I’ve been looking at the code for sending Miis to the remote and I discovered it’s not as simple as receiving a Mii. You can request a single Mii, but you can’t send only a single Mii - you need to send the entire block of 10 Miis with the properly calculated CRC. That means [...]

I also added a troubleshooting section to the readme file. The major problem on G4 Macs (which is actually [...]

Several people informed me that Mii Transfer won’t launch on a PowerPC Mac. Since my G4 lacks Bluetooth, I’ve only tested it on Intel Macs. I’ll try to release a PPC fix in the next few days.

It’s available for download at http://www.mcdevzone.com/files/MiiTransferX.tgz.
