Magnificent! I am building a very similar HIP (Hypothetical Processor, reduced MIPS, created at my university for educational purposes) processor emulator with similar functionality. Still a long way to go, but I can definitely get inspired, since I imagined the very exact functions as here.

Does this support the thumb (2) instruction set as well, or only ARM mode? We are primarily using ARM on Cortex M-devices that only run in thumb mode, but something like this tool would be very valuable for learning!

ARM mode only I'm afraid. It was designed specifically for a course teaching ARM instructions.

I'm working on a similar web-based emulator for the version of MIPS my school uses (UWaterloo, CS 241). We have to build parts of a compiler for the course and I was sick of hand-simulating my compiler's output to look for bugs. https://github.com/zodiac/yamd http://readdit.xuanji.li:8000/
