without the advertising garbage is a Patreon-exclusive download. I have a backup of an older version (without the crud) that I personally use for modding older single-player-exclusive games that lack any internet/multiplayer features whatsoever.
Currently there is a 'Cheat Engine Lite' with less features and (presumably) 'less warnings' as well. The installer/download for this on the github and website still contain the adware.
If you'd looked at the date this was posted (June 2020) you'd realize the information is outdated. I'll edit the article title to reflect this for the future.
If you require more direct assistance, join up in my Discord server and mention you're from Nexus.
I do plan to start compiling my own builds in the future and will assist others who join my Discord server in how to do things with it :)
