Full Commodore 64 Emulator Rejected from App Store
Touch Arcade —
iPhone developer Manomio has been secretly working on a major App Store project for the past year that has just been completed, but may never see the light of day in its current form. Readers may remember Manomio as the developer behind the iPhone version of classic game Flashback. Manomio's slogan is "In Retro We Trust" and their mission statement is to bring classic game titles to the leading handheld devices such as the iPhone.
What Manomio has done is to create a fully licensed Commodore 64 emulator for the iPhone that can play classic games and even run Commodore 64 BASIC. The full ...

The Commodore 64 emulator iPhone app that coulda been a contender
MobileCrunch —
It’s happened again. Apple has officially rejected an app that at first blush seems harmless and fun. This time it’s a Commodore 64 emulator from Manomio that offered a realistic joystick and keyboard, portrait and landscape gaming, and a fully licensed C64 emulator code. It was all on the up and up. Apple seemed excited. But then Manomio got the dreaded rejection mail:
Thank you for submitting C64 1.0 to the App Store. We’ve reviewed C64 1.0 and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store because it violates the iPhone SDK Agreement; “3.3.2 An ...

Quick App: C64 Commodore 64 Emulator for iPhone — Can Hack Basic!
The iPhone Blog —
C64 ($4.99 – iTunes link], a Commodore 64 emulator for the iPhone (and iPod touch) is now available from the App Store, despite having been previously rejected by Apple. FCC spotlight? Phil Schiller intervention? Simple change of heart? Sounds more like a slight change of code, says the C64 blog:
Ultimately, BASIC has been removed for this release; however, we hope that working with Apple further will allow us to re-enable it.
(If you’re dying to get your BASIC on, however, reader Stooovie let us know you can still access it by enabling “always show full ...

Well how about that. A Commodore 64 emulator for iPhone is nothing new -- we covered the fact that one had been developed a little while ago. Here's what is new (and a little surprising, to be honest): Apple approved it. In an environment where Apple seems intent on rejecting anything that might encroach on their platform, even just a little bit, they have apparently allowed an emulator right there on the App ...
Commodore 64 emulator app approved, then removed from the App Store
iPhonefreak —
Commodore 64 emulator app approved, then removed from the App Store Remember that C64 emulator that was rejected by Apple back in late June — well it was recently approved for entry in the App Store . Sounds like good news, the availability announcement came over the weekend, but unfortunately as of now (Tuesday morning) the app is once again unavailable. So far, I have not been able to find any clue as to the removal, both the company website and Twitter account still reflect the app as being available, but I would imagine that will change soon. When I attempt to visit the App Store to check out the ...

Apple pulls Commodore 64 emulator for iPhone from App Store Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 12:20 PM EDT Apple Store "Come on Manomio, what did you expect? Did you really think Apple would leave your C64 emulator in the App Store after it was revealed that the BASIC interpreter was still in your software, exposed with a little up, up, down, down, left, right trickery? That's a clear breach of the SDK and well, downright sneaky," Thomas Ricker reports for Engadget. Full article here .

C64 emulator returns to App Store sans BASIC
iPhone Atlas —
The Commodore 64 emulator application for iPhone was pulled from the App Store by Apple in September for leaving its BASIC interpreter intact and accessible via a backdoor hack. This week, the app has returned after some major re-work by its creator, Manomio . C64 no longer contains the BASIC interpreter and Commodore 64 ROM files, since Apple originally rejected the app for these reasons . As a result, the emulator no longer lets you run your own BASIC code inside the app. However, it will still run classic Commodore 64 games, and it now comes with a total of eight free games (with more to come later via in-app ...
Commodore 64 for the iPhone is back
CrunchGear —
As you’ll recall, the C64 emulator for the iPhone was shut down by the App store for being too awesome. Apple has approved the app but took off the BASIC support. Not great but not bad, either.
You can download the app here and this time there is no secret back door for enabling the BASIC emulator right in the app, which caused the emulator to run afoul of Apple’s draconian “no fun” policy.
Here is a cheerful Australian man running you through the app. It allows you to play classic games including that Kung Fu game that you remember but ...
