MIPS
A common reduced instruction set processor architecture widely used in embedded devices and network equipment. Its assembly code is an object of analysis in firmware reverse engineering.

PCSX2 uses dynamic recompilation to translate blocks of PS2 MIPS instructions into the host machine's native machine code on the fly and execute them from cache, one to two orders of magnitude faster than interpreting them one by one.
The asmsense dataset currently supports only the x86-64 architecture and does not yet include other architectures such as ARM64, RISC-V, and MIPS.
In unsigned ARM or MIPS assembly code analysis, large language models can assist in inferring function purposes, identifying the constant features of common encryption algorithms (such as AES, RSA, and SHA), and even guessing data structures, compressing work that would take a senior reverse engineer days into a few hours.
Firmware reverse engineering is the most difficult, because it targets multiple architectures such as ARM, MIPS, and RISC-V, usually has its symbol table stripped, and may also be compressed or encrypted.
PS2 Linux is based on Kondara MNU Linux—a Japanese distribution based on Red Hat and adapted for the MIPS platform.
Game decompilation reverse-engineers compiled machine code (typically MIPS or PowerPC instruction sets) back into equivalent compilable, modifiable C source code, unlike disassembly which only produces assembly text
