you really should have checked about regions first man, sorry, your putting a square peg in a round hole, a modchip will make the hole what you want it to be and if you've got the know how, YOU LIVE IN AUSTRALIA: Where Modders Live Free!

Wii games are religion locked and you purchased a game from outside of your console's region, it wont work.

Try researching yourself: Google, yahoo, whatever.

Call your local modchip store and ask about them. Unless you have experience with soldering wires to PCBs with small gaps between traces you're not going to want to do it yourself.

Just buy a local copy of the game and mark it down as a learning experience.

If you have a modchip and HBC (homebrew channel), you can download GeckoOS which temporarily run the game as another region. It can also make it skip the update from the disc I think.
