Previously Rejected Commodore 64 Emulator Approved and Available on App Store

Sure, because it's *impossible* to write a buffer overflow in C64 BASIC. 🙄

Seriously, if you have the know-how and motivation, you can blow through just about any sandbox with code *intended* to do so. It just takes the knowledge of a weak spot in the sandbox's walls.

Quite. And the iPhone's security historically has been... well... not very good. There are almost certainly holes.

But it's not technically a sandbox, it's an emulated processor and hardware. It's not just an interpreter it's a complete emulation, including memory space emulation.

There is no way to run native ARM code using the 6502 code, even though the original ARM processor instruction set *WAS* based upon a simplified 6502 instruction set.

Apple have pulled it.
The hack was in an Easter egg.
What a bone headed move on the part of the developer. 😱

Come on Amiga games!

1024 colors! Dedicated graphics chips! 512kB system RAM!...

Let's party like it's 1989!

What happened to the other 3072 colours? 😀

I can live with out CBM BASIC V2.0 just as long as when it comes back to the App Store it's got Compunet access at emulated 1200/75 Baud so I don't have to use the Internet anymore.

MUD, anyone?

Does anyone know if they used the open source code to mimic CRT screen flicker? It looks like they did...

I was wondering the same thing. If they did, that's awesome beyond words 🙂.
