AppleInsider reports that Apple has approved Manomio's Commodore 64 emulator, having rejected it in June because of its inclusion of a BASIC interpreter. Apple explicitly forbade apps from launching their own any executable code in the licensing for the version 2.0 SDK.

The ability of apps in 3.0 to enable in-app purchasing allowed Manomio to work around the limitation. Perhaps better characterized as a simulator rather than a true emulator, the Manomio app cannot run arbitrary C64 code, but only disk images licensed by the company.

Finally something at least close to an emulator makes it to the App Store. Maybe more developers will be able to achieve this by observing the method used for this one.

You're not thinking of a nintendo are you?

[showstopper]

IK+ was a great game!

[rwin84]

We are moving in the right direction...

[awesomeiPod]

Awesomeness! Too bad Nintendo won't make one for the App Store (which is unlikely).
