docs: port to VitePress Things that happen in this shameless squash: - Removed 404 page - It doesn't work in VitePress and making it work in VitePress needs some invasive hack in the theme that I'm not willing to do - The default is more than enough, though - Moved consoleVersionSelect include to another directory - This avoids being uploaded to Crowdin for translation - Inline all SafeB9SInstaller includes - Not only do parameterized includes not work, but if/else statements don't work at all - The sysupdate include parameter hasn't been used since MSET9, so it actually works just fine without any parameters. Hooray(?) - Move mset9-chorus to an include, that logic doesn't work in VitePress - Removed Get Started button from homepage, it breaks translations - Tables in get-started are now shown by default; it seems VitePress really does not want us to use inline script. So we cannot enable it upon realizing that the browser is JS capable - Include parameters are now in frontmatter to allow translation - Hacked in a bunch of CSS values kanged from the old theme to make it look not stupid - Drop headers down one level to make table of contents work

This is an add-on section for formatting an SD card to work with the 3DS.
If the 3DS already recognizes the SD card, this guide is not required.
This page is for Windows users only. If you are not on Windows, check out the [Formatting SD (Linux)](formatting-sd-(linux)) or [Formatting SD (Mac)](formatting-sd-(mac)) pages.
