When I customized the mii (through XML on my Mac) there was a option to force favorite, I set that to false... I wonder what would happen if I set it to true..? Ill get back to you on that here... Im going to go test it on Nintendoland if I can get it a Favorite.
You can't force favorite a mii, the favorites are handled by the console. Only Special (gold), copies (blue), and normal (black) can be forced. And I think the 3DS/WiiU has something against gold (3ds does, I'm not 100% sure about WiiU).
'Where's the Mii file? I would like to have it as I currently am not using something with flash support (for My Avatar Editor).One thing I must point out is that NO ONE SHOULD UPLOAD/USE THIS MII IN MIIVERSE!
And I wouldn't worry about keeping this super secret. I doubt this can be used to hack the WiiU, and if it actually works for the Wii Mini (doubt), then it's cool, because Nintendo can't update the current Wii Mini's and I doubt they'll bother to fix the next ones (since it's not the best product, it's a generation old, they've already kinda given up, etc).
