Another question about Metroid Prime 3 on 3.0J console.
If I get the J version of the game and let it run updates, Would it still try to update when I put the U version in? Could that bypass the whole updating scheme?

hey guys..

I have a Wii in version 2.1e and wiikey(PAL)
what is the best way for me to update to 3.0e without fear?
i might add that i do not have access to the internet..

is there an easy safe way to update?

plus i have a hypothetical question - if i had a NTSC 2.1u, was it safe for me to just let the game update for me(MP3)?

THX alot!

Hi westyuk1,

Kata has been released. Will be waiting to hear something from you. Likely our update will only come with Galxy on Nov 1.

Hi
I've got a question about if you would get a hold of a japanese metroid 3, wouldn't it install the japanese update, and then wouldn't it would be safe to play USA metroid? without having to go through all the stuff with two dvd:s and etc.

i also have jpn 2.2J semi-bricked by Mario Strikers(USA)

Metroid Prime 3(USA) works fine on my console

I don't think Prime 3 (JAP) has been released yet but when Mario Strikers (JAP) is released soon it might have the 3.0J update

When you said Metroid Prime 3 (USA) works fine on your jpn console, do you mean you do not have the dual channels or they're there?

Sleeping247 has finally posted all the information we require. Here's a copy of his post, all due credit goes to him, he's a lifesaver!

FOR NTSC-J USERS:

I have a NTSC-J 3.0J Nintendo Wii updated online with the latest version.
I tried the two disk method earlier, and it WORKS FOR NTSC-J OWNERS
There is just ONE thing you must change.

1. Download the game
2. Extract the downloaded files with WinRar into an ISO
3. Make TWO NEW FOLDERS.
4. Copy the original ISO and paste one ISO 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 JAP)
7. Now burn TWO discs. ONE with the ISO that was "BrickBlocked" and the second disc with the one that was "Region Friid"
8. Now you have two copies of Metroid Prime 3, 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 let mine update for Twelve (12) seconds before turning it off.

Interesting! Kinda freaked about yanking the power during the update though... Anyone else try this yet?
I'd give it a go, but I still haven't got the complete ISO yet...

I just wanted to follow up on my previous post about this. I finally got my hands on the ISO and follow the steps above (except #9, and I also didn't Region Frii my ISO since I've unlocked Region Locking with Wiikey), and it works as promised. No double channels and Metroid Prime works!

There isn't a 3.0J update on any games yet, I'm still waiting for it. Need it to save my semi-bricked JP Wii caused by Metroid Prime 3.

EDIT: Oh sorry, I didn't see that you meant Mario Strikers Charged JP. I'm not sure bout that one yet - since it did come out after MP3.
