I used to have a MP3, and used s1res tools to make new graphics, and I loved all that costumization... Now I hear that there are themes for these players, but because of a firmware issue, we cant extract them... However we can clone them, right?
Here's the thing: I've seen many MP4 with more/less function than mine, even though the specs are the same... I believe this is because of firmware issues... I would like to know if I could install a previous version of my player firmware so that I could gain acess to themes and new games (I only have Tetris), or if I could install firmware from other players to acess new functions and theme support.
Is this possible? What should I do to garantee a safe fallback if it goes wrong?
Btw, in my firmware informations on the player, it shows this:

Core: ACT9x_0.50

Date: 2006-10-30

FW: HKX-1.5c-010

Date: 2006-12-10

Please, I know my post is long but could someone give me a straight answer ASAP? Thanks in advance...

EDIT: Here's a picture of my MP4:

OK, the good news: You weren't cheated. All mp players have slightly less memory space than advertised. The remaining is taken up by firmware.

I am unfamiliar with your firmware so I don't know if it can't be themed, but whatever you do DO NOT upgrade your firmware or install firmware that is not designed for your player. You will brick your player.
