You first have to set 2 places in memory that contains 64 bytes of
certain values, lets call them pif1 and pif2.
they contain the values :

pif1: DW $FF010401
      DW $00000000
      DW $FF010401
      DW $00000000
      DW $FF010401
      DW $00000000
      DW $FF010401
      DW $00000000
      DW $FE000000
      DW $00000000
      DW $00000000
      DW $00000000
      DW $00000000
      DW $00000000
      DW $00000000
      DW $00000001
 
pif2: DW 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0       ;by words we mean 32bits!
      DW 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0       ;I think this is 64 bytes..

You need to initialize this register before starting (your program will
run few a few seconds then die if not done)

          addiu   t0,r0,8
          lui     at,$BFC0
          sw      t0,$07FC(at)    ;CLEAR BUTTONS
          move    #8,$BFC007FC
                    
now when you start your program and begin your main loop the begginning
of the loop should begin with (if you want to read joysticks):

START:     
          lui     t2,$0031        ;t2 =  if org is 80310000 then $0031
                                  ;      if org is 80200000 then $0020

                                  ;I myself am still confused bout
                                  ;how ram is mirrored in the system
