I'm assuming you have a modchip installed in your Wii to enable you to play burned games. PAL is actually a Video standard, but let keep things simple and just say that it indicates the Region of the Wii. So PAL Wii are ones that are sold in Europe, NTSC-U Wii are ones sold in USA/Canada and NTSC-J are ones sold in Japan. So if your Wii is PAL and you have a PAL game then there is no harm in updating, but if your Wii is NTSC and your game is PAL then DO NOT update as it will brick your Wii. You can use a tool such as wiu1.1 to remove the update from the iso before burning it.
