C64 pulled from the App Store – partial redactions on my interview

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 at 7:56 pm

It appears that C64 has been pulled from the App Store, because of the ability to enable BASIC. The developer has kindly asked if he could rephrase one of his answers, and I could remove his prior answer from my blog, I have agreed to do so, if I was allowed to make a post of this redaction, so no shady business occurs.

Me: Will it be possible to program the emulator from within the emulator?

[original answer REDACTED]

Yes and no, as mentioned before, BASIC has been disabled in the current version due to the rules of App Store, “interpreters” are not permitted, we have disabled it for now in order to enable it later if we succeed in convincing Apple about allowing it back in.

I will save a copy of the original interview, and I hope to post it in it’s original form sometime in the future, but for now I will kindly submit to the developers request.
