The algorithm used to verify the integrity of the database is based on [http://srecord.sourceforge.net/crc16-ccitt.html CRC16-CCITT], though it's an incorrect implementation. It is the same algorithm used to verify [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Mii_Data#Block_format Mii Data on the Wii].

To obtain the correct value for the checksum, apply the algorithm to the first 0xC81E bytes of the database. This can be done using [https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-give-your-mii-gold-pants-and-use-it-for-streetpass.379146/page-24#post-6569186 FixCRC]; alternativly a pseudocode implementation of the checksum algorithm is given below:
