Note on supported instructions

DrMIPS simulates and displays the datapath of the processor graphically. Therefore, the simulator only supports the instructions that the datapath itself supports. Since this is mostly an educational simulator, the provided datapaths are very simple, and thus support a rather limited set of instructions. Several instructions like jal, jr, syscalls, floating-point operations and shifts are not supported.
