The PSP, and twice, as it had an r3k interpreter/loader for PSX games.

Also, you can call me crazy, but I played Nethack under the PSP with the CFW mod setting the clock from 222MHZ to 50MHZ lasting the battery a few hours more...

The GCWZero was a MIPS console too, and pcsx-rearmed had optimisations for that too.

> The GCWZero was a MIPS console too

There have been a couple of GCWZero clones made in more recent years (e.g. from Anbernic) running the same (or a derivative) Linux-based OS with JZ4770 MIPS SoC and software compatibility. Too bad Ingenic never released any successor to the SoC though.
