Hi all,

I have an EU PAL Wii with an unkown modchip. I have an original copy of Mario Kart. When I inserted the disc, it wanted to update my wii. This did not work however. The progress bar did not move forward.

I tried updating my Wii with my internet connection which worked just fine. I know have update 3.2E installed.

Now I tried Mario Kart again (Which is supposed to have the 3.1E_v2 update on it). It STILL wanted to run the update. This time the progress bar moved to 15% but then stopped.

Next, I downloaded a PAL copy of Mario Kart from internet and removed the update with Brick Blocker. Now i get the famous Black Screen error... *cry*.

Are there any other options I can try? (apart from buying a second Wii) If I can't play Mario Kart I will get brain damage :(

Cheers!

Try the original or PAL copy (not brick blocked) again. Let it update even if it seems that it is hanging at a certain percentage. I have had this happen before with updates and I have seen a few others that have also. All I did was let it go longer and eventually it finished the update.

Thanks for the tip. I have tried that. I have let the update run for 25 minutes, but unfortunately the progress bar did not move any further. (I even stuck a piece of tape on my television to check :) )

I also read a trick about someone that let the update run to like 15% an d then switch the dvd to one without the update, but that didn't work either.

Would there be any way to check what kind of modchip is in there, without having to take the Wii apart?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I already have 5% brain damage.

Cheers
