  note you should probably just use Tim's code https://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5734555&sid=cb7c5b0af732c46cb766f12d627975dd
  But if you really want to continue using this, I updated it for 7.4


  provides two functions tableFileIterator and tableFileIteratorReverse which
  return iterators for CE's table files, only works for versions with offsets
  listed in table below because it works by reading memory directly.
  Probably best not to store the iterators since the table files could change before use...

  If getCheatEngineFileVersion function does not exist, it also provides that

-- https://youtu.be/s87WtAw636M updating offsets for different versions
-- (first 5 minutes, rest is a quick attempt to show why it works)
--
-- text explanation
-- to find offsets start 2 instances of CE, in the first add some tablefiles in the second scan for the number of table files there are
-- find what accesses the address, you'll find an instruction with either 0x10 (x64) or 0x8, take the register value (probably in *bx)
-- and scan for it, you should only have a few results, check each to see which is accessed when you click the Tables menu
-- once you've found the one that's actually used, that's the offset from the MainForm
-- the key in the table below is the integer (first) result of getCheatEngineFileVersion()
