I HAVE NOW PASSWORD PROTECTED MY CHANNELS TO PREVENT LEECHERS.

Alright, here is a channel for the most recent NeoGamma R9 Beta 26 that I made! It is tested and is fully working without any problems (no crash) on my 4.2U NTSC Wii. Still be aware for "bad wads" out there! It is basically NeoGamma.dol files that I made into custom channels.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOME BRICK PROTECTION (PRIILOADER, BOOTMII AS BOOT2) BEFORE YOU INSTALL ANY TYPES OF WADS. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Channel Sample (Neogamma R9 Beta 13 - Beta 22). THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED.

Starting from now, there will be an update on NeoGamma R9 Beta's. Everytime a new release is released, I will be testing it out and then making a custom fully working Channel for you guys.

cMIOS Installers
Waninkoko's cMIOS V5 (not compatible with GC mode internal and external) - http://filetrip.net/f9667-cMIOS-5.html
WiiGator's cMIOS Installer (compatible with GC mode internal and external) - http://www.mediafire.com/?mn2jzmqg0ny
WiiPower's cMIOS (compatible with GC mode internal and external) - http://www.mediafire.com/?knjnznnzmkr
- Code: Select all
The cMIOS is basically identical with WiiGator's cMIOS, but without the DVD-R patch and i
always use MIOSv4. The cMIOS should allow all retail gamecube games to be played from the disc
channel, and it allows to boot gamecube homebrew.This cMIOS is only for use with retail discs.
Backup gamecube games do boot with this cMIOS, but only if the loader doesn't allow the game to
reset the drive. If the game can't reset the drive, a disc change is impossible. So if you want to run
gamecube backups, get WiiGator's cMIOS which allows everything this cMIOS does, plus running of
gamecube backups.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
