Donkey Kong Jet Racer on USA Wii, no brick...

[nxumdon]

Hi
So I just let Donkey Kong Jet Racer (NTSC-J) update my NTSC-U console which was running 2.2U and it did its thing and no problems, no brick. This was the game not patched with the brickblocker utility...just the straight import untouched.

I think that so long as the version number itself is the latest, you should be fine playing imports and allowing the updates, but this is just from my experience...I've let Mario Strikers and now Donkey Kong both do their updates (strikers is a PAL update, and Kong was a NTSC-J update) and both went fine.

I hope this helps anyone else. Cheers

Thanks for the heads up.

Perhaps I'm gonna give it a go also then...still hesitating after bricking my usa wii with Mario Striker though...also running 2.2U.

hrrrmmm...strange...after allowing this update to take place, and I really dont know if this is connected or not, but I'm now having my first problem playing a game ever...

I've got Super Mario Party 8 (PAL, unpatched) and I'm using the WABModCheap3.0. When I put in Mario Party 8, the game detects in the channel, but when I click start, it just goes to a black screen and hangs there, and the wiimote lights go dark. I've never had a problem with any imports thus far...I hope this is just a bad image or a WABModCheap problem...strikers is still working...

MP8 USA did the same when run on a PAL console.
Some other games also do the same so I think that's just a quirk about certain games that they can't be displayed on other region consoles.

To your trying unpatched games with an update....you are taking a hell of a chance.
Someone else posted they ran the US Big Brain Academy on their PAL console and bricked it although they were sure they were on 2.2E at the time.

This is where we don't know if there's actually a 2.21/2.22/2.23 etc (E/U/J) and it only displays to one decimal point.

Personally I'd backup the import title then run brick blocker on it.
