Suggest emuMMC setup *before* "Launching Atmosphere CFW" step? #109

Description

Hey, I wanted to ask if it would be possible to tweak the guide a bit to explain what an emuMMC is, why it's beneficial, and give the user the option to set it up before taking them through the steps to launch Atmosphere on sysMMC to minimize ban risk? I regularly come across and help out people who never took the time to set it up because they just stopped reading after opening the homebrew menu, which eventually leads to either

  • Booting stock and connecting to the internet under the assumption that it's safe since they aren't actively running Atmosphere, and then getting banned shortly after, or
  • A lengthy process to set up an emuMMC and restore a clean sysMMC backup, possibly losing data in the process due to the age of the backup, especially if they forget to create another one beforehand or don't keep regular backups

I think that giving the user an option to set up the emuMMC beforehand and describing why it can help them avoid issues like potential sysMMC bricks and console bans would prevent a lot of headaches resulting from them just not reading far in enough, even if it's just a small blurb with a link to the emuMMC setup page added before the "Launching Atmosphere CFW" step. Thoughts?
