- Added a partial parser for "gameconfig".
- New attempt at fixing 002 on games patched with "IOS Version patcher".

R8 beta 3:
- Fixed Ocarina
- Experimental fix for error 002 which should work for games patched with "IOS Version".
- Warning if the hooks aren't patched.

R8 beta 2:
- The rebooter should work with preloader.
- Should fix the fact that Ocarina wasn't working at all anymore.
- "Dirty" compatibility with Brawl+ (a mod of SSBB).

R8 beta 1:
- alternative.dol compatiblity could be totally changed or buggy (will work with cIOSrev14 only anyways)
- Ocarina
- Wiird
- Rebooter

R7:
- Increased timeout to 30 seconds

- Moved game selection to main menu
- Added option to load alternative.dol from sd card
- Applying main.dol patches only to main.dol now
- Added hooktype "none"
- Moved all file access on sd card to the folder "NeoGamma", loading Ocarina works from both NeoGamma/codes and codes.
- Added Anti 002 fix. This reverts the 002 main.dol patch. NOT TESTED! This also might do something else too.


Gamma - > NeoGamma R3:
- Ported to the new libogc
- Warning before memory card in slot 2 is accessed as usb gecko
- Auto Force Language option added, it forces english for games with region 'E'(NTSC-U) and japanese for games with region 'J'
- Moved memory stuff before the apploader. Now Red Steel and SSX should be working. (they still (try to) load their IOS themselves)
- Writes the Game ID Address(0x80000000) now into the memory at 0x80003184. Now Sam & Max and FarCry should be working. (they still (try to) load their IOS themselves)
- Save configuration to sd card
- Added Country String Patching (mostly helpful for japanese users with US and PAL games)
- Load Ocarina from SDHC and USB(when encountering problems, try the different strange options, using IOS61 is only compatible if NeoGamma was compiled with a libogc compatible with it like libogc SVN)
- Added option to patch video modes
- Added video modes that can be forced(MPAL) / Changed to use slightly different video modes
- Fake IOS Version in memory (this removes the 002 error)
- Changed to Graphics by: xabarasx
- Added SD/USB Loading

Thanks to wii-info for the translation

Where to place the files and folder:

Ocarina codes: "NeoGamma/codes" or "codes"
gameconfig.txt: "NeoGamma/gameconfig.txt" or "gameconfig.txt" or "codes/gameconfig.txt"
Alternative.dol: "NeoGamma"
Patches: "NeoGamma"
Config file: (SD only) "NeoGamma/NeoGamma.cfg"


Testing procedure in case of a problem with a game:

cIOS249 is essential. rev17 is recommended. If and when you change the cIOS249 revision, it's better to use IOS36 (patched with TBR) rather than cIOS249 for the installation, in order to avoid a known bug (freeze during the game, HDD no longer recognized, intermittent black screen, etc...)

If you have a problem with a game, try these options:

• Hooktype: none
• Ocarina: no
• Alternative.dol: no
• Boot language: Console Default (2nd test for import games, with one of the languages supposedly present in the game)
• Force Video: Disc
• Patch Video: no
• VIDTV Patch: no
• Patch Country Strings: no (3rd test for import games: yes)

If you're using an SD or USB device, insert a disc anyway.

If the game still doesn't work after that, it means the game isn't compatible, the game reloads an IOS, the cIOS isn't compatible, you have a media issue (bad burn and/or ISO), or finally that there's a new, unknown problem.

If the screen freezes on a colored screen (green, pink, etc...) with the video mode set to "Disc", try different combinations of "Force Video", "Patch Video" and "VIDTV". Note that this solution can fix the problem on a lot of games.

Merci à wii-info pour la trad

Où placer les fichiers et dossier :

Ocarina codes: "NeoGamma/codes" ou "codes"
gameconfig.txt: "NeoGamma/gameconfig.txt" ou "gameconfig.txt" ou "codes/gameconfig.txt"
.dol alternatif : "NeoGamma"
Patches: "NeoGamma"
Config file: (SD seulement) "NeoGamma/NeoGamma.cfg"


Protocole de teste en cas de problème avec un jeu :

Le cIOS249 est indispensable. La rev17 est conseillé. Si et quand vous changer de rev du cIOS249, il est préférable d'utiliser l'ios36 (patch avec TBR) plutôt que le cIOS249 pour l'installation afin d'évité un bug connu (freeze pendant le jeu, HDD plus reconnu, écran noir intermittent, etc...)

En cas de problème avec un jeu, essayer avec ces options:

• Hooktype: none
• Ocarina: no
• Alternative .dol: no
• Boot language: Console Default (2ème teste pour les jeux import avec une des langues supposé être dans le jeu)
• Force Video: Disc
• Patch Video: no
• VIDTV Patch: no
• Patch Country Strings: no (3ème teste pour les jeux import: yes)

Si vous utiliser un support SD ou USB, insérer tout de même un disque.

Si le jeu ne fonctionne pas après cela c'est que le jeu n'est pas compatible, que le jeu recharge un IOS, que le cIOS n'est pas compatible, que vous avez un problème de media (mauvaise gravure et/ou d'ISO) ou pour finir qu'il y a un nouveau problème inconnu.

Si l'ecran freeze sur un écran de couleur (vert, rose, etc...) avec le mode video sur "Disc", essayer différentes combinaisons "Force Video", "Patch Video" et "VIDTV". Noté que cette solution peut résoudre le problème sur un grand nombre de jeux.
