lets say your wii is a modded japan NTSC/J console with 3.3J firmware.

If you pop in a NTSC/US Wii Music, it will ask you to update your system

If update, Wii = Bricked or Semi-Bricked

If don't update, can't play


Or you can bypass the update using HBC, hence playable without updates.

how to install HBC? go ask uncle google

too sensitive to talk about HBC here, some equal HBC = Piracy

I personally uses HBC to watch RMVB videos

HBC is possible on non modded console using twilight hack

free loader for Wii? Stupid ninty already render it useless after firmware updates
