    The emulator is based on the freeware and open-source emulator Frodo. But no credits are given, so basically Manomino is trying to make money on somebody else's efforts. Now THAT is a valid reason to shut this app down.

    Does anyone know the process for adding additional games to this emulator? Do they have to convert them for us, or could we somehow take a 1541 and plug it into an Amiga and convert it over to a usable format for it to read? It would a fantastic opportunity if we could easily convert the ridiculous number of games sitting in basements everywhere. Eight games is a nice proof of concept, but let's move it to the next level. #c64

    @Monty: Most likely it would consist of them having to legally do it for you. For starters you wouldn't be able to add a file like that to an iPhone by default. That would lead me to believe that with the current paid additions for apps in in the App Store, they could obtain the rights for a game then sell it as an in-game upgrade for a fee. #c64

    @madog: If that is the case, and if the big names of the past (Epyx, Activision, Broaderbund, Rainbow Arts) could buy into this particular publisher making "the Commodore 64 emulator", then they could make a few bucks re-selling their old [cough] masterpieces. #c64

    Now, will Apple play cat and mouse again and take down the App for undisclosed SDK reasons?

    I'm already on a wining bet: Yes. #c64

    If they're worried about using Microsoft software on Apple products, they obviously don't know that Commodore BASIC was wholly owned by Commodore--the only time Mr. Bill ever sold a version of it. Since Commodore's long gone, there's no one to sue Apple.

    I am holding out for the Commodore Plus/4 emulator, myself.

    Okay, I have to admit that when this thing becomes available (permanently) I will have to buy an iPod Touch to get this. Sure, an absolute waste of money to run C64 games, but somehow still priceless. Get it together, Manomio!

    Well you can still get to basic in this.
    Just run one of the games and then press the reset button on the c64 keyboard and it will drop back to full basic.

    10 print "hello world"
    20 GOTO 10

    It works :)

    @Retroman: If I were you, I would have phrased your comment slightly different - "For anyone who wants to use Basic in this emulator.

    Just run one of the games and then press the reset button on the c64 keyboard and it will drop back to full basic.

    10 print "hello world"
    20 GOTO 10

    Happy Days :)

    For those who dont know what Basic is. Dont worry about it ;)"

    Very cool, but it's insanely lame that they had to ditch BASIC. It's not like you've got the IO resources built-in to BASIC to do anything troubling.

    @Serolf Divad:
    And might I add: you can actually create some cool useful gadgets in BASIC (like custom calculators and such). Sure, i realize much of it could be done in a spreadsheet, but for many of us growing up with BASIC, it's far easier just to throw up a simple recursive BASIC program.

    This needs to be bundled with some high-class booze to REALLY get the classiness going.
