Thanks for the replies. I think Daixiwen was correct -- I'm a beginner and actually i don't really plan on using Quartus anymore after this class so I'm not too sure about the formal naming

The main issue was that there was a bad virtual connection -- The source virtual connection of the issue was named "Address[31..0]" whereas while looking over the virtual connections and maybe zoomed out a little too far, the destination virtual name "Adress[31..0]" seemed just fine at the time. lol.

It was quite frustrating thought that the error seemed much more "critical" since it was pointing to such an obscure file when I would double-click on it.

My lab partners and I received a pretty good grade except what happened was that we had an error in our Dispatch ROMs and our main control unit -- we mistook LUI and ADDI for R-Type instructions.. oops! So we fixed it, turned it in a bit late but was fully functional.

Thanks again.
