Licensed C64 Emulator Rejected From App Store

Posted by Soulskill on from the insufficient-quantities-of-hip dept.

Miasik.Net writes "A fully licensed Commodore 64 iPhone emulator has been rejected from the App Store. The excuse Apple used is a clause in the SDK agreement which doesn't allow for applications that run executable code. It seems Sega is exempt from that clause, because some of its games on the iPhone are emulators running original ROM code."

    An iPhone emulator that runs on a Commodore 64? Color me surprised!

    Hopefully this means that I can upgrade my old boxes by emulating dual core processors on them. Links, anyone? ;)

    Apple is about quality first and they are just holding back the release date until the iPhone's cassette tape inferface is ready.

    1) App is arbitrarily rejected for some reason.
    2) Angry story on Slashdot about rejection.
    3) App is resubmitted and accepted with some minor change

    So, you're saying that whining on Slashdot is actually useful?

    The mind boggles, it does.

    And what exactly is so important about the app store that it cannot be bypassed?

    Profit.

    Me too. I'm waiting for the obligatory "The 1980s called and they want their language back" jokes. :o)

    Even the 1980's don't want that language back
