Mii Channel

A Mii (ミー Mī) is a digital avatar used in the Nintendo Wii gaming console. They allow users to capture a likeness (or a caricature) of themselves and others. After creating one using the Wii's Mii Channel, they can be used as characters in Mii-oriented games such as Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Wii Play, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Mario Kart Wii and other titles.

Wii consoles can store up to 100 Miis, up to 10 of which can be favorites. The Wii Remote itself can hold up to 10 Miis on its internal memory, which can later be transferred to another Wii console. However, they can only be edited on the console on which they were created. In addition, Miis can also be exchanged via the WiiConnect24 service, whereby allowing a player's Miis to "mingle" will enable such Miis to appear on other people's Wii consoles.

Emulation Information
The Mii Channel supports transferring Miis to certain DS games, and to Nintendo 3DS' Mii Maker, although this feature is hidden by default (it can be activated by pressing A, then B , then 1 , and then holding 2 . (Source))

Copy Miis between Dolphin↔Wii or Dolphin↔Dolphin
Transferring Miis works only with real Wii Remotes. The time it takes to read/write the Miis on the Wii Remote can greatly vary depending of the Bluetooth adapter and stack used. Transferring Miis between Dolphin and physical Wiis is very easy this way.

Copy Miis from Dolphin via Wii to Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and/or Nintendo Switch
Transferring Dolphin Miis to later consoles is not so easy, due to Wii U's vWii Mii Channel lacking the import function (See the Differing Mii Channel versions (…) section below), and Dolphin not being able to send data (including Miis) to Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo DS. It's not impossible, however.

Once a Mii has been copied to a physical Wii, the official methods for transferring Miis to Nintendo 3DS or Wii U, and onwards to Nintendo Switch, apply.

Method 1:

 * Prerequisites:
 * A softmodded vWii mode.
 * A Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus.
 * An SD card or a FAT32 USB stick.

1) Download Savegame Manager GX, then run it in Dolphin through any method of your choice. Go to the torso icon in the upper left → Mii → export one or more Miis to the card/stick. This will result in a .miigx file. 2) Copy Savegame Manager GX's /apps/ folder to an SD card or USB stick, put the card/stick into the Wii U → enter Homebrew Channel in the Wii U's vWii mode → open Savegame Manager GX. 3) Open the app's SD card file browser, find the exported .miigx file(s), and import it. 4) The Mii will now show up in Mii Channel.

Alternately, Savegame Manager GX on both Dolphin and a softmodded Wii U, can be used to export and import .miigx files between each other. After importing the .miigx file into the Wii U vWii, the Wii U Mii Maker can select "Import from Wii Menu".

Method 2:
An additional optional option, thanks to BaamAlex on Reddit, which replaces vWii's limited Mii Channel with the Wii's Mii Channel:


 * Prerequisites:
 * A softmodded Wii U's main mode (Softmodded vWii won't be enough, and may or may not even be needed).
 * A Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus.
 * A Windows PC that isn't S Mode, and which has an internet connection.
 * An SD card or a FAT32 USB stick.

1) Get a copy of the standard version of Mii Channel in .app format. As of February 2024, the only known way to get Mii Channel in that file format is NUSD Downloader, a Windows program. 2) Open NUS Downloader on the PC, turn "Create Decrypted Contents (.app)" on, go to Database… → System → Mii Channel (Wii logo) → All → v6, and then "Start NUS Download" 3) Go to Extras… → Open NUSD Directory → Titles → Find "00000018.app", and rename it to wuphaxBackup.app 4) Download WupHax, place it in /wiiu/apps (Not the usual /apps) on an SD card or a FAT32 USB stick. 5) On a softmodded Wii U, enter The Homebrew Launcher (not to be confused with Homebrew Channel) through the method recommended by the method you softmodded the Wii U with. 6) In The Home Launcher, launch WupHax, and press B (Not A), which installs the standard Mii Channel, with all previous Miis (if any) from vWii still intact. 7) With "Mii Transfer" functionality restored, transfers can now be done from Dolphin → Wii Remote → Wii U, and Copy from Wii Menu is also intact.

Differing Mii Channel versions on Wii, Wii U, and Wii Mini, all with HACA GameID
In addition to the Mii Channel version that is by far the most common one used in Dolphin, let alone on physical Wii consoles, there is another version used on Wii Mini and vWii / Wii U that has the same GameID (HACA), but with several features absent, including "Transfer Mii", "Wii Friends", and "Wii Parade".

Problems
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|

Corrupted Mii Faces
The Mii Faces will miss some of their properties if Texture Cache Accuracy is not set to Safe. To fix, set it to Safe. Setting it to Medium also works, but the channel has to be reset once after it has started. Fixed by

White Floor
The floor where the Miis walk is completely white. Disable Fast Depth Calculation to fix this. This is no longer needed. Works also with Fast Depth Calculation enabled.

For Mii Channel, this primarily affects the Wii Friends option on the right bar.
