Native code patch development

The external/ directory contains the tools for compiling and patching the native 3DS code (via msr-remote-connector and magikoopa-py). These are managed as git submodules, so after cloning you need to initialise them:

git submodule update --init --recursive

See external/README.md for setup and build instructions.
