Trying to improve x49gp

The following things left for me:

• I'd like the ability to fire up a hp49g+; do I simply swap out the png, or do I have to tweak the config to use the 49g+ firmware? (Is there any practical binary difference?)
• Additionally, how do I select this at runtime, i.e. x49gp -49|-50?
• Related to the first item, how would I "reset" the firmware during running, i.e. it boots up as a 50g, but I want to have a 49g+ without shutting down, erasing ~/.x49gp/* and reloading?
  

Sorry if I'm missing something simple here. About the only way I can see to do what I would like is x49gp -config 49+-config, and I still have to source a 49g+ firmware, I'm not sure I actually have one.

Basically, the only thing you'd need to change is the background image, everything else is identical in both machines, as far as the emulator is concerned.
There's no difference in the firmware between 49g+ and 50g, except the text that appears when you use the VERSION command. The differences were mainly in the hardware (USB power, 4 batteries, tougher keys, etc), which is obviously meaningless in the emulator.
