hey all, basically if i get any PAL game I can run it fine without ever bricking my wii right? Also what about NTSC games that dont have a patch on them? What should I use generally to block against any bricking?

Can you READ?
PAL Wii + PAL game = NEVER bricked.
PAL Wii + NTSC game: make sure you have the latest update and remove the update from the disc.

Does the NTSC version of SSBB have the new update that may fix previously semi-bricked wii?

Wrong thread to ask this question. This is a region brick thread and your issue has nothing to do with that.

I agree these are related. I have the same problem. I have a wii with wiikey 1.9g and 3.2u firmware. I downloaded no more heroes (pal) and patched with regionfrii. It shows it on the disc channel but when I try to play it the screen stays black and freezes.
I also downloaded battalion wars 2 (Pal) wouldn't work so I turned on region free on my chip but it wants to update my 3.2u firmware! I turned off my wii so I didn't risk a brick. Patched game with regionfrii, and brickblocker and now the game wont work at all...

Those issue are a compatibility issue not a region brick issue. This thread is already cluttered enough we dont need to add issues of region comaptibility and game disc not reading issues.

Then I will rephrase. Will battalion wars 2 (PAL) actually update my 3.2u firmware?

Would be something that GBATemp compatibility list should say but it has been down for maintains for a day or so. So I wouldn't be able to tell you if the update would cause a region brick or duplicated channels or not. Heck the game might not even be region compatible for USA Wii systems.
But there is a USA version of battalion wars 2.

hi,
I just bought wasabi and i dled several games and i dont remember whether all of them are USA NTSE or not! would i be safe from brick if i always have latest firmware installed and never update with a game ???
another question: do games with new firmware, update by themselves or they will asks for my prompt?
so basically brick blocker removes the firmware update from the disc so ppl wont allow firmware update
TIA,

Dude. If you don't know whether they are pal or not, make sure you don't have regionoveride turned on on your chip. I am not sure if wasabi has that. Then if they are a different region they wont play. On your console. Then use regionfrii to make them for your console. They should play then unless they are asking for an update. If they do then use the brickblocker to take off the update. Its as black and white as that as far as I know. You need to take these steps, you may end up burning a few coasters in the process but it will keep you from making a mistake or messing up your iso with brickblocker which I understand can sometimes happen. either way from now on stick to your region its just the best way to go.

i just tried freeloader and it bypassed all the updates on my US games disc (i have a japanese wii). Now i can play all the games without bricking my wii, yay!
this was the quickest and best solution.

to play backup games, I guess it's safer to use both brickblocker and freeloader systematically.
Do you think it's the right way to go?
thanks

I semi-bricked my European PAL Wii with SSBB NTSC(U) version. I think the version of my Wii is currently 3.2U (not sure, It could be 3.1U but I cannot access my settings so I cannot tell for sure). Is there a game currently on the market that updates my EU Wii and removes the semi brick?
Thanks for your help.

Wish I would have seen this thread before I did this .....
Anyway I just semi bricked my NTSC WII with PAL Mario Kart . It works fine & still plays all my games . But I get the opera error when I try to access the settings .
I read I will have to update with a newer firmware than what I used . Since I can't access the settings I have no idea what firmware Mario Kart was ? I tried , Smash Bros, MLB2k8 & others , they don't update again . So I am assuming Mario Kart has a newer firmware then that . Now when Mario Kart NTSC finally comes out will I be able to re-update with that & it will fix the problem ? Or am I going to have to wait for a game to come out later on with a different firmware ?
Thanx in advance

I've done the same thing, semi-bricked with PAL MK on US Wii. Would the firmware be the same version in MK retail (PAL) as MK retail (US)? (also would 3.3U for example over-write 3.3E?)

I just want to add that even if you update with NTSC update on an US NTSC Wii, there's always a chance of a semi/complete brick, factors are what chip you're using and/or if Nintendo have developed ways to detect the chip, just because if your using the best chip on the market by no means, gives a 100% guareentee so some decisions/research should be done first before hitting that dreaded 'I accept' button.
Other than that, its the best/safer route to play same region games as the console, but as Nintendos updates roll out, things could get ugly at some point.
This is my sig...

I know the brick thing real well...But unfortunately, I accidentally insert the wrong disc with an update in it because of no name on the disc due to my own fault. Now my wii is back in its old condition, semi-bricked. I am just wondering if there is any game that contain 3.2 J firmware. Mine is the JP Wii and installed with the update 3.1 U from Opooona, the RPG game. Would anybody tell me which game contain the JP update 3.2. As my wii is updated with 3.1 J firmware. Hence, this tells me that even if u have the same firmware as the other region games do. U still have to be cautious and not to install the firmware; otherwise, it will cause semi-bricked.
