How to load memory address without using pseudo-instructions?

Question

I\'m trying to learn MIPS assembly language by myself using MARS simulator.

For didactic reasons I\'m limiting myself to not using pseudo-instructio

Answer 1

To answer the modified question "is this doable using specifically MARS, without pseudo-instructions?": From a quick scan of the MARS documentation, it appears not. MARS appears to be intentionally restricted for pedagogical purposes.

If you want to try this on a full MIPS simulator that will simulate the Linux OS running on MIPS and run code built with the gnu toolchain, take a look at the OVP Simulator. This is free and runs on Linux and Windows, but it's probably a lot more than you need.
