Here is a simple function to convert cheattable files (.ct files) in .net 2.0

If you want syntax highlighting:
http://pastebin.com/f4a685424

Code:
   
 private void convert(string file2convert,string newfilepath,string newprefix)
        {
            //Get the orginal file loaded in a byte array
           byte[] filebytes = File.ReadAllBytes(file2convert);
            //Load up the new prefix in a byte array (must be 11 bytes long)
           byte[] newbytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(newprefix);
           int i = 0;
            //overwrite the first 11 bytes with the new bytes
           while(i != 11)
           {
               filebytes.SetValue(newbytes[i], i);
               i++;
            }
            //Save the converted file     
            File.WriteAllBytes(newfilepath, filebytes);
           
        }


Here is an example of usage:

Code:

string zenosenginect = @"C:\zenos.ct";
string cheatenginect = @"C:\cheatengine.ct";
string prefix = "CHEATENGINE";
convert(zenoenginect,cheatenginect,prefix);


This will make a new file called cheatengine.ct that has all the cheats that are saved the C:\zenos.ct but you can open it in cheatengine 5.3+. The prefix to different engines can be found by opening the .ct files in notepad (but dont try editing them in notepad because it won't work..if you must do it manually use a hex editor).


*NOTE*
I'm not sure if you still can't open other engines cheattables now that cheatengine 5.4 is out so don't flame me if you can.

you can open them in cheat engine 5.4 without need to convert (It just gives a warning that it may be unsafe)
