[Wii] Modding the Wii. Mine has go-faster stripes and a massive spoiler

No i have japanese Wii modded.
I have MP3 NTSC/UC version.
I used the update from the MP3DVD(mp3 was downloaded burned and sold in markets ,maybe the pirate MP3 comes comes with all region patch or something?).

Thats the reason i test run games on the shop.
So i installed it there played it and then purchased.


Again what i want to know if Jap REUC will have update should i go ahead and update?

Now i am at 1st planet level in the game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This is what I heard:
- If you have the latest firmware 3.0E/J and update with MP3 = Two News and Weather Channel which the clone channel will render useless and cannot be deleted.
- If you have firmware 2.2E/J and update with MP3 = BRICK!

And I don't know if REUC will have a firmware update. It's usually games from Nintendo that has firmware.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Basically don't update the Wii firmware via any game. Connect to wifi, and update that way. But first, I'd check around different forums (I can't think of any that I'd bother with aside from blackcats) to see if there's any bricking due to an update. There's always going to be a message pop up asking you if you wish to download the latest update, so that's when you need to be cautious.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think you forgot to mention the sole purpose of this modchip: region free.

Here is a compatbility list, that also lists possible bricking games. But then again, there is some free tool to patch and ISO, so it won't update.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

WiiBrickBlocker? I searched around for that but all the download links were dead. Anywho yeah I've heard about it. It won't be too useful on legitimate games though.

FELIPE NO

Visit WiiSO for all your further modding needs.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Done, but I still can't find the answer I'm looking for. I have a PAL Wii and I recently burned MP3 to a disc. On my Wii, it wants to update. I already have 3.0E though. So the question is, what next? Someone on that forum you linked me to said that they've updated with a PAL console before, but that's just one person. Since you've probably done it before, I need your advice.

Also, sources are telling me that there's no way you can play MP3 properly if you're applying BrickBlocker to it, because it messes up the binary data figure.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In order to play MP3 you HAVE to install the firmware. At GBAtemp.net someone found a way to avoid having the dual News and Weather channel but this involes having the ISO of the game and making two burned copies.

From Board Message:

Allright. There is a way around this "double your News and Weather Channel" stuff. Ive done this on TWO Wiis, both with the latest 3.0 firmware (including the little one that came some days after the big 3.0 that fixed som internet channel issues) and both are modded with CycloWiiz. This is step by step how I did it on TWO Wiis (PAL ofc, BOTH got no duplicate channels!!!):

1. Ofcourse download the game.
2. Extract the ISO-files with WinRAR.
3. Make TWO NEW FOLDERS.
4. Copy the original ISO and paste one into EACH of the new folders you have created.
5. Run ONE of the copyed ISOs (leave the original alone...!) with Brick Blocker.
6. Run the OTHER copyed ISO in Region Frii (convert FROM USA to PAL!) (dont know if runing it through Region Frii is necessary, but I did it...)
7. Now burn TWO discs. ONE with the ISO that was "BrickBlocked" and the second disc with the one that was "Region Friid" (keep order of which disc is Brick Blocked and which is Friid...!).
8. Now you have two copies of Metroid Prime 3, right?
9. Try to insert the BRICK BLOCKED game. Black screen. No problem.
10. Insert the Region Friid game. It will now say "Initiating Wii System Update" and you can press "OK". Press OK, then on the next message press "I accept".
11. NOW! Let the update run for SOME SECONDS. Let perhaps 10-15% of the bar get blue, then UNPLUG your wii console!!!!!!
12. Insert the power again, turn on your Wii. You do NOT have double channels now.
13. Insert the game that you Brick Blocked (the one that used to give you a black screen...). Let it load, and BOOM; it works. Now you have a working Metroid Prime game and a non-doubled Wii

THANKS SETEM

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Bah, I'll just have duplicate Weather channels then. I don't care.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I might have got 'No Access' to channels, but i didn't buy Wii for channels or any VC stuff.
Being playing MP3 now at 2nd planet.
Some one ponted out game being hanging after PED suit, but it didn't hang on me.

After reading all above posts and links, i guess i am lucky to play MP3, it seems modding is mess.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I am dloading REUC right now released by dreamz group, the poster said about SMG patch in the game.

Does it work on my system or need an other fix?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm about to mod my Wii and I was wondering if this was a decent deal.

My wii is "legless", and I think I'll be getting the Wiikey. So it'll be about 60-70 CAD. Is that around the usual price? Also, looking around, there are different chips that are almost double this price of the Wiikey, what's the benefits from getting such an expensive chip (Wasabi $80) when I just want the basic function (playing backups)? Or does it depend on if my Wii can just use the chip or not.

Also, I heard a while ago that the retail Brawl didn't work with the Wiikey. Is that fixed?

Thanks a lot!
