How to Use a Wii BrickBlocker

Wii BrickBlocker is a small software-patching program that can be used to patch game data so as to bypass the Wii's software-update function. This is necessary because many games contain data that forces a system update, and if your Wii has been modified to play home-brew (amateur-created) software, this update can damage your system's functionality. Wii BrickBlocker creates a new version of the game data with dummy code in place of this system update, allowing you to use games without updating your Wii.
