Hey guys, this should be an easy one for someone out there...
I've looked around for instructions on what all the various settings in Neogamma do. There's a lot of them and most of them I have no clue what they even are... I've searched around a bit but haven't come up with anything.
Any help? Thanks!
I guess you are asking about something like this:
Hooktype: Not routinely enabled. It is used mostly for debugging and Ocarina.
Ocarina: Self-explanatory. You are either using Ocarina cheat codes or you are not. This setting has options for Ocarina SD or USB devices.
Alternative .dol: Needed for certain games-less than a dozen games right now use alt.dols. Set to the disc setting enables a search of the disc for .dols and allows one to select the .dol to be loaded. Enable this only for those games that require an alt.dol to play. The "SD & USB" setting will load a .dol from SD or USB rather than loading the main.dol from disc. The .dol is to be in the NeoGamma folder and has a required nomenclature.
Boot language: Option sets language to force. "Console Default" forces no language, "Auto Force" forces English on NTSC-U games, and Japanese on NTSC-J games. Forcing the language of the disc is required for some out-of-region games.
Force Video: Option sets video mode. "Disc" is the default and nothing is forced. "Wii" forces the video mode set in the Wii settings.
Patch Video: Should not be routinely enabled. Patches the video mode(s) inside the main.dol to the game's initial video mode. This addresses those out-of-region games with odd coloration.
VIDTV Patch: Not routinely enabled. Used for persistent display problems with out-of-region games.
Patch Country Strings: Not routinely enabled. Required for some out-of-region games; primarily needed by Japanese Wiis.
A lot of trial and error is involved when playing out-of-region games. If you get either color issues or a green screen freeze try different combinations of Force Video, Patch Video and VIDTV. Sometimes an out-of-region game just can’t be played.
Thanks, that's a big help. Basically I need to not fiddle with that stuff unless necessary. Good to know!
Don't be so sure what's self-explanatory with us newbs; I had no idea what Ocarino was.
I think Ocarina has some problem and is not being used right now. I did add the term cheat codes as the clue, though.
Has there been any sort of compatibility list compiled with regard to NG r7 and what's required with out-of-region games? I'm a n00b just getting started with burning back-ups and have yet to find anything like that.
