siocons already supports s-record format, psx-exe, and a.out MIPS-ECOFF. So
if you know what the codewarrior format is and you know what the string is
to send to the yaroze monitor to make it receive that format, why not just
hack the siocons source?

But if I remember in the dim and distant past when I actually used to use
codewarrior (no, really!), siocons used to load my codewarrior programs,
although they never returned to the prompt; are you sure you need to do
anything apart from sort this bug out??


You can get the siocons source (which includes info on the psx-exe format)
from the scee site.
