if mii internals was github wiki (arian notes)

  • Structures/Data Formats
    • Character Data
    • CRC-16 Checksum
      • TODO: CRC-16/CCITT/XMODEM, use in char data formats, databases, example calc functions
    • Resource Archive
    • Database
      • Wii, RFL_DB.dat, RFLiDatabase / official, (hidden?????)

        • (NOT FCL_DB.dat for clothing or stadio.sav for studio save)
      • Switch, nn::mii::detail::DatabaseFile (NFDB), nn::mii::detail::ImportFile (NFIF) - as for filename, mii_DatabaseFileManager.cpp has "mii:/MiiDatabase.dat", but NFIF is maybe for dev units only? (see settings) https://youtu.\be/f7cl7u0V15M?t=431

  • Mii Character Data
    • CharInfo

      • LocalOnly, RegionMove, Favorite: why is favorite a thing again? (get from RFL alpha spec)

    • Default Database, Random Database (not real dbs)
    • TODO: where does wii remote database (search RFLiCtrlBuf in decomp) fit into this?
  • Face Library
  • 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 2.0.0, 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?
