Legally licensed C64 emulator barred from App Store |
Ó
An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise.
While that seems pretty straightforward, another problem is that according to Manomio CEO Brian Lyscarz, there are already a number of apps on the App Store that also violate this clause: CHIP-8 emulators, programmable calculators, the Z-machine interpreter, Frotz, a Z-machine -- even Sega's Golden Axe and Sonic iPhone games, which are just basically emulators that come packaged with game ROMs.
Touch Arcade reports that Manomio is still hoping that their C64 emulator eventually gets approved, and seeing as how they had the patience to track down and actually forge a deal with the C64 license holders, chances are these guys won't just give up on it like that. Hopefully they do get that certification, since the emulator actually looks pretty good.

And nothing of value was lost.
Seriously, Apple is going crazy with all of their success with the AppStore, quite simply, they don't deserve it. They try to limit what everyone can make, hopefully people just stop coding for it and goto a REAL platform that doesn't limit developers.
FFS APPLE ARE RETARDED LIMITING THE IPHONES FUNCTIONS GAMING WISE. IF THEY WERENT SO DUMB MANY PEOPLE WOULDNT JAILBREAK
exactly. Why do they even make it so hard to use the phone? I have a 1st gen iphone in Australia and I have no choice but to jailbreak it. Apple are just morons. As I keep saying "Apple want clones not customers" If they were smart they would release a firmware thats totally unlocked and let anything in to the app store. Then there will be no reason to jailbreak and get cracked apps. I dont care, its thier loss not mine.
great emulator, lets hope everything works out.
I think the devs of this should put it on the internet, just as a gracious kick to the nuts of Apple. It'd be like 'you had the chance to make lots of money from this, but no.'
C64 was about the greatest games machine/desk computer through the 80s. This is a serious piece of history, legal implementations of emulators keep that history alive. Big respect for your name as I love Code Geass but man think before you speak.
They block this but let the shake the baby to death emulator go up. What idiots.
There was nothing wrong with that app.
not realy if they want to make a lil money off this and apple wont let them then why dont they just put it up for sale in the cydia store??
Id buy it if it was on cydia store
Because nobody uses that...
