I've started ASM hacking recently. Someone requested that I posted over here at ZSR as well.
I have another thread over at https://www.the-gcn.com/topic/2567-cloudmaxs-oot-ntsc-10-stuff/?p=41071
My OoT Hacking Website (this location will ALWAYS be up to date, if it is something relevant): http://cloudmodding.com/oot/
Everything is done in NTSC 1.0

Make Slingshot & Bow (+magical arrows) usable by Adult & Child Link
Code:
#FIX SLING & BOW FUNCTIONALITY FOR ADULT & CHILD
#This is the first ASM Hack I wrote.
#0x8038AD88 is the address of the instruction that sets T6 to adult/child
#If you're adult (T6==0), the game uses the bow, if you're child (T6==1), the game uses slingshot
#So we create a function to set T6 to 0 when you're using bow, and 1 when you're using slingshot, instead of using the age.
#This ASM Hack will fix the Projectile Model, Ammunition Usage, and Magical Arrows, all in one go.
#
#I write the ASM Hack to 0x80600000, so you must have 8mb RAM enabled or move it to another location.
#
#0x801DAB73 stores what item button you last pressed with a value of 0 to 3 (B, C-Left, C-Down, C-Right)
#
#T0 = Save RAM offset
#We can use: T4, T6

.ORG 0x8038AD84
J code                        #This'll overwrite the T6 = Age instruction
.ORG 0x80600000
code:
LUI T4, 0x801E                #T4 = Used Button Index Offset (upper bits)
LW T4, 0xAB73(T4)             #T4 = Used Button Index
ADDIU T4, T4, 0x0068          #T4 = Used Button Item Index Offset relative to Save RAM
ADDU T4, T0, T4               #T4 = Used Button Item Index Offset
LB T4, 0x0000(T4)             #T4 = Used Item Index
ADDIU T6, R0, 0x0006          #T6 = 0x6 (Slingshot)
BEQL T4, T6, end              #If (Used Item Index == Slingshot) Execute Delay Slot & Branch to End
ADDIU T6, R0, 0x0001          #T6 = 1 (Sling)
ADDIU T6, R0, 0x0000          #T6 = 0 (Bow)
end:
J 0x8038AD8C                  #Jump back to the address after the initial Jumps delay slot
NOP

And here's a hack I wrote to go along with it (and also fix several "issues" with the inventory)
Code:
#Inventory Slot to Item Usability
#This ASM Hack will change the Inventory ASM to read from the Item Usability Table instead of the Slot Usability Table.
#Normally the inventory uses the Item Usability Table when setting item icon color, and Item Slot Usability Table for equipping, item name color, ammunition color and enlarging icons when they're selected. As a result, if you were to have an item that you can equip, in a slot that you can't use, you wouldn't be able to use the item.
#It also makes it possible to equip slingshot, bow & magical arrows as child & adult (to go with my other code)
#
#I write the ASM Hack to 0x80600100, so you must have 8mb RAM enabled or move it to another location.
#
#The ASM is injected after the Inventory has been loaded into to the RAM
#
#Overwrite:
#0x8009A074 LUI A0, 0x8010
#0x8009A078 LW A0, 0xE4BC(A0)
#
#We can use: A0, A1, A3, T0, T9

This one far from done, and do not expect it to be perfectly stable, the location I inject the code at holds other functions while in menues, so there may very well be crashes in menues and such, I haven't experienced any crashes related to the ASM Hack yet though. The ideal way would be to make the hook (or the entire code) into a ROM patch instead.
There is a new version with lots of improvements, and various new options, but it's not ready to be released yet.
Code:
#CloudMax's Custom Action Engine Alpha v1.0
#You do not have to touch anything above the functions section.
#I've prepared 2 example actions:
#1 for Iron & Hover Boots (Action ID 43 & 44)
#This function will equip the specified boots, unless you already have them equipped, if that's the case, you will unequip them. It costs 2 magic to use.
#1 for Quiver, Bullet Bag & Bomb Bag (Action ID 45 to 4D)
#This function will turn the items into portable bags with ammo for the 3 different items that when used will give you the amount that specific quiver/bag can carry. It will cost 5 rupees to use.
#
#A basic Action would look something like this:
#customaction1:  
#   #Setup Start (Setup is optional, if item doesn't have any requirements, just skip it)
#   ADDIU T1, R0, 0x0001       #Magic Required: 0x1 (You need at least 1 magic to use the item)
#   ADDIU T2, R0, 0x0001       #Magic Cost: 0x1 (Using the item will cost you 1 magic)
#   ADDIU T3, R0, 0x0001       #Ammo Cost: 0x1 (I've not yet implemented this, since actions aren't actually linked to items)
#   ADDIU T4, R0, 0x0001       #Health Required: 0x1 (You need at least 1 health to use the item)
#   ADDIU T5, R0, 0x0001       #Rupee Cost: 0x1 (It'll cost you 1 rupee to use the item)

