"Invalid DB file" for Madden 24 #4

Hi - is there any plan to update this tool for Madden 24 roster files? Currently, when attempting to open a M24 roster, an error pops up stating the DB file is invalid. I decompressed a M24 roster file with offzip and it looks fairly similar to one from M21 except with no apparent buffer-like data at the start of the file (e.g. "SmithGeno_112" appears at offset 0x11452 for M21 and 0xF for M24). Thank you for all the work you've done for the community!

This is because M24 rosters have CharacterVisuals attached to them. Prior Maddens did not use this system and thus did not have this. If you strip these from the roster, it then loads fine, but you'll note that all players lose their equipment and appearance in game.
