OP
Hey all,
have fully downloaded Metroid Prime 3, but have held back playing it yet (trust me, for me this is driving me insane lol) due to trying to find out more info on what this DOES to PAL systems.
Now, i have a PAL system, with both the new updates bringing it to 3.0E, including the small net update.
I know i can play MP3 on my system, and that it will update in a way that will produce 2 more channels, another news/weather channel each, which do not work, and cannot be deleted.
INFO WE KNOW OF:
A quote taken from the release post, by Redsquirrel.
Now, we're waiting confirmation from Redsquirrel and others who have already updated, that the channels (except for the dupes) work fine, that the system settings work fine, and that your able to play online, aka, mario strikers.
It seems this update doesn't nuff up your SETTINGS in the same way that certain PAL games (mario strikers, Big Brain Academy) nuffed up japanese and ntsc gamers.
The more info we can get from more people who have already played Prime 3 on their PAL system the better, so if people don't mind reporting in here, with the following details, that would be great.
SYSTEM SETTINGS PRIOR to 3.0E (include any random changes, such as dupe channels)
DID YOU UPDATE TO 3.0E?
HAVE YOU DONE THE MP3 UPDATE?
HAVE YOU TESTED GAMES OTHER THAN MP3, AS WELL AS ONLINE, AND CHANNELS?
The more reports we get the easier it will be to see how things are for PAL gamers still reluctant to play MP3.

thats a shame, i thought a system format would remove the 2 duplication channels.
Anyway...
PAL Will
2.2E Updated with Pokemon Revolution and recieved 2 duplication weather/news channels
Updated with 3.0E and duplicate channels remained
Updated with Metroid Prime 3 and duplicate channels remain
Metroid Prime 3 plays fine, and appears to be excellent!!!
This is a quote from nehs, and it may be a possible way around for at least Cyclowiz users, not sure about wiifree/wiikey users yet, in getting rid of the duplicate channels.
Found this hope it helps
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 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
THANKS SETEM
