Shouldnt 4 be No. The Wiikey doesnt stop him from playing NTSC. More to the point its going to allow him to play more than what he can at the moment?

Yes my "magic dust" is currently falling with Galaxy and Lego Star Wars in it. As I said to Phat before, My magic dust also finished a couple of days ago with Manhunt 2. Pretty full on!

I just got Simpsons yesterday and EA Playground last night, haven't played EA Playground yet. I think Simpsons is terrible however. Terrible graphics (I'm use to bad) and crap movements. I didn't realise Lego was out, might have to look for that one. I'm really looking forward to the Indy Lego.

Um, yes. Mainly the console update. There's only been 1 wiikey firmware update fairly recently (well, two if you count the minor update to play Mario Galaxy). So far, no problems have been found with keeping your Wii upto date with the latest updates.

Oh crap, I didn't see this thread until just now. (How it said not to insert the Config disc or a NTSC game disc)

My Wii is already 3.1E, and I've played half an hour of Ghost Squad (NTSC-J version). However, my Wii is temporarily not connected to the internet (because ADSL2+ is being installed for us).

Will I be fine? Or will I be screwed?

Yeah. There's no problem with not being connected to the internet. Wow, where did that weird question come from?

Sorry, I read on the first page of this thread not to update to 3.0
And if you did update to 3.0, not to insert your config disc or a ntsc game disc in.

So I freaked out.

My Wii was connected to the internet previously, but 2 weeks ago we disconnected the service with the old ISP. We still haven't got the new broadband yet (thus, no wireless internet yet) ... and I've played Ghost Squad (NTSC-J) on my Wii today.

That's why I made the post above. Because I played a NTSCJ game on my Wii (3.1E) when apparently I wasn't supposed to.

But according to MrMorden and phatbass82, they say that I'm fine. So yea ... *whew* ...

However, after I'm connected back to the internet ... I'm not supposed to play NTSC games anymore hey? Seeing that my Wii is a 3.1E and mine has a Wiikey in it ...

Nah you can play NTSC games fine as long as they are compatible. I just got Star Wars Lego today and that is NTSC.

What about the talk from ozmodchips that because firmware 3.0 (and I'm presuming 3.1 as well) can detect when we insert a config disc, or when we insert a ntsc game into our pal machines ...

And that our Wiis could get "red-flagged", which could result in Nintendo banning our systems from playing online?

Was that disproven?

Played EA Playground today. It's quite good if people are looking at "getting" it.

Not all NTSC are fine... As Morden said, however look here - wiki.gbatemp.net/

I don't know what is on OzModChips about that however I am 3.1E with the 1.9g and it's still fine.

Totally fine. Up to 66 stars now - thats after two goes at it so it shows how addictive it is - Runs well.

Much like SM64... Oh just one more star.... three later.... oh one more.

Hahahahah!

I think I'm just gonna wait until the PAL version is released.
I'm really worried about stopping the update before 15% (by pulling the power plug?) and the duplicate channels etc ...

Can't wait to start playing it. I know how addictive Super Paper Mario was. I finished it so quickly!!

I don't care about the dup channels. I did the stop at 15% for MP3 and it worked fine. I did let it go for a bit longer, like 20% on MP3 and I only got the dup Weather, but I didn't worry about it for SMG.

I realize that doesn't make much sense. I was meant to stop it at 15% but I let it go longer for some stupid reason. It doesn't tell you when it's 15% either so get a ruler or something if you don't want to guess.

If you find SPM addictive, IMO you aren't going to leave home until you beat SMG.

You don't have to pull plug, just switch off at wall.
