When you burn Wii/GC games, do you always apply the BrickBlocker?

Simple topic. I've just installed my Wiikey today and will begin to burn games tomorrow. I know you simply burn the ISO at a low speed, about 4x. But do you always apply the WiiBrickBlocker?

If I have the newest firmware version 3.0U would I automatically be protected from any game? I know Mario Chargers and Super Paper Mario had problems based on my search. Do you just keep track of what games have this auto-update feature or just BrickBlock every iso you burn? Thanks!

It's only needed for new foreign titles.

It wouldn't hurt. Unless there are negative consequences I'm not aware of.

There wouldn't be any, but if the game is from your console's region then the update is harmless.

There is no point applying brick blocker to GC games whatsoever.

makes no difference.

i have another question, similar to this one. I also have the newest (european) firmware version 3.0E. However, i am not automatically protected from any game. when i try to play a PAL game, even if it's old, it will tell me it wants to install an update. i'm not going to try that, so i can't play the games. do you guys know what it is and what i can do about it?

Aren't PAL games the European version? Because if it is in your format, there is no worry about doing the auto-update.

Regardless of the above statement, I do know this about the updates:
If you apply the brick blocker and burn the game, and the game doesn't boot properly, you must update.

Atleast that's how it went with Metroid Prime 3 for me on my native format of NTSC. I still applied the brick blocker, but it wouldn't load... I guess it had some sort of mini-update. I reburnt w/o the blocker, updated, and all was well... but once again, this was in my native NTSC format.