The ASM Hack above will only create custom actions, we still need to set items to use these specified actions.
Which Action each item will use is located at 0x803AA6FC in the RAM. So if you want to set Iron Boots to use Action 0x43 you'd write 0x43 over address 0x803AA6FC + 0x44 (iron boots ID)
For the sake of the example actions I provided, here's a code with all the proper actions set:
Code:
CheatName8=Set Item Action IDs
CheatName8Count=11
CheatName8Code0=803AA741 0043
CheatName8Code1=803AA742 0044
CheatName8Code2=803AA743 0045
CheatName8Code3=803AA744 0046
CheatName8Code4=803AA745 0047
CheatName8Code5=803AA746 0048
CheatName8Code6=803AA747 0049
CheatName8Code7=803AA748 004A
CheatName8Code8=803AA749 004B
CheatName8Code9=803AA74A 004C
CheatName8Code10=803AA74B 004D
And here's the item IDs so that you can test them out:
Code:
Iron Boots		45
Hover Boots 46
Bullet Bag (Holds 30) 47
Bullet Bag (Holds 40) 48
Bullet Bag (Holds 50) 49
Quiver (Holds 30) 4A
Quiver (Holds 40) 4B
Quiver (Holds 50) 4C
Bomb Bag (Holds 20) 4D
Bomb Bag (Holds 30) 4E
Bomb Bag (Holds 40) 4F

RAM Notes:
Code:
ASM:
     0x80071A28 ADDIU V0, R0, 0x001  #Egg Hatch Start Button Index. Set it to 0 in order to make eggs on B hatchable
     0x80079B1C BNEZ T0, 0x80079B2C  #Used to determine if get access to silver & gold gauntlet strength. T0 = Age

     While NOT Pausing:
          0x80395B00 BEQL T6, R0, 0x80395D68  #Used to determine if you can enter a crawlspace. T6 = Age

Data:
     0x801DAB72 (Byte)     #Item in Hand (Item ID)
     0x801DB263 (Byte)     #Is Attacking (Setting this to 1 will activate ISG)
     0x8011B9B2 (Byte)     #Temp B (Stores your B item when on a horse, fishing, shooting gallery, etc.)
     0x803A54F0 (Byte)     #Pause Temp B (Temp B is moved here while pausing)
     0x801DAB70 (Byte)     #Last Pressed Item Button (0-3 from B to C-Right)
     0x8011B500 (Word)     #Sword Flag (1 = Don't have a sword equipped, changes how the game handles B Button)
     0x801DAB7F (Byte)     #Currently Equipped Mask (goes from 0 to 8)

Functions:
     0x800721F4 Modify Item Amount
          A0 = Item ID
          A1 = Amount to add

     0x80079200 Update Physics
          This function runs whenever links physics is altered, when changing boots, entering water, exiting water, etc.
          A1 = 0x801DAA30

     0x800646F0 Play Sound Effect
          The actual function for calling sound effects seem to be located at 0x800C806C but calling it from the address above has proven to be safer for me.
          A0 = Sound Effect
               0x482F Gain Rupee Repeater (This is the sound that repeats while gaining or losing rupees)
               0x4803 Gain Rupee (The main sound that plays when gaining a rupee)
               0x4806 Disabled Item
               0x4807 Success (Played the correct song at a location, etc.)
               0x4808 Change Menu Screen
               0x4809 Move Menu Cursor
               0x480A Emulator Crash
               0x480C Enter Z-Target
               0x4824 Pick Up Ammo / Magic
               0x0835 Pull out Item

     0x800721CC Rupee Modifier
          The amount of rupees to increase/decrease, it'll be added to the current amount of rupees you're currently getting/loosing
          A0 = Amount

     0x8006FB50 Update Item Icon
          This will update the item icon of the specified item button. (useful when changing a button Item ID directly)
          A0 = 0x801C84A0
          A1 = Button ID (from 0 to 3)
    
     0x8006FDCC Receive Item
          The game will give you the item specified, and place it in it's correct slot. This will not update items that are equipped.
          A0 = 0x801C84A0
          A1 = Item ID

     0x80071B7C Set Item (Using Button Index)
          This will change an item using a button index as the argument.
          A0 = 0x801C84A0
          A1 = Item ID
          A2 = Button Index (B-Button, C-Left, C-Down, C-Right from 0 to 3)

Glitch Patches:
Code:
ISG (Regular method):
Set RAM 0x80079718 to 0xA0800833 (Can be injected at all time)
This will overwrite a NOP used in a function that is called in numerous situations (changing item, unpausing, putting away ocarina, dialogs, etc.) to unset the Is Attacking flag.

