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

Formatting SD (Linux)

Required Reading

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 Linux users only. If you are not on Linux, check out the Formatting SD (Windows) or Formatting SD (Mac) pages.

Instructions

  1. Make sure your SD card is not inserted
  2. Launch the Linux Terminal
  3. Type watch "lsblk"
  4. Insert your SD card into your computer
  5. Observe the output. It should match something like this: 
    NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0     179:0    0   3,8G  0 disk
└─mmcblk0p1 179:1    0   3,7G  0 part /run/media/user/FFFF-FFFF
  6. Take note of the device name. In our example above, it was mmcblk0p1
    • If RO is set to 1, make sure the lock switch is not slid down
  7. Hit CTRL + C to exit the menu
  8. Type in the following for your SD card:
    • 2GB or lower: sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device name from above) -s 64 -F 16
      • This creates a single FAT16 partition with 32 KB cluster size on the SD card
    • 4GB - 128GB: sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device name from above) -s 64 -F 32
      • This creates a single FAT32 partition with 32 KB cluster size on the SD card
    • 128GB or higher: sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device name from above) -s 128 -F 32
      • This creates a single FAT32 partition with 64 KB cluster size on the SD card

Troubleshooting

  • SD card remains undetected by console or continues to display the wrong capacity after formatting
    • Your SD card may be partitioned or have unallocated space. Follow the instructions here to reformat your SD card.
