Hacking Neogamma R9 Channels

[rahoul102]

Update: All files from Beta 53 have been uploaded now. But I have removed the older ones (Beta 1 to 52), If you need any of those please tell me and I will upload them.

The Neogamma R8s are also have been reuploaded now in my R8 channel thread.
Multi-Mod-Manager uploaded.

 

[rahoul102]

Update: All previous NeoGamma R9 beta and R8 RC channels were uploaded to mediafire. Like I've said in the first post, if there is or are some beta versions that's not included here, please ask me to upload them.

This should speed up file making for your autoboot channels. Add this under the defines to main.c:

// Needed for Autoboot code part 3
void identify_IOS(u8 ios_slot, u8 *ios_base, u32 *ios_revision, char *ios_string);
u32 screenheight;
char ios_info[64];

Uncomment autoboot part 1 and 2, then replace part 3 with this:

// Autoboot code part 3
if (autoboot)
{
clearmenu();
write_font(185, 125 + 1*24,true, "Launching Game");
identify_IOS(CIOS_VERSION, NULL, NULL, ios_info);
// Replace "b54" with the correct version
write_font(68, screenheight - 60,true, "NeoGamma R9 b54, %s", ios_info);
apploader();
sleep(6);
clearmenu();
} else
{
write_font(80, screenheight - 60,true, "Autoboot canceled");
VIDEO_WaitVSync();
t = time(NULL) + 3; // Wait 3 seconds for button pressing to stop
while (time(NULL) < t) ;
clearscreen(xfb, 20, screenheight - 60, 278, 24, 0x00800080);
}

And comment this out in apploader.c

tell_cIOS_to_return_to_channel();

Thanks again JoostinOnline. I will do that in the next version.

Could you tell me how does the screenheight variable get set? It looks like this just defines it and sets it to zero; I assume it's being set somewhere but couldn't understand how or where?

Thanks. Also have you ever tried to compile the GC_Source portion of the project? I'm not having any luck doing that - I wanted to change the banner image and some of the text.

screenheight is defined in tools.c within init_video

screenheight = rmode->xfbHeight;

If you had read devkitPPC.txt you would have seen this:

Spoiler

This application is complied using a modfied version of devkitPPC r21. The included gcc 4.5.1 produces
an error when compiling with the parameter -Os, but that is required to get the GC low plugin below 6KB.
In order to compile this project(the GC part to be precise), you need to have the files from gcc 4.4.3 in
your devkitPPC folder. (no need to delete gcc 4.5.1)

Thanks for the answer. Just looked through the source code again and I think I understand now!

It's very strange to look at C code and understand it after working with Java and C# for so many years.

Sorry, I didn't explain enough, I did read devKitPPC.txt but I'm very noob at wii development and don't know how to set up my devkitpro environment with the mixture of the newer gcc and the older gcc 4.4.3. I do have experience with Java/C#, and some C/C++ but I'm not very familiar with gcc or devkitpro in general. my C experience is mostly microsoft visual studio

nevermind i figured it out, thanks

I don't think the OP will answer your request, it has been a long time since it was seen in GBAtemp. However, I have some wads of this thread that I downloaded at the time. Here we go...

NeoGamma R9 Beta 56
NeoGamma R9 Beta 56 Autoboot (Returns to Wii Menu)

You could also go through this post to get an alternative version of the autoboot channel.

You probably already know but ... have you tried to load backups through an USB external HD? It is the definitive way to go.

Oh,that is sad..

I looked at Amazon.es and the Game is still expensive...maybe have a Look on used Platforms ?
But please consider it is worth and you also need the ORIGINAL GAME for CTGP too.