Being able to open chests under water after using hookshot to land at bottom of water:
Set RAM 0x803A73B0 to 0x2401FFFF (Do not inject while in the file select, this address is used by other functions at that time)
This will make it so that using hookshot/longshot doesn't remove the flag that prevents you from opening chests under water.
There may very well be a reason as to why they remove the flag when using hookshot/longshot in the first palce, so I do not know if there's any side-effects of this.

Bottle Dupe & Ocarina Items (Jump Methods):
Set RAM 0x8038CA88 to 0xA0E0069D (Do not inject while in a menu, this address is used by other functions at that time)
The reason why Bottle Dupe & Ocarina Item work is because there's a flag telling you to use an action when you land.
This flag is not cleared when using other items afterwards while still in the air.
If you use another item while in the air and land, the game will still want to perform an action, and the result is the ocarina action.
If you press on an item that can't be used, the game will simply change the index of the last used button, and as a result you'll empty the bottle over that button index instead when landing.
The code I provided will remove the flag mentioned earlier whenever you use an item in midair and it runs the main item action function.

Golden Scale Early:
Set RAM 0x80022BE8 to 0x3C010038
The glitch works because of collection delay. When you climb up on a ledge from water with Z-Targeting, there's a flag that i temporarily set while climbing.
However, if you exit water on a shore (a perfect transition from water to ground) while Z-Targeting, this flag is not unset after exiting water.
This is one of the flags that aren't allowed to be set while collecting an item, causing the game to delay the collection.
Now, the programmers of the game really messed up and made it so that when you delay the reward in the fishing pond, the game always store Golden Scale, and not the item you're actually supposed to get.
So I simply fixed Golden Scale early by making it so that the flag in question doesn't cause collection delay, you're allowed to pick up items even when it is set.

I've also tried to fix the Pause and Shield Swipe method of Bottle Dupe, but haven't succeeded yet.

A lot of these (if not all) can be converted to rom fairly trivially by searching for the asm in the decompressed v1.0. A lot of your stuff is within the code file, starting at 800110A0 ram -> A87000 rom, and is 103D30 bytes long.

Thanks for the heads up.
I figured that what you said may be the case for the early RAM that doesn't change at any time, but I didn't find anything as I looked into the compressed rom.
I never thought of looking in the decompressed 1.0 for some reason.

Patching groundjump & superslide right now. This time around I couldn't manage to make a simple 1 line fix though. I'm going to inject a piece of code that'll check for two specific flags and force link to unshield when picking up an object. The effect will be like in oot3d, you just pick up the item and shield drop it directly after.
I am sure there is a simpler way to fix this (may even be a one line code), but I can't find the location that causes the pick up to be different when standing still & rolling.


Also, here's some stuff about fishes. I looked into it because you didn't know how it was stored in the save files.
0x8011B490 (word): This is the location in the RAM where they store data related to fishing.
The size of the biggest fish you've turned in is stored as a 32bit fixed point (rounded down), with a maximum value of 0x7F (127), 7 bits. This is stored in the last byte of the word.
A fish with the size of 0x7F fills the entire fish bowl.
I didn't look much into the first 3 bytes of the word, but I did notice one of them changing when I got the golden scale, may be used as flags in the fishing pond for rewards & unlocking sinking lure?
0x801F2950 (word): This is where the game stores the size of the fish you are currently holding, it is a floating point stored as a word. It is converted to a 32bit fixed point (rounded down) when you turn it in.

