The 39gs has a smaller ROM capacity than the 49g+/50g, and Claudio has warned that the 39gs ROM capacity is nearly full now and soon will no longer be able to load the newRPL image.

Yes, maybe this is a better solution than to fiddle with a overlay and stickers etc.

Note that (much earlier in the newRPL development process) I found that the 49g+ drew a large current (several tens of mA) even when the calculator was turned off. I haven't checked this recently so I'm not sure if the problem was ever solved but it is something to bear in mind.

Is anyone currently using a 49g+ flashed with newRPL without the battery drain problem?
