The Mii Channel is a proprietary avatar creator created by Nintendo. It is designed to "put yourself into the game" by allowing Miis to play in certain titles. For those titles that support Miis, each Mii can be used in that title (e.g.: Wii Sports, pick a Mii and play as it).

This application was officially unveiled by Nintendo in September 2006. Users can select from pre-made caricatures or create their own by choosing custom facial shapes, colors, and positioning. Miis can interact with other Wii users by showing up on their Wii consoles through the WiiConnect24 feature or by talking with other Miis created by Wii owners all over the world. This feature is called the Mii Parade. Early-created Miis as well as those encountered in Mii Parades may show up as spectators in some games.

Miis can be stored on Wiimotes and taken to other Wii consoles. The Wiimote can hold up to a maximum amount of 10 Miis. The Wii itself can hold 100 Miis. There is also a way to send your Mii to a Nintendo 3DS, by having both systems connected to the same network and in the channel, holding the buttons A, B, and 1 in that order, then pressing and holding the 2 button, and clicking the DS icon on the right.

r13 globals

These globals came from v6 of the non-Korean Mii Channel. glob_XXXX refers to -XXXX(r13), where r13 is initialized as 0x803c4520.

  • glob_6a10 is the OSInterrupt table.
  • glob_6ab0 holds whether the apploader/NAND Boot Program is for RVL or not. It does not seem to be set anywhere, and does not line up with the equivalent global in the NAND Boot Program (glob_7ce8), however, setting it to 0 results in a crash, so it is probably being set to 1 in an unknown location.
  • glob_759c is the IPC heap ID.

SDK libraries

These libraries were taken from v6.
