Hello All,

Just a Quick Question about updating my Wii to the Latest Version

I Currently have an Australian PAL Wii Running 3.1E Firmware, It has a WiiKey with 1.9s.

Im considering Updating it, but was Confused about the Process,

I Have Read through this Thread, and am not too sure...

The reason why I'm confused is, is because i had the Wii Running With Mario Kart Wii (3.0?) but also at the same time I Was using Super Mario Galaxy With No Problems.

If I Update to WiiKey 1.9g and Then do a Internet Update Will The Wii Be Bricked?

You have a few things backwards I'm afraid.

Mario Kart has firmware 3.2. If you're playing it on firmware 3.1 then you likely have a brickblocked copy. SMG has 3.0 so it will run fine on a 3.1 wii, no problems there.

The 1.9s wiikey firmware is the most recent. 1.9g came before it. So if you're on 1.9s then you dont have to worry about updating it.

And finally, updating your wii via the internet will NEVER brick it. Bricking is only caused by running out of region updates off of games. The newer firmwares do negatively effect homebrew, but if you're just running backup games with a modchip you don't have anything to worry about.

Thank You penguin98

By Brickblocked Copy, do you mean the Game, Or is it a Setting in the Console?

Brickblocked means that the game disk is altered to prevent it from running updates.
