Hi guys,

As my names suggested I am a wii Newbie, however this forum has provided answer to a lot of my questions, thanks to you all:D

But I am a little bit confused about this one thing, my Wii is a Japanese wii with a mod chip, and I live in Australia, I know I have the latest firmware (J3.2) so I Was wondering if I was to buy a Australia PAL game, should it still be asking me to update the firm ware or it should load it right away?

and if I have the latest Japanese firmware does this mean at most my wii will be semi bricked and not full bricked?

Thanks guys.

there is always a chance for an update from a game, so just watch out when u play out-of-region games. dun wanna brick it? then dun risk it.

my suggestion, rent the game and put it in to see if it wants to updates/if it plays b4 buying the game.

also notes: u can see if the game wants to update simply by looking at the main menu when u put the disc in. if u see the game title in the disc channel then it doesnt require update. if it appears some kanji that means firmware update then it does require a new update to play. which of course u shouldnt do becuz its out of region.

Thanks mate, so I am guessing some games even if its from Australia it wont need a update?

And because I am buying my games does this mean to be sure I'll need to back it up to ISO and then use regfree and brick blocker to be 100% safe??
