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

Get Started

Before starting this guide, we will see if custom firmware is already installed and check the current system version of your console.

Section I - CFW Check

  1. Power off your console
  2. Hold the (Select) button
  3. Power on your console while still holding the (Select) button
  4. If you do not see a custom menu (your console just boots to the HOME Menu), you may proceed to the next section

::: warning

If you see the Luma3DS configuration screen or any other custom menu (e.g. GodMode9, Decrypt9WIP), STOP - you already have custom firmware! Continue from here.

:::

Section II - System Version Check

  1. Launch System Settings on your console
  2. Your system version will be displayed on the bottom right of the top screen (e.g. "Ver. 11.17.0-50U")

Section III - Select a Method

To find the correct method for your console, please select the model of your console and the system version you found in Section II.


Alternate Methods

If possible, you should follow the method given by the prompt above.

Otherwise, methods that work on all versions are available, but require additional hardware:

  1. ntrboot - requires compatible DS flashcart
  2. Installing boot9strap (Hardmod) - requires soldering
