Extracting Cheat Engine XML from Trainer

by firodj, posted in Programming
  1. TRAINER executable or the entry point file consist of DECOMPRESS and ARCHIVE in its resoruce. See it using ResourceHacker.
  2. The DECOMPRESS will extract the ARCHIVE wich connsist of CET_TRAINER.CETRAINER file,
    The CheatEngine executable, Lua things, and dbghelp.dll.
    Note: DECOMPRESS will have same name with the TRAINER executable, but in CETxxx temp
    folder.
  3. You won’t see the CETRAINER file because it is deleted (by CheatEngine).
    You need to breakpoint CreateFileA/W the DECOMPRESS during extracting, and wait it being filled, OR just before being executed by CheatEngine.
  4. You can retrieve originl XML/.CT file by CEtrainer.decrypter.jar it.

Have fun
