Format:
BLTZ rs, offset
Description:
A branch target address is computed from the sum of the address of the
instruction in the delay slot and the 16-bit offset, shifted left two bits and
sign-extended. If the contents of general register rs have the sign bit set,
then the program branches to the target address, with a delay of one
instruction. If the conditional branch is not taken, the instruction in the
branch delay slot is nullified.
