Gaming wii update?????? on pal?

[Fabio_figo71]

I'd like to ask a question to whom installed the update successfully. Did you set the "screen protection" option to "off"?

 

[nWorulezzz]

I have updated to 2.1E online and the game still wants to do a system update when i try to start the game.

Why does the game want do an update, if the wii is uptodate?

Why does the game want do an update, if the wii is uptodate?

A very good question... The only thing ive been able to come up with is that it might be a game specific update required just for Paper Mario (and it doesnt update the general system). Or it could be that the game checks if you have the 2.1 NTSC version of the firmware and since PAL machines wont have that even on 2.1E it decides to update to the same version.

The only fact i can give is that others have tried updating to 2.1E online before putting the game in and they were also forced to update.

Ive tried with connect24 both enabled and disabled, update required in both cases. Also swicthed off my wireless AP so it has no way of going online. Same result.

could you try copy the opera browser to SD (backup) remove the SD and delete the opera from the wii system and restart the system see that work?..(disabled connect24)

Worked fine for me, Mine was up to date before I popped Mario into the drive, It wanted to do an update anyways but all is still well after a restart

If you bricked your wii, your screen looks like this:

Another guy is getting:
marc: EU/EU/ITA/SETUP/ScreenSave.html

This tells us that the wii is missing something that is needed and that it is region based (not only PAL/NTSC) since its looking for a ITA folder (which should mean italy localized version of the file)

I wonder what kind of html file the Wii tries to access on startup?

maybe it's the safety warning that pops up everytime you boot up the system...

all people who succesfully updated their Wii should post all of their settings and the firmware version they had before updating...especially the Screensaver settings (obviously), WiiConnect24/standby settings, wether or not they had Opera installed and so on...

someone said he didn't have Opera installed, maybe that's why the page couldn't be displayed? (the Opera browser is probably the only "update" that comes with html files...)

is there anyone (with a PAL Wii) who didn't have Opera installed and updated successfully?

 

[squirt1000]

Yes my wii is online, Is there a pal game that has the update on it that can be run before SPM?

 

[pipesfranco]

so to get this straight those who get that error message now have bricked wiis i.e. wont boot after turning it off.

what exactly is the bricked wii doing?

 

[gottysports]

doing nothing ie a expensive paper weight ie BRICKED

 

[pipesfranco]

doing nothing ie a expensive paper weight ie BRICKED

so you turn it back on and it just doesnt click it stays a black screen?

is this what has actually happened to anyones wii?

 

[jaxxster]

i think u need 2.1E and to have your wii online before updating

it is most likely the message 'you can set screensaver options in the wii settings' that shows up after updating. im sure it's missing in the NTSC update. At least "EU/EU/ENG/Setup/ScreenSave.html" "EU/EU/ITA/Setup/ScreenSave.html" etc. files, there probably is one US/US/ENG/Setup/ScreenSave.html or whatever it would be named

I've been trying to gather info on this all day and in short i can sum it up to a few undeniable facts:

NTSC consoles updated with latest firmware prior to running the game WILL NOT be promted to update with the update on the disc.
PAL consoles updated with latest firmware prior to running the game WILL be promted to update with the update on the disc.

Both wiikey and cyclowiiz users have reported bricking on PAL machines. Users of both chips has also updated succesfully and can play the game.

Noone has reported bricking if they have the latest firmware and connection to Internet prior to running the update on the disc.



And finally I still seem to be the only one who gets "Wii system update failed" when updating with the disc. (first tried with 2.0E and then updated to 2.1E online but the update on the disc still gives the error). My problem is most likely related to bad burn/faulty media but im not going to burn more copies and try again until i know for sure i'm not going to brick my Wii.

This is truly one scary issue. You never know if the next game released will do the exact same thing. I guess, the safest thing to do is ... to only get images from your own region. I'm definately never ever going to try playing a PAL game.

Mine is a USA NTSC unit with 2.0U version. I just tried to update it in options menu but it said the version I have is the latest?
