Error 002 occurs when a game requires a certain IOS to run, but it isn't there. IOS are usually installed during a system update, so unless you update from the game, you cannot play it without some software mods. If you do update off the disc, it will most likely land you on either 4.2 or 4.3. Both updates have new features that stop modchips from playing out-of-region backups, only in-region. You'd still be able to play backups, but only ones that are your region (PAL, NTSC-U etc).

Of course to fix this problem without updating is another story, you'd have to use a game like Super Smash Bros Brawl NTSC-U or LEGO Indiana Jones to load a WAD Program, install the required IOS & then you would be able to play your game, however this is a long process, the only way to make it easier would be to completely softmod your wii.

But then of course, we don't know what IOS Wii Party has...yet. So your options are as follows:

1) Update your Wii & Sacrifice your modchip's region-free capability
2) Go through some lengthy software processes to install the IOS without updating.

Of course, since your only on 3.0, Wii Party may not have a 4.2 or 4.3 update. It may be a lower update, but we don't know what it is.
