Here is some info on the Mii data that is found in the wii-mote. There are 2 blocks of Mii Data, but we're not sure if it alternates between the two, or if it uses both. The data is a hash, so it's not as simple as changing the hex bits to change the look of your Mii. There is a way to update the CRC on the data and it's being investigated now. Here is some Mii Data from the WiiBrew Wiki thanks to Marcan and other hackers on IRC EFnet #wiidev:
Block format
Each block begins with a four-byte magic number / ID code 'RNCD'. Six unknown bytes (mostly zeroes) follow. Then follow the individual Mii data blocks. The last two bytes of the block are a CRC-16 CCITT of the previous 750 bytes (polynomial 0x1021, starting value 0x0000). C code to update CRC
Mii format
Strings are apparently stored in Unicode format (UTF-16), big-endian. Each Mii is 0x4a bytes:
- 2 unknown bytes (sometimes zeroes)
- 10 wide chars Mii Name (zero padded, non-terminated) (20 bytes)
- 32 bytes Mii settings and info (not yet figured out)
- 10 wide chars Mii creator (20 bytes)
You can test these codes using
Simple HID Write. It's some sample program for Delphi programmers, but until someone else writes a more specific app for doing this stuff, it works. You can download it from
here if you want to check out what your Wiimote's Mii data looks like.
To read Mii Data block 1:
Report ID: 17
Command: 00 0F CA 02 EF
To read Mii Data block 2:
Report ID: 17
Command: 00 12 BA 02 EF
Info for writing the data block is here:
http://www.ch0p.com/wiiki/index.php?title=Wiimote#Reading_and_WritingCan someone put together a quick app that will read and write data from the wiimote mii data storage to a file on the computer? Big Red Pimp posted
this Wii-Mote Test app which is close, but still does not fully support Mii Data.
Next step: figure out how to rewrite the hash to make our own mii with the info here, but this comes much later, for now it would be neat to be able to trade mii data block with other wii hackers as an easy way to bus multiple wii's around to other wii consoles without messing with friend codes and emails.
UPDATE:
WDML Has cracked a good chunk of the
Mii Data format off the Wii-Mote

MiiTransfer is a small application for reading and writing data to the internal memory of the wiimote. Using this app you can easily transfer mii's from your wiimote to your pc, and back to your Wii.
