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!


I know there is a J2ME C64 emulator, I have run it on my Sony Ericsson.  ehhhh, balls slow, though.  JavaScript would be a nice challenge for someone.  Would programming be too much different?

I get the warez aspect, but, really, what could a stock-C64 emulator do to their precious platform or network?

Yanked again:

Apple yanks C64 emulator from App Store • Register Hardware

They apparently left the BASIC interpreter in there, just hidden.
