IMPORTANT WII UPDATE FOR ALL CUSTOMERS
Please DO NOT update your consoles firmware to version 3.1e online, or update from the following games:
• Wii Sports (newer version with modification disclaimer on the reverse)
• Legend of Zelda
• Super Mario Galaxy
This update will make your Wii not play ANY games at all.
We suggest Customers DO NOT complete ANY updates until we have more information.

Use on Metroid Prime 3 AND Super Mario Galaxy.

(You must be on v1.9g to run SMG.)

For starters only PAL Wii’s are effected.

Allright. There is a way around this “double your News and Weather Channel” stuff. Ive done this on TWO Wiis, both with the latest 3.0 firmware (including the little one that came some days after the big 3.0 that fixed som internet channel issues) and both are modded with CycloWiiz. This is step by step how I did it on TWO Wiis (PAL ofc, BOTH got no duplicate channels!!!):

1. Ofcourse download the game.
2. Extract the ISO-files with WinRAR.
3. Make TWO NEW FOLDERS.
4. Copy the original ISO and paste one into EACH of the new folders you have created.
5. Run ONE of the copyed ISOs (leave the original alone…!) with Brick Blocker.
6. Run the OTHER copyed ISO in Region Frii (convert FROM USA to PAL!) (dont know if runing it through Region Frii is necessary, but I did it…)
7. Now burn TWO discs. ONE with the ISO that was “BrickBlocked” and the second disc with the one that was “Region Friid” (keep order of which disc is Brick Blocked and which is Friid…!).
8. Now you have two copies, right?
9. Try to insert the BRICK BLOCKED game. Black screen. No problem.
10. Insert the Region Friid game. It will now say “Initiating Wii System Update” and you can press “OK”. Press OK, then on the next message press “I accept”.
11. NOW! Let the update run for SOME SECONDS. Let perhaps 10-15% of the bar get blue, then UNPLUG your wii console!!!!!!
12. Insert the power again, turn on your Wii. You do NOT have double channels now.
13. Insert the game that you Brick Blocked (the one that used to give you a black screen…). Let it load, and BOOM; it works. Now you have a working Metroid Prime game and a non-doubled Wii

I would make sure you’re at 3.0E before attempting this though, just to be safe.

Hey Guys,

I know you have been waiting patiently for news.. unfortunately not much has been happening on the scene. We can play backups with the mod chips.. and we can do a bunch of crazy stuff with the Wii-mote.. thats about where we are at right now. No sign of home brew yet.. but it is still really hard to get your hands on a Wii.. I read somewhere that over 12 million have been sold so far.. crazy..

As far as the junk comments go.. I have tried to go through and delete most of them.. and also implemented some new filters.. hopefully this will fix the problem.
