Ok guys, ordered my free loader and copy of Brawl on Monday. I look forward to going online against fellow Aussies when I get it.

 

[gpoleweski]

Hehe...It shall be an ALL OUT BRAWL!!!!

 

[Deanis]

Ach, my Freeloader still hasnt turned up...hopefully 2morro...

Although i did come home to Smash so that was nice...

I have the ISO of Freeloader downloaded.... any chance itll run on my wii on a burnt DVD?

 

[killik119]

What's an ISO? Is it vital to playing Brawl?!

YES! ALLRIIIIGHT!!! Little excited now.

Lol, I actually tried that out of boredom. The answer is a definetly not.

Anyway, here are the instructions to using Freeloader for Brawl:
Put the freeloader in and wait for the blurry lines to go left and right twice
Take out Freeloader
DO IT AGAIN
Take out Freeloader
Put in Brawl
Wait for a few seconds
Go to Disc Channel (It won't show Brawl image yet)
It'll say it wants to update, ACCEPT, It won't install firmware
Reset the Wii (I found it made the game work better)

Then from then on, you only need to put the freeloader in once, wait for squiggly lines to go left and right twice then put in Brawl

But for every new game you need to put Freeloader in twice

THE END

Thanks, that's really helpful. How do you turn off normal updates?

 

[gpoleweski]

In the wii settings I thought...and just with those 2 last instructions...sO you accept the update, but it won't brick it?

It only updates the files needed to play the game, it doesn't install firmware.
The instructions are in teh Freeloader case but it doesn't really tell you that you need to do it before Brawl or anything

Thank you nbkswe5, quite helpful information there. Can't wait till I have Brawl in my hands!

For all the people interested, go to the Aussie Brawl thread I made. We'll organize some Aussie Brawls!
