MIPS32 simulation - severos - Feb 14, 2015
I'm going to start studying assemply language at university, we're going to be using MIPS32 so I'd like to ask couple questions about it: note that I'm running Ubuntu14.04 x64bit
-What IDE is best for use from your experience?
-What's the best simulator? I'd like to try testing code in a safe environment so I don't screw something up as I've done such stuff before 🤫
Also, any tips you can offer me for faster learning??
Thanks for your time.

Very late on this, I am also taking an Assembly course this semester and we use SPIM ( http://spimsimulator.sourceforge.net/ ) and it has worked great. Your professor may want you to check the "bare machine" and un-check the "Load exception handler" settings for at least the first half of the course.

I'd say if your'e using Windows, stick with MARS. SPIM can be a bit confusing / hard to set up, especially as a beginner.

SPIM is missing a couple of instructions but it shouldn't really matter if you're only starting out.
