Source:
At address 800455B0, is a basic function call of loading the rotation long/lat from one spot of memory to another. The "write" spot is modifiable (takes effect in game). So by simply Nopping this small function call, the new rotatino values never make it to the "write" spot. Thus, freezing all rotation. Fyi, we cannot 'blr' said function call because it's shared with other operations.

Final comment, this address-4, is best hook for C2 ASM. When doing a pause on Dolphin, making edits to rotation, setting Write BP on edits, then resuming Dolphin. This is the earliest break. Also, it appears to be the only hook handling rotation updates to the 'write spot'.
