Cheat tables are XML configuration files used by Cheat Engine. Their file extension is .CT.

A cheat table can contain:

  • A list of addresses, either manually added or pointer-based (which automatically updates when the base address changes).
  • Auto Assembler scripts that can be easily enabled or disabled by clicking the corresponding checkbox in the main window.

Adding Addresses[edit]

There are two ways to add addresses to your cheat table:

  • Automatically – Double-click an address in your scan list.
  • Manually – Fill in the address and type yourself. Use the Add Address Manually button located above your cheat table in Cheat Engine's main window.

Saving and Loading Cheat Tables[edit]

  • Save: Click the Save your current data (Floppy Disk) icon in the top-left toolbar, use the menu File → Save / Save As..., or press Ctrl + S / Ctrl + Alt + S.
  • Load: Click the Open a cheat table (Folder) icon in the top-left toolbar, use the menu File → Load, or press Ctrl + O.
