Project Description: This is a tutorial in MIPS assembly language programming, intended for individuals that have not seen assembly language programming before. There is nothing in this course specific to the PS2, however PS2 developers have found the course useful. The emphasis on how computers work. The goal of the course is not to turn you into a MIPS programmer, but to give you an understanding of all computer systems. The only equipment you need for this course is a PC. The only software you need is the SPIM simulator of the MIPS R2000 processor and a text editor. The simulator is available by free download.
