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 (Mac)

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

Instructions

OS X El Capitan (10.11) and later

  1. Insert your SD card into your computer

  2. If the SD card has any files and folders on it, copy everything to a folder on your computer

  3. Run the Disk Utility app

  4. In the top-left "View" menu, choose "Show All Devices"

  5. Select your SD card in the left panel

    ::: danger

    Make sure you choose the correct device, otherwise you might accidentally erase the wrong drive!

    :::

  6. Click "Erase" at the top

  7. Enter anything for "Name"

  8. Ensure that "Format" is set to "MS-DOS (FAT)"

  9. Ensure that "Scheme" is set to "Master Boot Record"

    • If "Scheme" does not appear, click "Cancel" and make sure to choose the device instead of a volume

  10. Click "Erase"

  11. Wait for the format to finish

  12. Click "Close"

  13. If the SD card had any files and folders on it before the format, copy everything back from your computer
