Client ID MAC Address Prefix Index - Vega - 07-16-2018
Client ID MAC Address Prefix Index
The Client ID is a 4 byte hexadecimal string that the Wii uses to prevent you from editing Miis you didn't create. Here's an example Client ID -
C2 54 0A FF
The 54 0A FF part are the last 3 bytes of the MAC Address of the Wii for the Mii which is was created on. The C2 is a checksum8 calculation of the first 3 bytes of the MAC Address (MAC Address prefix). Even if you 'reverse engineer' the calculation, you can only known the sum of the first 3 bytes. However, I went and made a Mii using each official Nintendo MAC address prefix. Using Aldelaro5's RAM Viewer I simply viewed the 1st byte of every client ID of every Mii. Obviously I named the Mii's accordingly. So I knew which MAC address prefix was being used. After a little bit of tedious work, I was able to get the Client ID's for every official Nintendo MAC Address prefix.

Using the list/index above, you now know that client ID - C2 54 0A FF is Wii MAC Address 00-17-AB-54-0A-FF. I would say about 95% of the time, mkwii players make Miis on their own Wii/Dolphin. So once you figure out the MAC of the Mii, you basically have the Mii creator's Wii MAC Address. There are a variety of ways to get people's Client ID's. The most common way is to download a TT ghost from CTGP or ninrankings.org. Then use Atlas's RKG Viewer program to extract the Mii data. Use MyAvatarEditor or a Hex Editor to view the Client ID, then you are good to go.
You will notice some client ID's can be for two different MAC prefixes. Unfortunately, there's no way to know which one of the two it exactly is.
FAQ:
Hey Vega, I found a Client ID off of a Mii that is not on the list, what does that mean?
That means 3 things:
The Mii was made on MyAvatarEditor/Hex Editor with a custom Client ID
The Mii was edited on MyAvatarEditor/Hex Editor with a custom Client ID
The Mii was made on Dolphin with the user editing the MAC Address field to a custom MAC Address on his Dolphin.ini config settings
If you post this list somewhere else, please credit me. Thanks.