Some notes about scene item group & song restriction
RAM address 0x801D8BF3 to 0x801D8BFD is used as flags to disable item groups and songs in different scenes.
Item group restriction uses 0x1 to set the flags
Song restriction uses 0x3 to set the flags
0x801D8BF3 disables the B Button when set (The game uses the B button itself instead of restricting swords)
0x801D8BF4 Unused?
0x801D8BF5 Bottles
0x801D8BF6 Trade Items
0x801D8BF7 disables Hookshot & Longshot when set (The global flag has priority over this one)
0x801D8BF8 Ocarina
0x801D8BF9 Warp Songs (A dialog appears telling you that you can't warp away)
0x801D8BFA Sun's Song (Nothing happens when you play the song)
0x801D8BFB Farore's Wind (The global flag has priority over this one)
0x801D8BFC Din's Fire & Nayru's Love (The global flag has priority over this one)
0x801D8BFD Global (This is used to disable all remaining items)

These flags are set when entering a scene. The game uses a item restriction scene table located at 0x800F7350 in the RAM. (the table is ordered the same way the level select is)
Each scene is 1 word long.
Table Format:
IDXXYYZZ
ID = Scene ID
XX = Restriction Flags
     0x01, 0x02, 0x03 Bottles
     0x04, 0x08, 0x0C Unused?
     0x10, 0x20, 0x30 B Button
     0x40, 0x80, 0xC0 Unused?
YY = Restriction Flags
     0x01, 0x02, 0x03 Warp Songs
     0x04, 0x08, 0x0C Ocarina
     0x10, 0x20, 0x30 Hookshot & Longshot
     0x40, 0x80, 0xC0 Trade Items
ZZ = Restriction Flags
     0x01, 0x02, 0x03 Global
     0x04, 0x08, 0x0C Din's Fire & Nayru's Love
     0x10, 0x20, 0x30 Farore's Wind
     0x40, 0x80, 0xC0 Sun's Song

You may notice a pattern in the format that's being used. This is because you can choose to set the specified flag to a value from 0 to 3.
Song Flags seem to always use value 3, while item restrictions always seem to use value 1.
Item restricted appears to work when set to any number.
Song restriction appears to only work when set to 3.

Setting it to ID1157D5 will disable everything.

What is "this"?
If you're referring to my latest post, it can be used in mods to change the items allowed in different scenes, which can be quite useful. (unless you want to be limited to the same restrictions as the scene you're replacing)

Skulltula Token Flags:
Located at 0x8011B46C in RAM (0xE9C in a save file) and are grouped into bytes based on Dungeon/World Map location.
This is the order they're displayed in:
Deku Tree
Dodongo's Cavern
Jabu Jabu's Belly
Forest Temple

Fire Temple
Water Temple
Spirit Temple
Shadow Temple

Well or Ice Cavern
Well or Ice Cavern
Hyrule Field
Lon Lon Ranch

Kokiri Forest
Lost Woods
Market
Death Mountain

Kakariko Village
Zora's Domain
Lake Hylia
Gerudo Valley

Gerudo Fortress
Haunted Wasteland
Unused
Unused

This data is affected by endianness, so you have to reverse the order within each group.
So the 1st byte is for Forest Temple, the 5th for Shadow Temple, etc.

0x8039F194 is the RAM address for the Golden Skulltula Requirement Table.
This table uses the order mentioned above, but is NOT reversed within each group.
So the first byte which is 0x0F (4 bitflags) is used for Deku Tree, and the 5th is for Fire Temple, etc.
When the byte in the Save Data is equal to the one in the Table, the skulltula token will appear on the Pause Screen Map.

Maximum Skulltula amount is hardcoded, the instruction at RAM address 0x8038AD8C is used to decide Maximum Skulltula Amount (or rather this is the number that turns the text red)
Having a value higher than 999 will cause it to be displayed incorrectly.
This is because the code isn't made to display a 4th letter. 0x39 is letter "9", 0x3A is letter ":", so it'll display as :00 when you have 1000 skulltulas.

Hey CloudMax, good stuff you have right here. Really interesting for me as a software developer to look under the hood of the game.
But do you have a basic pointer table from different values? Or a resource to look up? Like movement values, health, bombs, chus, arrows, rupees, skulltullas and stuff. I know how to obtain them by myself, but maybe you made one in the past.

Thanks!

Not really. I once made a table for almost the entire save file, but that one is for OoT3D, so it isn't accurate to the N64 version (but it is very similar)
http://cloudmodding.com/oot3d/

Here's a pastebin of all my Memory Bookmarks in Nemu64 (I cleaned it up a bit):
http://pastebin.com/aMRMywjQ
It contains quite a bit of useful information. I have a few other values in MHS as well, but I'm to lazy to look up which ones aren't already in my bookmarks.

I am currently looking into dialog box text, changing the color of different text types.

