If I have freakyhax installed, and another update for the 3DS is released, can I update without getting rid of freakyhax/bricking my 3DS? And if so, how?

Its possible that nintendo blocks that exploit entry point in a future update though I'm not an expert on the matter so perhaps others can weigh in? Also as far as bricking goes, it shouldn't brick if you update since it isn't an install per se as it is a entry point to install home-brew. If I have that backwards some one please correct me.

You can never brick your 3ds just because you have the hbl. It would be safe to update although it usually takes a few days to get it ready
The payload is ran from the sd card, you would update that for the newest firmware and it would work fine. If they patch the exploit, then it is gone.
(I probably sound like an idiot but) What if I installed A9LH after activating freakyhax?
With A9LH, you can update safely as long as you're using an emuNAND, or an updated sysNAND CFW that protects FIRM (which Luma, ReiNand, etc. all do, except for RxTools and Gateway).
oh wow..reason why cfw is betterGateway just displays a nag screen when entering sysNAND mode with 4.0b, that's their "FIRM protection".
if only we had a rom loader for csu files though
depends on your current firmware. If you're on 11.x, this isn't an option, as there's other checks in place that will prevent the downgrade (we need to break process9 first)

I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version -

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
