Example: Playing a sound if the player held Start

//Button presses during Events can be found at the address 0x80045944. Since we can only adjust two bytes of a variable at a time with standard event commands, we'll need two lines to set this address.

LUI(x0070,x8004)
ADD(x0070,x5944)

//Load the current value at the address to Var x00

LoadAddress(x00,x0000,x70,002)

//AND the value of x0800, which is equal to the value of Start. This will clear out any other buttons that might be pressed, since we're only looking for Start.

AND(x0000,x0800)

//At this point, the only two values that Var x00 can have are x0800 or x0000. Run an If check - if it has a value, the player was pressing Start.
