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
@Monty: Hopefully. I bet people would be happy to spend $1 for a new Comm game (that would be better than most of the stuff in the App Store even sans nostalgia). #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!
@martinS60: you should .. i dont know buy a dsi and play the REAL game instead of some crappy emulated game. support the games you like by paying them /rant

So if I were to ingest my Xbox, would I gain awesome online capabilities and heat up like an egg on the sidewalk on the sun? Sounds good. #commodore64

So you can't even get a c64 emulator to begin with much less have it pulled?

The games included with it aren't DS games.
