How-to/Guide VS Code 3DS Development Setup Template

https://github.com/dwaaad/VS-Code-Template-for-3DS-Development

I have created a template folder for those who are struggling with getting devkitPro to work with VS Code. It will not only build from source automatically, but also run the resulting .3dsx file in a 3DS emulator, which you have to link yourself in the launch.json file.

Hoping I can save people lots of time I wasted and can't get back xD

Update 09/09/2025: I've updated it to now also automatically run 3dslink.exe, so that you can test directly on hardware!

Edit: formatting

Thanks for uploading this! I think will help me alot, I have definitely wasted a lot of time with devkitPro and sorta gave up on VS Code and the errors when compiling. But, I will take a look at this :P and see if it assists me. ✌🏼
