No Commodore 64 emualtor for iPhone

[bloodline]

I don't imagine you'd get away with an actual emulation, not in actionscript at any rate.

Having said that, there is a javascript 6502 emulator page out there somewhere. I just can't imagine someone writing a 680x0 emulator in a language like that

The above is a quote from Karlos in another thread...

You have to wonder, could a C64 emulator be written in Javascript? If it could, then you could run it on an iPhone happily (or any webkit device)... with the new HTML5 tags, I think one could write something really quite reasonable!

[bloodline]

think they are saying that users of cracked iphones will be able to use the emulator

Or if I port the emulator myself... Apple allow you to run any software you care to code/port on your own phone.

Any object to continuing this thread as a disscusion regarding writing an emulator in Javascript and using the HTML 5 DOM for I/O... I suggest we stet with the C64 as our ref platform

[bloodline]

I think that would be awesome. Isn't there an NES emulator floating around, written in JS? 500MHz ARM should be enough to do it, even with all the overhead.

Certainly the latest JS engines are getting some crazy good benchmarks! I think the JS engine on the iPhone is "Nitro", and that rocks!!!

Ok guys... You want C64 on your iPhone... point it to this site (any Javascript Browser will also work:) ):

Hahaha... not exactly swift on my 2nd Gen iPhone though... I'll have to give it a go on the new 3Gen one!!!

Here is an optimised version of the JS Emulator... oh wow!!!

-Edit- I'm impressed with this Emu, here is the source code for those that want to have a play:

You need to add an option!

• Can run Commodore 64 software: Yes and Yes

By removing the Basic interpretor, the app can be published without violating the Apple SDK agreement. The apple sdk agreement is there to stop Java or flash running on the phone. It is rather simple when you think about it

[bloodline]

I was being emotive and you shut me down with logic

I understand the reason for removing the interpreter, I just think it's overkill in this instance...

Totally agree, overkill in the extreme! I would love a fun little basic on the iPhone (though JavaScript and HTML5 are actually a very good substitute)... But apple doesn't want certain bit of software on their platform... And this gives them the excuse

[bloodline]

Like anyone wasn't expecting this, after all the dumb fcuks that posted blogs etc about the interpretor being hidden
