Each mp4 player is different. Each model has different chip configuration, different board layout, different chip revisions. Because of that, different versions of firmware are made for specific players. Each player needs it's own unique drivers and codes to play music, video, display pics etc. These drivers are contained within that firmware version.
Different firmware versions like 9.0.43 and 9.0.50 are very very different from one another when it comes to 'operational codes'. Also each manufacturer tends to have his own versions of firmware in his players.
Lets say we're in China.. and in 1 street you have 2 manufacturers of chipods right next to each other. They're producing identical players.
You can safely bet that one of them will take a shortcut in it's production to make his cheaper so they outsell thier neighbors. One might use slightly lesser quality chips, or a cheaper revision of those chips. This would require different firmware, with different programs drivers and codes. They may look the same on the outside... but they are hell different inside.
Likewise fw v9.0.43 contains different drivers then v9.0.50 because they address different chips. So if you take 9.0.50 and replace it with 9.0.43 you'll most certainly kill your player with little chance of recovery.
Enjoy your player as is for now and hang around for the new tools to mod your little heart out.
