-===Copy Miis between Dolphin↔Wii or Dolphin↔Dolphin===
+===Mii Transfer Between Dolphin and Consoles===
 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 to Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and/or Nintendo Switch===

+====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.
-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 has been imported to the Wii U vWii, the Wii U ''Mii Maker'' can select "Import from Wii Menu".
+=====Softmod Methods Between Dolphin↔Wii U=====
+======Method 1:======
+*Prerequisites:
+**A softmodded vWii mode.
+**A Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus.
+**An SD card or a FAT32 USB stick.
+) Download ''[https://wiibrew.org/wiki/SaveGame_Manager_GX 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.<br>
+) 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''.<br>
+) Open the app's SD card file browser, find the exported .miigx file(s), and import it.<br>
+) 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 [https://new.reddit.com/r/WiiUHacks/comments/feqj3u/comment/fk09z17/ 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.
+) 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 ''[https://github.com/WiiDatabase/nusdownloader/releases NUSD Downloader]'', a Windows program.<br>
+) 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"''<br>
+) Go to Extras… → Open NUSD Directory → Titles → Find "00000018.app", and rename it to wuphaxBackup.app<br>
+) Download ''WupHax'', place it in /wiiu/apps (Not the usual /apps) on an SD card or a FAT32 USB stick.<br>
+) 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.<br>
+) 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.<br>
+) 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".
