I got this from BC but a different releaser just a single person not a release group. But it wants to update my PAL wii which is v3.1E. Does this isosphere version also contains an update and is there a risk of bricking?


Anyone?
Looks like it has the same update as Mario Galaxy... Guess it needs to be brickblocked in order to remove the update.

However I forgot to brickblock, updated and now have duplicate channels... If anyone has an idea how to remove them let me know...

It's been confirmed that if you've updated to firmware version 3.1, whatever your region, it won't ask for the update, and the game doesn't need to be brickblocked or regionfii'd

It only needs brickblocking if you don't already run the latest firmware on your Wii. Failure to do this on a PAL Wii could result in a semi-brick (duplicate Wii channels).

I was on latest FW 3.1E and still the game wanted to update!

Just a note that the Wii version of GHIII only outputs mono sound >_<

Surround sound =/= Stereo

You scared the shit out of me. Without Stereo, I would stop the download right now.

Read his links again. Carefully, including the comments. Stereo is missing too.
Hopefully (well, I personally don't care for GH

) they will fix it through an online patch.

I just tried it, and it does require regionfrii and brick blocker. Works like a treat afterwards!

Played first song, then jumped straight online and got beaten easy, but it was really fun, even though I killed my arms/hands with the wiimote!

Knight of Cydonia on the Wiimote is crazy!!

now this is frickin' crazy:

my system:

pal wii
firmware 3.1e
wiikey with firmware 1.9g

NONE of those newer games seem to work.

i tried super mario galaxy: burned with regionfrii --> game says it wants to update - i let him do this and disconnect power at ~15%. then i put in the brickblocked one - and it doesn't recognize the disc.

some procedure with guitar hero 3 - does EXACTLY the same. it simply doesn't recognize the discs

A little bit of an exaggeration. You do get stereo sound. However, in coop mode, you're supposed to I guess get the one player's sounds from one speaker and the other player's from the other, and that doesn't seem to be working properly.

If you set the Wii to stereo though, it does give stereo sound.

They say that the sound is actually just mono sound that's going through two speakers, rather than true stereo sound. Also, the manual says of the options to change the sound setting, but it's no where to be seen in the game. I think what they messed up is not having the setting there, and defaulting to mono sound.

So the game works. Can anyone confirm whether the guitar will work WITHOUT updating the wii with Guitar Hero 3? I.e. If the iso is brickblocked. I ask this because apparently the mic does work with Boogie unless the wii is updated with the Boogie disk.

For those who have the duplicate channels, did you try metroid prime 3 before hand? I already got duplicate channels when I played metroid prime 3. Just wanna know if I will be getting another 2.
