Wii #0239 - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (USA)

[bluebright]

Well, its offical. We all rock so very hard. I love how we solve most of these problems. Have fun playing Metroid! I know I will...

I tried the above posted methods with no success, disc read errors. I have modchip region free disabled. So...

Updated Method for those without region free enabled on modchip

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 If you DO NOT have region free enabled on your modchip, use Region Frii on the Brick Blocked ISO.
6. Run the OTHER copyed ISO in Region Frii (convert FROM USA to PAL/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.

Worked no problem.

Sorry to ask, and yes I did a google, but does anyone have a link where I may download the Region Frii software? Thanks

So the duplicate channel problem is only on PAL systems and not NTSC?

From my understanding, it exists for PAL and NTSC-J Users.
NTSC-U users are not affected as the game is NTSC-U.
If you have PAL or NTSC-J, refer to my earlier post for a work around.

Nevermind, removed the space in the search engine and found a whole host of links

 

[xen_au]

Yes, only on PAL.


Also, I used the above BrickBlock method. and I get graphical errors on 50mhz mode (PAL).

The shown screen is moved down about 10-20percent. So there is a big black line at the top of the screen. And aiming is off by the same amount.

Putting the Wii in 60mhz Mode fixes this graphical issue with PAL wiis.

Note this is on a 4:3 screen. Standard Def

I take it there's no easy way to boot "backups" without a chip on a 3.0U Wii, is there?

 

[Puar]

I just ran Metroid Prime on my friend's 2.2U Wii and, after the update, it was still on 2.2U, meaning that either there is no firmware update included or that it only contains the 2.2U update if there is one at all. At any rate, this made me think about the 2.2U update that semi-bricked my JP Wii and gave me duplicate channels as well, so I ask... those of you with a European Wii suffering from the duplicate channel effect, have you checked your Wii Settings page to see whether or not it's still inoperable or do you too now have a semi-bricked Wii on your hands?

[ddrrmm]

the people who found out about this method are great.
And why would u NOT be able to update (fw) next time, i did this same thing with pokemon usa, no problems at all. and theres thousands of people who unplugged power during updating in earlier cases already.

So here's what I did [I have firmware 3.0E on my Wii and latest WiiKey stuff]
1. Updated the iso with RegionFrii.
2. Burned the dvd iso @ 18x speed on a Verbatim -R disc via Nero 7.
3. Wrote Metroid Prime 3: Corruption [RegionFrii] on the disc once it was finished burning
4. Updated the already updated RegionFrii iso with BrickBlocker.
5. Burned once again the iso @ 18x speed on an other Verbatim -R disc via Nero 7.
6. Wrote Metroid Prime 3: Corruption [BrickBlocker] on the disc once it was finished burning.
7. Inserted the RegionFrii one into the Wii. Ran from Disc Channel. It wanted to do a update, press OK and then I Accept. Then it will load REALLY slow. When it has loaded for 10-15% I removed the powercable to the Wii.
8. I then reinserted the powercable and started the Wii. Then I took out the RegionFrii disc, and inserted the BrickBlocker disc.
9. Viola, the game works like a clock and there are NO EXTRA TWO CHANNELS!

As for the game itself.. Pretty mediocre beginning. But holy shit at the end of the beginning. Pretty much the most badass boss battle ever with a certain famous Metroid monster

I couldn't play much more as I had to get up for work today

Just wondering, if you do pull your power plug out while the firmware is in progress will you be able to do future firmware updates that Nintendo release
as you`ll more than likely need them

ist very Nice German text

 

[Gangster]

YYYEAAAH!!!! Endlich die Nachricht auf die ich gewartet habe!!!

 

[aligborat69]

I did the trick with allowing it to update 10% and then instead of removing the power cable, i just held down the power button for 4 seconds until it turned off. Switched it back on and played the brickblocked version for about an hour and saved at the savepoint just where my ship was waiting for me. So far, beautiful game. Love the aiming and movement is spot on.

 

[Vater Unser]

I'm gonna play it with english text, but my little brother will be happy to have german text

 

[MADKATZ99]

hmmm.. not really into metroid, but it got pretty good reviews.. so there is no way to play it on PAL unless you want heaps of channels?

it only duplicates the Weather and News Channel...and there *is* a way to play the game without having them duplicated, just scroll up

 

[FoxMcClaud]

maybe i'm just stupid, but maybe it is possible to start the game if you already have a savegame of it on it!

Anyone that can send me a save to test it? Pal and NTSC!

Edit: Hey Vater Unser, hab grad 10 minuten auf deine signatur gestarrt, ist macht das ding zufällig neue hintergründe?