I just noticed that I had forgot to post one of the most interesting things I've found so far. The Menu State Byte, located at 0x801D8DD5
This byte allows you to open up various menu screens by setting it to different values.
Some states are used in combination with the Selected Menu Option flag located at 0x801D8E60
I've ordered them by their uses, and not value.
Code:
Open Pause Menu:
0x01 Open Pause Menu (Only run when a menu isn't open) The menu won't finish opening unless you apply the 0x06 state manually
0x02 Open Pause Menu (Only run when a menu is open) The menu won't finish opening unless you apply the 0x06 state manually
0x01 to 0x05 is used for the Opening process of the Pause Menu
0x06 Finish Opening Pause Menu (Only run when a menu is open) This is the state applied when in the menu, stops the menu opening state

Pause Menu Save Panel:
0x07 Open Pause Menu Save Panel (Only run when pause menu is open) The game will crash if the pause menu isn't open, as this screen is a part of the pause menu

Close Pause Menu:
0x12 Close Menu (Only run when pause menu is open) This will close the Pause Menu. If the menu isn't available, the game will crash.
0x13 is used for the Closing process of the Pause Menu, after the menu has been closed. The game will crash if this is set when a menu is still open.

Open Game Over Panel:
0x08 Open Game Over Panel (Only run when a menu isn't open) This will spawn the menu and open the Game Over Panel, preventing a crash
0x09 Open Game Over Panel (Only run when a menu is open) This will open the Game Over Panel, causing a crash if the menu isn't already available
0x08 to 0x0D is used for the Opening process of the Game Over Panel
0x0E Finish Opening GO Panel (Only run when Game Over Panel is open) This will instantly open up the Game Over Save Panel, causing a crash if the menu isn't already available.

Game Over Panel:
0x0F Saved (Only run when a menu is open) Applied after saving in game over panel, brings up "Game Saved." screen. Will crash if a menu isn't available.
0x10 Open Continue / Quit Panel (Only run when a menu is open) This will open the Continue / Quit Panel, but doesn't load the menu, causing a crash if it isn't open.
0x11 Run Continue / Quit (Does not require a menu) Uses Selected Menu Option Flag. 0x0 = Continue, 0x4 = Quit. Same effect as when normally applied.

You may notice a pattern in the opening sequences. The first value will initialize it, loading the menu. So if a menu is already loaded, you can just use the second value.

CloudMax's Text Color Engine v2 (GameShark)
This will allow you to have up to 0xA3 (163) text colors.
This engine will overwrite the entire Text Color Function used by the game, which is why the limit is 0xA1, that's all the space I had to work with.
Preview: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6440063/OoT/ASM/custom%20colors.png (screenshot is from a test build, which is why the text color table is located elsewhere in RAM)

Text Color Table RAM Address: 0x800D6BD0 - 0x800D6E5C
Table Entry Format:
RRGGBBAA

To use a color you use the regular 05 XX command with XX being the ID of the text color table entry, ranging from 0x00 to 0xA2.
The default text colors (0x40 to 0x47) has been added to the table so that the engine can be implemented smoothly.

CloudMax's Text Color Engine v3 (ROM Patch)
This patch is for the decompressed NTSC 1.0 ROM
The ROM Patch is superior to the RAM Hack as it contains a total of 0x92 (146) preset colors. The 8 default ones from OoT, and the rest from the X11 Color Table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#X11_color_names
Here's the Color Table with IDs included: http://pastebin.com/br9i2BXu

To use a color you use the regular 05 XX command with XX being the ID of the text color table entry, ranging from 0x00 to 0xA2.

Yeah, I kinda figured that it was off by a byte or two. Thanks for correcting me, I never got around to checking the actual address myself.

I planned to port over some of my RAM hacks to ROM hacks, but in the process I noticed how horribly bad the code was for my earliest hacks. It was far from optimal. So I'll re-write them, reducing the amount of code, before porting it over.

Edit: Just released a new RAM hack, "The 4th Wallet"
This Hack will add an additional wallet to the game.
You receive the wallet by getting a second Giant's Wallet in the game.
By default the wallet will fit 999 rupees, you can change this by modifying the last line in the code.
You can get the code from here: http://cloudmodding.com/oot/
It's available in Nemu64 and clean format. I've added a feature to the website so that you can choose Code ID for nemu64 cheats, so you don't have to change it manually.
I should also mention that this hack, just like my text color hack was created by modifying the existing functions in the game, without jumping to unused RAM. So you won't have to worry about that.
I'll most likely create a ROM patch for the hack tomorrow morning.

Edit2: The ROM Patch is out.
