Here is the code(s) I came up with.
I ape'd your Wii Bowling button activator. I can see quite a few uses for that in the future.

I noticed a little weirdness with the item address write to EVA 0x800003F0
At the beginning of the second race, There was an unexpected address (mem1) written there.
Will probably have to add a double check to that portion of the code.
But all in all, it does what I was hoping to do.
All ASM, no filler!!!

You can get rid of the mr instruction and change the stw instruction stw r30, 0x03F0 (r11). The Destination Register's value always remains intact during a store instruction.

Cocoto Kart Racer - Weapon/Item Auto-fire

On yet another Wii game, I found a button activator address that when held to 0x0, gives all buttons auto-fire
capabilities.
Searching for the button activator addresses returned 22 results.
In the watch window, one by one, I wrote 0x0 to the addresses and checked to see if pressing the A button gave me auto-fire.
The third address in the list gave me just that.
Rather than using the button write cycle, I wrote a simple C0 code to do the trick.
I used one of the nonauto-fire button activator addresses for the conditionals.
The nonauto-fire button activator address is: 0x801ADA8C
The auto-fire button activator address is: 0x801ADA94
I needed two conditionals. One for when only the fire (A) button is pressed, and the other for when the accelerator (B) button is being pressed also.
#Source
#C0 insert:
lis r11, 0x801A #ASM loads r11 with upper half-word of button activator address(es)
ori r11, r11, 0xD000 #ASM loads r11 lower half-word of button activator address(es)
lhz r12, 0xA8C (r11) #ASM loads r12 with current value at nonauto-fire button address
cmpwi r12, 0x800 #ASM check to see if "A" being pressed
beq+ fire_button_pressed
cmpwi r12, 0xC00 #ASM check to see if "A and B" are being pressed
bnelr- #if not, end C0
fire_button_pressed:
li r5, 0x0 #ASM load r5 with 0x0
sth r5, 0xA94 (r11) #ASM stores 0x0 at auto-fire button activator address
blr #end C0
Works great!!!

RE: Coding Questions and other Quandaries - Vega - 02-21-2022
Hey floating points! Nice work.
Here's a cool trick.
To set an FPR to 0, just substract it by itself. Since your default instruction is in single precision, use that for the subtraction.
fsubs f0, f0, f0
stfs f0, 0x6C00 (r3)
--
Also to set an FPR value to 1, just divide it by itself. Obviously it won't work if the FPR value is zero.

Another opcode to use. Very cool indeed!
I would have never thought of doing that.

(Note)
(Note) Press the (+) button the appropriate number of times listed, for your weapon of choice. To reset this to the top of the list, hold the Z button, while pressing and releasing the (+) button. Pressing the C button forces the weapon of choice to be loaded at certain times.
For a NEW game, at the main screen, choose your weapon by pressing the (+) the appropriate number of times. Press A to choose new game, then immediately press and hold the C button. If you want to watch the opening cut-scene, just keep holding C until Leon appears on the screen. If not, while still holding C, press B a couple times to skip the cut-scene. When Leon appears on the screen, you can release the C button.
For a SAVED game, scroll to the game save you want to open. Choose your weapon by pressing the (+) the appropriate number of times. Press and hold the C button. Select yes to load saved game and hit A. Release the C button when Leon appears on the screen.
Also, you can hold C when saving your game so the next time you load it, you will already have your desired weapon.
This works with the Mercenaries and Ada games also.
Caution!!! Going through some gates and cut-scenes (Hannigan), may cause you to lose your default weapon, as will going into the items screen and equipping a different weapon you have. You can use usable items freely without effecting your weapon. If you lose your weapon, you can either, restart from the last checkpoint, or go to one of the gates (not the ones you can simply walk through or kick open). This is a great time to change weapons if you want. In the case of gates in between different areas of the game, when press A is displayed, make sure you have the weapon you want selected, press and hold C then press A to enter the new area. Release C when Leon appears on the screen. It works the same way with loading from a checkpoint. Just make sure you press and hold C when selecting Yes and hold until Leon appears. Do the same at the beginning of cut-scenes (Hannigan etc.) , or going through area change gates/doors, to retain your chosen weapon
