I'm guessing that the capability of downloading ROMs isn't the issue, it's the requirement of downloading a ROM before the app is even functional.

That would be an interesting option, but a new iOS emulator based on x49gp would have to be written in order for that to work- m48+ is based on emu48, which cannot emulate the ARM processor required by the newRPL alternate firmware. Instead, it directly emulates the older HP proprietary (Saturn family) processors that the HP49G+ and HP50G (and others) _also_ emulate on ARM hardware.

x49gp is the only emulator that I know of that runs the complete software environment of the newer calculators, including ARM code. ARM emulation is required for the newRPL firmware, since it's compiled to run directly on the ARM processor of these newer calculators.

It might be possible to port newRPL to iOS directly, but at that point it would be a completely new app, unrelated to m48+.
