'''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. | '''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.
