The PAL Wii with the double channels caused by NTSC Big Brain Academy I have updated online up to 3.1E. While the double channels didn't go away, the system is intact and working perfectly.

 

hey,

sorry to be a pain...
i've been well dumb and installed a us version of mario galaxy on my pal wii. i got the double channels and no access to the wii settings because of a opera browser error.

what are my options?
any firmwares to download?
any discs to try?
pal copy of galaxy?
downgrade options?

appreciate your assistance dudes
cheers

 

I think there have been posts to indicate that the PAL version of SMG can fix PAL Wiis which were semi-bricked by the NTSC-U SMG. No idea how come, just thank your lucky 120 stars that it does. =)

 

guys im really desperated for help. Mine is a Jap Wii, it was semi-bricked by guitar hero 3 legends of rock. Tried o solve it with SMG NTSC JP but no deal, i got duplicate channels but no seetings working....

Please can someone help me?? Do anyone know wich game can solve this??? (the guitar hero was my first update ever)

 

bixero,
You prob have to wait for another Jap game upgrade. meanwhile DON'T put in the latest out of region game unless you know for sure it doesn't do an upgrade. (Check the compatibility list online)
I had to hold back on GH3 even though my semi-bricked jap wii was fixed with SMG(J). Once you have your settings back. Get your Wii online asap and download the latest upgrade. I got 3.1J.
PAL users were lucky that SMG(E) still fixed their Wii though it got semi bricked by SMG(U).

BE CAREFUL GUYS. IT CAN'T BE STRESSED ENUFF.
1)KEEP THE WII UPDATED (ONLINE) IF POSSIBLE
2)GET LATEST GAME WITH YOUR REGION UPDATE.
FAILURE TO DO SO, CHECK THE COMPATIBILITY LIST ONLINE, USE WBB OR SIMILAR OR POP IN THE OUT OF REGION DISC AT YOUR OWN RISK.

 

Need help guys.
i have a ntsc-u wii is a d2c and i have just semi brick my wii because i play the super mario galazy ntsc-j because the update.
anyone has the same problem and can i fix it? thank you

 

Hi guys... does anyone know ? when you download the latest firmware online how does it download the correct region firmware... ie if you have a NTSC console and download firmware when in a PAL Country does it still install the correct Version?

Also it seems certain region firmwares can overwrite others but not visa-versa....

So here is a senrio:

.... You have a USA Wii here in UK you download NTSC firmware 3.1 online, happy days you think!... Aunty Vera buys the kids original SMG(pal) for christmas, kids put it in while you are fast asleep after watching the queens speech. Overwrites with PAL version 3.1, Hey presto Semi bricked Wii.. kids are screaming for the rest of the holidays, wife blames you for being so tight in the first place and kicks you out of the house.. Could happen!!

 

so i could still brick my wii even if i use wii brickblocker?? i have 3.1 E on my wii pal and i am thinking of playing SMG but its ntsc.....can i use brick blocker and its all good or is it a huge risk?

 

Why not just get the PAL release...

 

i been looking through newsgroups..cant find it

 

The NTSC version of SMG is not region coamptible with PAL Wii systems. So you will need to find the PAL version of SMG.

 

Don't know I this can help, but here's how I de-brick my half-bricked Pal Wii.

My Pal Wii is half-bricked since I've tried to play NTSC Big brain academy. Few days ago I used Pal Metroid Prime 3 to upgrade to the 3.0E firmware, but I didn't solved the problem.
Yesterday I tried with Pal Super Mario Galaxy, and It's 3.1E upgrade, and now my Wii is FULLY working!!

 

Surely if you are already running 3.1e and you load SMG.. if it doesnt ask to do a firmware update then you are ok to continue.
I have not found any game as yet that has tried to overwrite 3.1e(pal) but 3.1e does overwrite ntsc version.

 

I can play ntsc (usa) version of SMG on my pal wii no problem. As long as you update firware online to 3.1e first.

 

Newbie to mod wii. Semi-brick my ntsc-j with smg ntsc-u. Purchased smg ntsc-j, but found out that firmware is only 3.0. still semi-brick. anybody bought wii fit yet? If so, does this software come with ntsc-j 3.1j? Help. or any new game disc with 3.1j?

 

hey... sorry, i'm a noob but i recently semi-bricked my ntsc-u with guitar hero III, would super mario galaxy ntsc-u unbrick it or big brain academy?

 

yep. smg has the latest firmware. make sure you use smg ntsc-u, not the japanese or pal kind

 

I have a wii PAL edition and Ive played SMG pal without any problems, then when i run metroid prime it prompts for a system update...is this safe? im using a wiikey


I thought SMG was using the latest version

 

I have just been getting some info on this from a very well known tracker,and as long as it is a Pal game the update will not give you any bricking issues.
