I have a PAL wii with the most up to date firmware:

I have just got my new wiinja and have a couple of questions:

1. The updates on the website - do i need them? and what does Update 2 do?

2. Im scared to get any games with fear of bricking - what precautions should i take?

and 3. If i do get a NTSC game on my PAL wii, will it ask for me to install the update or will it just automatically do it when i insert the disk?

Open to all answers! Thanks alot

I do not have a Winja but I would assume the latest update for it would be the best.

As to playing an NTSC game on your PAL Wii. You should be fine as long as you keep your PAL Wii updated with the newest firmware.

If your Wii is up to date and you insert the game disc that has an update on it (Super Paper Mario) the update will start. It will check to see what firmware you have installed on your Wii. If you have the newest firmware installed it will detect that and skip the update.

Again I will try to attempt to explain this to you.

If your PAL Wii is updated with the most recent firmware you will not have to worry about an NTSC game disc updating your system.

As to stopping the update NO you can't but there is no reason to stop it if you have the latest firmware installed on your PAL it already!!!!!!!!!!

The game disc will start the update and check what firmware you have on your system. If you have it updated already to the most recent firmware it will skip the update.

I don't know how to make it any more clear to you.

If your that worried about it then disable the region override on the Modchip and only play the correct region games that your Wii region is.

Last time I new all current region updates where the same version #

I am at 2.2U which U = USA but it doesn't effect anything. If you have 2.2 then you are current.

To find out what version your on go to your Wii settings and it will be listed in the top right hand corner.

Yes if your Wii is updated to the newest firmware you should be fine playing the game.
