Description of the issue(s)
There are some steps that asks people to place files in the folder xx/yy. However, this notation is a bit technical and may not be understood by everyone. It would be better to say: place the files in the folder yy that is inside xx.
Here is a real example where an user got confused with this notation: https://i.imgur.com/thrAcdR.png
So Section I, step 14 could be rewritten as:
Copy GodMode9.firm from the GodMode9 .zip to the payloads folder inside the luma folder on your SD card.
Weirdly doesn't seem to be that common an issue from what I've seen on NH, but I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to changing it. The problem is with that this is only feasible for places where you're only two folders deep -- what do we do when we have to direct someone to /Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/Nintendo DSiWare/? Then it becomes a consistency issue.
Maybe something in between would be using: navigate to xx -> yy.
Maybe we can use sdmc:/.
As an example, sdmc:/luma/payloads/ would be less confusing.
Edit: wait, I was misunderstanding. This would make non-technical users more confusing.
