Mii Mining is the name for one of two processes that allows you to find a console's movable.sed 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.
 |
If BruteforceMovable fails with the error We were unable to successfully complete your bruteforce request. :`(, this method will also not work. Read this section of the main page for more information. |
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 mining with them 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 py -3 with python3 for all commands.
What you need
Section I - Prep Work
In this section, you will set up Seedminer and obtain your console's files that are needed for mining.
- Extract the contents of the Seedminer
.zipand move the folder inside it that matches your OS anywhere on your PC - this Seedminer folder will be where multiple other files are placed - In the Seedminer folder, hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the folder's empty space, then click the option that opens a terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt
- In the opened window, type
py -3 -mpip install pycryptodomex- once it's done installing, keep the window open as you will need it later - Turn your console on while the SD card is inside it
- Open the Mii Maker app
- Tap the QR Code/Image Options button.
- Tap Save Mii as QR Code.
- Select any Mii Character (make a new one first if you don't have any), and press OK.
- Turn the console off
- Put the console's SD card into your computer, navigate to the
Nintendo 3DSfolder on the SD, and copy the name of the 32-character-long folder directly inside- This folder, known as the ID0, is system-specific. Only one should be present - if you see multiple, follow these instructions.
- Once you have the ID0, paste it into a document to reference later
- Navigate to the
DCIMfolder on the SD - Look for the QR Code, which will be a
.JPGfile- 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
Section II - Processing Mii QR and Mining
In this section, you will turn the Mii QR code into a usable file and mine movable.sed with it.
- Open the editMii website on your computer
- Click on "Import from...", then select "QR Code" and upload the Mii QR you copied to a safe place earlier
- Click on "Export to...", then select "encrypted (.bin)", this will download a file named
input.bin - Copy this
input.binto the Seedminer folder - Open the terminal/PowerShell/Command Prompt window from earlier
- Inside this window, enter the command
py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py id0 <id0>- Replace
<id0>with the ID0 you copied into a document
- Replace
- Once it completes, enter the command
py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py mii <model> <year>- Replace
<model>with the model of your console (neworold) - Replace
<year>with the year the 3DS was made (you often find this on the backplate) - leave this empty if you aren't sure, and it will start from the middle - If this fails with an error of
input.bin is invalid size, remake theinput.binusing your QR Code. If it still fails, open a different browser and remake theinput.binthere. - The mining process will usually take up to 90 minutes, depending on luck and your GPU's strength
- Replace
- When it finishes, a file called
movable.sedwill appear in the Seedminer folder - use this in place of one obtained from BruteforceMovable
