Easy way to joker a subroutine tutorial by TheEliteOne
Here is a subroutine that I will be using:
wanted to joker it? We can joker the hook of the subroutine. Follow this template:
How does the joker work?
Controller Address: 0x08DD3068 (Real addressing)
Button Value: 0x80 (Left button)
Line 1 - Lui t0, $First half of controller address +0880
Loads the first half of the controller address into the upper half of the register t0
Lui t0, $08DD
t0 = 0x08DD0000
Line 2 - Lh t0, $Second half of controlller addresss(t0)
Loads a half word (16 bits or 0x0000) value from the address. The address is {(t0)XXXX}
Lw t0, $3068(t0)
t0 = lower 16Bits of value at address 0x08DD3068
Line 3 - Addi t1, zero, $Button value to activate
Adds the contents of the register zero (0x00000000) to an immediate value that we give (Are button value) then puts the result into another
register, in this case that register is t1
Addi t1, zero, $80
t1 = 0x00000000 + 0x00000080
t1 = 0x00000080
Line 4 - Bne t1, t0, $Branch to the jr ra
Checks the contents of the registers t1 and t0, if they are not equal go to the jr ra, if they are continue on
Beq t1, t0, $08801200
if (t1 == t0) {Go to address 0x00001200} else {Continue on}
Line 5 - Nop
This is the delay slot of the branch. If the branch does branch to the target address this line will be executed.
Line 6 - J $Start of subroutine (Not hook)
Jumps to the start of are subroutine, this will act as a hook for us.
Line 7 - Nop
This is the delay slot of the jump. If the jump is used then this line will be executed.
Line 8 - Jr ra
Jumps to the address contained in the register ra.
Line 9 - Nop
This is the delay slot of the jump register. If the jump register is used then this will will be executed.
Working example:
Was that so hard? 
Here is a subroutine that I will be using:
This is for Medal of Honor Heroes 2, ULUS-10310. This code is not a joker or anything, it will automatically activate when turned on. So what if we
wanted to joker it? We can joker the hook of the subroutine. Follow this template:
In this case I would have the J be this:
Now we will not call are subroutine unless we are pressing the button. We will need a hook to jump to the joker that we just created though.
