'''Mii Mining''' is the name for one of two processes that allows you to find a console's <code>movable.sed</code> without the help of an outside resource. This method should only be used if both BFM and Manual Mining are confirmed unable to work, as it is significantly more time-consuming.

==Requirements==

*A computer with a dedicated GPU (graphics card) that is running Windows, macOS, or Linux.

**Integrated graphics are too underpowered for this method, and may take upwards of a day. Both this guide and our Discord server cannot help with any issues caused by using them.

If you are on Linux, replace <code>py -3</code> with <code>python3</code> for all commands.

===What you need===

*The latest release of [https://github.com/zoogie/seedminer/releases/latest Seedminer] (the Seedminer .zip)

*Any 3.x version of [https://www.python.org/downloads/ python].

*Any 3.x version of [https://www.python.org/downloads/ python] installed

#*Once you have the ID0, paste it into a document to reference later

#Navigate to the <code>DCIM</code> folder on the SD

#Look for the QR Code, which will be a <code>.~~jpg~~</code> file

#Look for the QR Code, which will be a <code>.JPG</code> file

#*You may have many other files in here already if you use the Nintendo 3DS Camera app

#Copy this file to the Seedminer folder on your PC

#Once it completes, enter the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py mii <model> <year></code>

#*Replace <code><model></code> with the model of your device (<code>new</code> or <code>old</code>)

#*Replace <code><year></code> with the year the 3DS was made (you often find this on the backplate) - ~~input an estimate instead if~~ you don't know the ~~answer~~

#*Replace <code><year></code> with the year the 3DS was made (you often find this on the backplate) - leave this empty when you don't know exactly, and it will start from the middle

#*If this fails with an error of <code>input.bin is invalid size</code>, ~~open a Chromium browser such as Google Chrome or Edge and~~ remake <code>input.bin</code> ~~in the new browser~~

#*If this fails with an error of <code>input.bin is invalid size</code>, remake the <code>input.bin</code> using your QR Code

#*The mining process will usually take up to 90 minutes, depending on luck and your GPU's strength

#When it finishes, a file called <code>movable.sed</code> will appear in the Seedminer folder - use this in place of one obtained from BruteforceMovable
