*** '''Each page''': Specify vertex (/shape/mesh), texture formats
*** Outline for each page
**** Summary of the format
**** Description of structure
**** Where is it used
**** What makes it unique
** Database
*** Wii, RFL_DB.dat, [https://github.com/SMGCommunity/Petari/blob/f2841a104b74bafa67e10dac857ca96dd5f779b5/libs/RVLFaceLib/include/RFLi_Database.h#L12 RFLiDatabase] / official, (hidden?????)

*** Switch, nn::mii::detail::DatabaseFile ([https://github.com/Genwald/MiiPort/blob/4ee38bbb8aa68a2365e9c48d59d7709f760f9b5d/include/mii_ext.h#L153 NFDB]), nn::mii::detail::ImportFile ([https://github.com/Genwald/MiiPort/blob/4ee38bbb8aa68a2365e9c48d59d7709f760f9b5d/include/mii_ext.h#L161 NFIF]) - as for filename, mii_DatabaseFileManager.cpp has "mii:/MiiDatabase.dat", but NFIF is maybe for dev units only? (see settings) <nowiki>https://youtu.\be/f7cl7u0V15M?t=431</nowiki>
**** no hidden database here (but theres mii_PrivateDatabase.cpp). NFIF is signed with a hmac key, its not in windows version
*** (what do we say for: mii studio web, miitomo??, )
* Mii Character Data
** CharInfo
** Core/Char Data
*** remember core isnt pointless, nn::mii::CoreData for miitomo and NFIF, then CFL/FFL/RFL core data (called CharDataHidden in rfl) is FOR HIDDEN DB
** StoreData
** [[CreateID/Mii ID|Create ID/Mii ID]]
*** Wii/DS
***	3DS/Wii U
*** Switch
** Special Properties
*** MiiVersion, BirthPlatform: detail 3ds qr code anomaly, wiiu mpf face anomaly, how birth platform is set, ffl ds platform bug, future values from ctr sdk
*** NgWord, FontRegion: effects on each platform; see getadditionalinfo funcs, nnmii name funcs and character set tables
*** LocalOnly, RegionMove, Favorite: why is favorite a thing again? (get from RFL alpha spec)
*** AuthorId: also "UserID" in func names, it's from transferable id on 3ds/wiiu
*** BirthMonth, BirthDay: detail verification of this
** Special Miis/"Gold Pants"
*** TODO: what they are, create id flag, restrict localOnly, create id platform
** Data Verification
** Random Data
* [[Color Tables]]
** Wii/DS (RFL Colors/Ver3 Indices)
** 3DS/Wii U (Ver3 Colors)
** Switch ([[Common Color Table|Common Colors]])
** Gamma Mode (sRGB or Linear)
* Rendering

*** [[Faceline]] Texture
*** [[Mask]] Texture
*** Shape Textures
** Shape Transform/Positioning (also mention model scale, PartsTransform)
** Facial Expressions
** Shaders
*** Wii/DS/3DS Do Not Use Shaders
**** Wii TEV
**** (TODO: find tev settings for icon, "drawLikeNigaoeChannel", see env.dat in dvdroot for RVLFaceLib samples)
*** SampleShader.bcsdr (3DS) todo only in Tomodachi Life
*** FFLDefaultShader.gsh (Wii U)
*** LUT.vsh/fsh (Miitomo)
*** SampleShader.bnsh (Switch)
*** '''Outline'''
****  Description, lighting effect, previews?
**** Uniforms/attributes and descriptions
** Hair Variants/Using Headwear
** Body Scaling
* Database
** Official/Table/Front Database
** Hidden/Back Database (TODO: CFLiRecentDBFile as well?)
** Default Database, Random Database (not real dbs)
** '''TODO: where does wii remote database (search RFLiCtrlBuf in decomp) fit into this?'''
* Face Library
** Wii: [[Revolution Face Library|RFL/RVLFaceLib]]
** 3DS: [[Centrair Face Library|CFL (CTR/Centrair Face Library)]]
** Wii U: [[Cafe Face Library|FFL (Cafe Face Library)]] / [[Arch Face Library|Miitomo AFL (Arch Face Library)]]
** Switch: [[Nn::mii|nn::mii (NX/NintendoSDK Face Library)]]
** Unity: [[Un.mii|un.mii(?????)]]
** '''Concepts'''
*** CharInfo + Character Data
*** CharModel -> Scale, Coordinate
*** Icon (RFL, CFL, FFL, nn::mii), FFLIconWithBody/nn::mii::IconBody, nn::mii::VariableIconBody
*** WiFiInformation (RFL) / NetPacket (CFL, FFL)
*** Expression Flag
*** FFLShaderCallback, FFLExpand
*** Special Mii Key (FFL, AFL, nn::mii)?????
* Reverse Engineering Resources
** TODO: this is where to link binaries with FFL symbols (MiiPlugin.rpl), libcocos2dcpp.s o, where to get nn::mii internals that's not from the NintendoSDK lol, maybe 3ds horizon os leak
* TODO categorize these
** Wii U Mii Maker/Mii Studio Internals: ffl_application, FFLUtility, debugutility, Viewer, miiviewer, MiiCapture (HUGE TODO)
** TODO: CFLUtility? havent gotten it to work on my 3ds, probably built from mii maker code as well
** Title: [[Miitomo]]
*** TODO: AFL/nn::mii and shaders, mii_data structure, headwear type enum, powervr pod format, api xor obfuscation, mii json structure + qr codes, limited info we know about nuance voice,
** Title: Tomodachi Life/Tomodachi Collection: New Life (TODO)
** (Face Library?) Mii Icon Servers? - NNAS, Nintendo Account 1.0.0, NA 2.0.0/studio
*** NNAS renderer - input (only crc and smth else validated), xml output, png and tga, wii u local renders
**** theory of how this works. FFL has SwapEndian methods probably for x86. is this cafe sdk (32-bit g3d) on windows?
*** Nintendo Account 1.0.0 - same as above but params from npf
*** Nintendo Account 2.0.0, [[Mii Studio (nintendo.com)|studio.mii.nintendo com]] web API
**** na 2.0.0 has miitomo shader+culling, used to show miitomo clothing, mii studio nnid bear suit (find my screenshot)
**** mii studio api: data format + obfs, params... probs more
* How do I...
** Decode and encode Mii data?
** Verify Mii data?
** Render Mii data to an icon?
* Questions/Troubleshooting(?) 
** What kind of Mii data do I have?
** Why isn't my Mii data valid on a console?
* Recommendations from Arian
** Use Accurate Structures
** Cite Sources
** Don't Guess, Use Decomps
** Converting Resource Shapes/Textures
** Do NOT Invent Custom Formats for Miis
*** just append at the end of an existing format
*** ffsd is most universal, nn mii coredata can be used if a compact format is needed + use magic signature to be detectable
** Good References
*** TODO: stuff like decomps, MiiPort
** Suboptimal References
*** TODO: mii-js, mii2studio.py, kaitais?

where should the wiki be

* MediaWiki?
** i quite like this so far -j0
* GitHub WIki?
* DokuWiki?
