    You don't give enough details...

    If it's a PAL Wii and the game is PAL then update and it'll be fine.

    Anything else requires some addjustment and preparation i.e. if you have a JAP or USA Wii with PAL MK for example. - No it's not a "frightner" btw - you should be careful and never take game updates from regions other than your console if you don't know what you're doing cos you can brick your Wii. In region is ok.

    Its a pal Wii and the game is pal too.

    I asked the guy who chipped it and he didn't know.

    So it is ok for me to update it on the wii itself either through the game or on the console through the net ?

    Whenever possible update on the net - that's a general rule.

    Games can have updates outside of the online update - i.e. for the game itself and they can be taken if the game is in region. Yours is.

    You can do either in this case but maybe, go for online first and then the game, by way of starting good practice. It won't hurt at all. You might update online and then a game will still ask you to update when you put it in. That's normal.

    You should have no problems with your MK whatever you do.

    Give all specs when asking for help cos ppl can't guess them.

    Console region and firmware version?
    Game version? - I assume MK PAL?
    Modchip and firmware version?
    Media? - Verbatim DVD-R recommended.
    Burn Speed? - 4x recommended.
    Burn Program? - imgburn recommended.

    i have a japanese wii with 3.2j but when i try mario kart it still tries to update, but the update is different to a normal one. it doesnt show the game on the screen in the little winder where it usually shows the game (before you click it to select play game) it shows ????? and when clicked it tries to update. Because i have 3.2j already what will the update do?? try to change it 3.2pal or something? is it safe to update or not?? ive tried brickblocker but when i do that it shows the game in the little window, but when i click it the screen goes black and my wii locks up. i also does the same thing a few other new games such as destroy all humans and wii aces, the game looks like its gonna work, then clicking it makes the screen blank and wii locks up.

    do i need to update?? ive searched and searched and there seems to be a few people with this blank screen problem but not sure whats needed to fix it? please help.

    So, is it even necessary to use wiifrii and brickblocker on the PAL game version for play on the NTSC-U wii if using wiikey 1.9s with 'region free' on and 'block updates' on?

    Also, my success story is....

    NTSC-U wii 3.2U
    Wiikey 1.9s - region free, block updates both on

    I used the 2.9 gig [Wii]Mario_Kart[PAL][ESPALWII.com].rar
    ran brickblocker

    Burned memorex @ 4x

    Workes fine, playin online from canada with people from everywhere no lag.

    I did get a message saying the game was going to default to 50hz unless i changed it in the menu, which wouldn't of worked on my tv. But I just hit A and the game ran normal anyways in 60hz.

    Well...Here come my question. I have the pal backup wii game, and my system firmware is up-to-date, 3.1J semi-bricked unfortunately. However, when I tried to use the Wii channel, it worked fine. But the catch is I was asked to install the wii channel on the main menu, which I did. But when I got the wii channel completely installed and I clicked on it, it didn't work. Besides, sometimes, I got 001 error and had to reboot the system. My firmware of wiikey is 1.9g with region override set on. Have any of you experience that?

    Jap Wii users only and are trying to play the PAL version of Mario Kart Wii you need to do the following:

    http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=81870&st=0

    Basically if you are on 3.2J Firmware you need to download the dump file for 3.1J_V2 and switch this over on the MK iso using WUM(wii update manager). Perform the update on your wii with with the updated iso as you have now changed over the PAL update with a Jap one so its safe to update.

    My wii is JAP with 3.2J --> Installed 3.1J_V2 after applying the update as described in the link provided. Mario Kart is now working.

    Prior to this MK was showing up in the wii channel but would then go to a black screen upon load.

    I dont understand Jap owners are trying to use the PAL ver?
    I mean if you have the access to the usual places where the PAL ISO is then you will most likey be able to get the NTSC-J ver.

    Just use your own region!

    Maybe they prefer English language no matter how limited it's usage? ;)

    you gotta remember, if they are willing to go so far for a chipped-wii...maybe they went so far as to get it in japan or from a japanese source ;) especially if they wanted it earlier than their country, which tends to parallel half of this thread.

    well...most of the pal ISO websites do indeed have Wii JP ISOs. But there aren't many. As you stated, PAL ISOS, they mostly have the PAL WII ISO. To be honest, the JP MK ISO is out already but you could only find it on BT. There is still no direct download.
