How to write a two code subroutine.

How to Write a two Code Subroutine.
===================================
What you Need to know:

-Basic understanding of Mips

-UnderStanding of registers

-How to find a Hook

-How to find a hook value

-Negative rule


~~The Mips you need to know~~
__________________________

lui - load upper immediate
lw - Load Word
ori- Bitwise or immediate
addiu-Add immediate unsigned
sw- Store word
Jr ra- Jump Register Return address


~~Registers~~
______________

Basically a Register Holds something. ie.

lui t0 $1234
lw t0 $5678(t0)

Thos would load the current value at address 0x12345678 into t0

t0-t9 Temporary Registers

~~How to find a hook~~
_____________________


To find a hook:

-- You First Search 03e00008 in exact value

-- You can either Let it Search for about 4-6 min Or when it hits 1%, just stop it.

-- Now that You've got your searches Add them to your database.

-- You can either change the hex to 03e00007 or nop it (00000000).

-- What ever ones freeze can be used as a hook.


--For the hook value, Put the first part of your routine in Real using the following command. J $first address of routine in Real.



~~Negative rule~~
__________________

The Negative Rule:

If the Last 16 bits of your address is over 7FFF then You have to add 0x0001 to the address in real. i.e- 0x1234[8000] is over 7FFF so u add 0x0001 [12358000 in fake].





Now lets get started with our Routine.



The template We will be using

Code:


-Hook
lui t0 $First half of Address
lui t1 $first half of value
addiu t1 t1 $Second half of value
sw t1 $Second half of Address(t0)
lui t2 $First half of code 2
lui t3 $First half of value
addiu t3 t3 $Second half of value
sw t3 $Last half of Address
Jr Ra


Our code Were gonna use :

#This code does Nothing
0x00023454 0x00000001
0x00023458 0x00000002

First: Put the codes in Real addressing

0x00023454 +08800000
0x00023458 +08800000
_____________________
0x08823454 0x00000001
0x08823458 0x00000002


Second:
Put the codes in the template.


-Hook
lui t0 $0882
lui t1 $0000
addiu t1 t1 $0001
sw t1 $3454(t0)
lui t2 $0882
lui t3 $0000
addiu t3 t3 $0002
sw t3 $3458(t2)
Jr Ra

Now We use ps2dis to Plugin the commands and get our Values.

Load Ps2dis from 08800000


Press control F select as hex string and hold zero for 45 seconds. Now we found our Area of Nops we will be working in.


Since we have our area of Nops its time to Start Plugging in the Commands. Im using area 08803000

hook=0x00000098 0x0a200c00

Lui t0 $0882= 0x08803000 0x3c080882

lui t1 $0000= 0x08803004 0x3c090000

addiu t1 t1 $0001= 0x08803008 0x25290001

sw t1 $3454(t0)= 0x0880300C 0xad093454

lui t2 $0882= 0x08803010 0x3c0a0882

lui t3 $0000= 0x08803014 0x3c0b0000

addiu t3 t3 $0002 = 0x08803018 0x256b0002

sw t3 $3458(t2) = 0x08800301c 0xad4b3458

jr ra = 0x08803020 0x03e00008

0x00000098 0x0a200c00
0x08803000 0x3c080882
0x08803004 0x3c090000
0x08803008 0x25290001
0x0880300C 0xad093454
0x08803010 0x3c0a0882
0x08803014 0x3c0b0000
0x08803018 0x256b0002
0x0880301c 0xad4b3458
0x08803020 0x03e00008


;Now we have to Subtract 0880 from each address.


Done!
