CW exes are regular PS-exes. That's why they fail to load from the OPSM menu.

I tried loading CW exe's in all the emulators and hardware but I don't think they're regular "PS-X EXE" format.. they didn't load for me... I think it's a custom format which CW works with.

Looks like the official siocons has support for loading native PSX EXE files but I can't get it to work

ooh I found a cwpatch and it works! 🙂

I will add this to the NY patched PCSXR, probably tomorrow... and then migrate the patches to make a good yarexe program that works! lol
