Looking at the ASM-to-Hex reference on the Motorola 68k ASM - including the instruction, and the equivalent in hexadecimal and binary, I was wondering if such a thing existed, or if one could be made for MIPS Assembly.

As some may remember, a while back I tried my hand at hacking Dance Dance Revolution games, which runs on PSX/PS2 hardware [MIPS computer architecture], and realized that if I had something like this, it could help my hack development exponentially.

The 68k reference manual includes the opcodes for each instruction, so I guess it's the same for the MIPS reference manual?

What I mean is to have the direct translation to hex and binary for the MIPS opcodes.


One thing I'd like to try is to modify the listing of songwheel data for DDR Extreme [JP] [the location of said data is already known] to replace one of chunk of data with instructions to continue loading the data from a listing of data appended to the end of the file. This data would include the one that was replaced with the aforementioned instructions, as well as song wheel slot data for songs that were in the arcade DDR Extreme and not the Japanese PS2 version. These songs are ones that appeared in other US / Japanese PS2 versions of DDR of course, making the porting of their song wheel slot data easier, in theory of course.

here has to be some standardizaion in how data is stored/loaded - from the song wheel slot data to the songs, step data, and BG videos, between DDR games just like the beatmania IIDX series has kept a similar data structure throughout the game series [resulting in them still being easily hack-able once it was initially figured out how to do so].

That's what I meant by opcode actually. Check the reference manual, it's probably there. You'll probably need to check each individual instruction, though.

Ah.... derp on my part.
