Cheat Engine

Hi, I am currently developping an external ram search tool for the Dolphin emulator in the goal of making it easy to use for dolphin's purposes.

Since CE is currently the only good ram search that supports big endian type via custom types extensions (required as the GC and Wii are big endian memory), i use CE to compare my scan result count as first test.

However, I noticed something strange about the handling of signed values in scanning. Basically, CE doesn't seem to care about the sign and automatically assumes I meant unsigned, which I found weird to see no option to have a signed value scan. For example, any scan with type bigger than -1 returns no results, it likely converted -1 to unsigned and nothing is bigger than the max range. Same if I scan for smaller than -1, it returns everything.

My question: am I missing something? Does CE has any support to scan for signed values? If not, why?

Thanks.

Practically no one scans for a decimal range that overlaps negative and positive.

If they do, it's usually the float type, which does support it

Also, I really discourage scanning for the value 0, which is another reason
