Does ceserver arm64 support tagged pointers?

I can't post URLs, so please google "tagged pointer android" to see what I mean.

While trying to hack a game on Android 15 I found pointers like "0xb4000064c03dc150"

Trying to browse these adresses on the Memory Viewer shows ?? ?? ?? ....

Trying to browse these adresses ignoring the top byte ("0x64c03dc150") on the Memory Viewer shows the correct contents.

It seems other tools are aware of these tagged pointers. For example, I can dump those adresses with Frida or GDB.

Not being aware of tagged pointers makes the pointer scanner or pointermaps impossible to use.

Not related to ceserver(it just passes read/write commands back and forth between CE), but CE 7.6 has the option to "ignore upper byte of pointers" in advanced options , which should make the pointerscan work

and for the rest in CE when working with them call lua command setPointerSize(7)
