NeoGamma ist ein verbesserter Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma vom deutschen Coder WiiPower. Mit ihm ist es möglich Sicherheitskopien abzuspielen, egal ob DVD-R oder DVD+R. Bei DVD+R ist es wichtig den Book Type auf DVD-R zu stellen. Er weist eine bessere Kompatibilität als der Backup Launcher auf und hat noch einige zusätzliche Funktionen zu bieten wie zB. das Laden von Games via SD- und USB-Geräte. Weitere Informationen sind der Readme zu entnehmen.

R9 beta 49 - > R9 beta 50
