I think (but in not 100% sure) that if you open the file in brick blocker it should tell you the region. If not try regionfrii...I'm pretty sure one of them says somewhere.

I think the only way is to copy the ISO onto your computer (time and memory consuming) and then try.

Hope this helps

I don't think there is any reason why it shouldn't play on your Wii (other region games tend to work, or at least show some signs of trying). You should try obtaining your own backup and using that as different Wiis can be really finicky about different kinds of media. Some types will work on one console, some wont. The DVD-R's that seem to have the most success are Verbatims and Sony, but really its trial and error on your system.

Also don't update via a different region disc. It will semi-brick your Wii (just incase they work)
