The games will load as usual but you can't change any settings." Rock Band, is NTSC-U/C and my Wii's NTSC-J . Meaning, the Wii's from Japan and it's not in the same region as the Rock Band game [Hence U.S.A] When popping in the Rock Band disc, my Wii tried to update its firmware from it. Rock Band's update is 3.3, sadly my Japanese Wii isn't, and therefore the game/ update semi-bricked my Wii. I tried Freeloader [Jpn] it doesn't work, Rock Band has the update of 3.3. Freeloader doesn't work with games that have updates with 3.3. When I popped Rock Band into my Wii, I got a blank screen too. Since 3.3 is the last update, I'd have to wait until Japan gets a different update. I've asked around, people told me to wait about 2 months? >.<;; To Jim:

System updates from another region is just plain evil. :( I think you need a system update — but then again, that could damage your Wii. System updates from another region is just plain evil. :(
