Hooking up backwards is a good way to fry the diodes in an alternator, or a solid state regulator. Are you sure they're working right? If you're convinced the alternator is working, then the regulator must be working too. On the off chance that it's an old-fashioned generator, not an alternator, hooking it up backwards can polarize it the wrong way and then it won't charge. If you fried the amp meter, most likely it would be burned open and you would not be getting power to anything.
