I typically use Cheat Engine with a program in which all of the memory is in Big Endian format. But since Cheat Engine only supports Little Endian pointers, I can't use its default pointer stuff. I currently have to make my own Lua functions just to work with the pointers, which is very annoying to have to do.

So I'm wondering if it would be possible to edit this to work with Big Endian values. Whether this would be in the form of an extension or whatever, I don't care.

Is this doable?

hmm, perhaps hook readProcessMemory and byteswap all 4 byte blocks. Though i guess it will cause issues for unalligned and 2byte values
