There's patch from Corey Minyard that changes the ULONG etc. macros to handle endianess. It's for ppc-on-x86 cross-debug and against an old version of crash, you can get it from the wayback machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20041116221120/http://home.comcast.net/~minyard/crash-3.8-0-cross4.tar.gz Using readmem you need to read long/short values one-by-one anyway unless you have a list of data with the same type. IMHO the ULONG approach is simpler and clearer (makes code more readable). It's some work to have all memory accesses use ULONG etc. but you might have to do the same with the readmem approach.
