apparently pal systems are getting bricked from the update.............

"Multiple reports appearing of pal systems getting bricked with the update...

I thought you had the same problem.

I wish there was a "press button for x-seconds" format procedure."

Is this for all PAL Wii's or only those with a modchip? I'm assuming modded wiis since the PAL version of SMP is not out yet.

92x50MB .rar (or .r## files)

So these .par2 files are not what I need? I was hoping they are some sort of archive file I could extract...

They're for validating (and fixing) the rar files, should they become corrupt.

Dammit, no Super Paper Mario for me for a while.
abgwii isn't on Virgin Media's free newsgroup server

 

[lilsago]

hi, iám new here (sorry), but... how do i download the torrent,
thanks in advance

 

[Barra]

Get it from a torrent tracker if you can find it.

1. Find it on a torrent tracker
2. Download the torrent
3. Open it with your favourite torrent downloader (uTorrent/Azureus)
4. Unpack all the rar files
5. Burn it onto a disc
6. Enjoy!

(Step 1 will probably be the hardest bit for now)

Search torrent sites for what you need, No one will give you any downloading advice here

"Multiple reports appearing of pal systems getting bricked with the update...

im just wondering, is "bricked" actually a correct word? is it just the past of "brick" which i know to be "break" and past "broken"....

or is it some term ive never used before? (eg throwing a brick at something eg "it got bricked")

LOL!

edit: Just find the article that answers my own question: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(electronics)

 

[jaxxster]

bricked means....turning something intoa brick AKA big expensive paper weight.

 

[fartman16]

"bricked," as in, you turned your wii into a brick.

 

[edit_text]

It is also avalible on a.b.tt

 

[pipesfranco]

it hasnt bricked my wii yet and there is no option to run the update once you insert the disc

 

[jaxxster]
