well i looked at other people's templates and other people joker codes.
and put their values into ps2dis and looked to see what commands they used for what parts of their codes.
then just did trail and error sort of thing with my own codes until i knew what to do with the commands.
im still trying to learn new commands like the more then one line jokers like you said about. (im still trying...some really good codes are really confusing to work out)
i look at a code and put in what i know what it is. (like a jr ra or a hook) along with the commands they used.
example me trying to work out increase jokers like custom jump

then you could use the same sort of thing for different games
this is my way of teaching myself new ways and i think its a good way too
------------------
template:
lui t9, $(pointer part 1 + 1 if second have is above 8800)
lw t2, $(pointer part 2)
lui t8, $(controller part 1)
lh t8, $(controller part 2)
li t7, $(button value)
bne t8 t7, $(Real address of JR RA)
nop
wcl $f15, $[offset](t2)
lui t3, $3dcc
mtcl t3, $f16
add.s $f15 $f15 $f16
swcl $f15 $[offset](t2)
jr ra
I used this to make custom jump for mohh1
