If there are says a few licensed games that is actually Apple II
original, it is worth it. |

I appreciate you posting this limtc.
A developer needs to make sure their emulator is fully licensed and
legal. The final Apple approved version of Manomio's [$4.99]
Commodore 64 emulator has BASIC disabled. I would assume that you may
want BASIC enabled on an Apple IIGS emulator.
Once you pay the US $10 for my crippled Apple II GS emulator for
iPhone, which Apple II GS game(s) would you want to purchase? |

This is crippled and is locked-in to only a subset of C64 disk images.

No it's not well done since it is limited.

This is the important stuffs, the in-app purchase made possible by
iPhone OS 3.0.
--
Users can purchase separately sold program packs (early prices appear
to be $0.99-$1.99 each and are determined by original IP holders) from
the App Store that, when launched, install a game (or games) into the
main application, adding them to the bookcase-like program launcher.
--
If someone sold an Apple IIGS emulator with 5 games buildin (of
course, the value of the package depending on what games are sold),
and sells games like Rastan, Arkanoid, etc, I will be happy to pay US
$1-2 per game, since these are the original game, not remake.
PS: I believe Olivier is interested in making an Apple IIGS emulator
for iPhone. This I am willing to pay US$4.99 as long as it has in-app
purchase and have all the FTA demos I can carry with me! |

Right. If people want to rag on someone about this, rag on Apple, for
making Microsoft look wide open and friendly.
(No, really. Microsoft has Windows Mobile in a Shared Source license,
and WinMo devices can usually run whatever apps you want, signed or
unsigned, without any jailbreaking. That only leaves the question
of... why isn't there an Apple II emulator that has been updated more
recently than 2001 for WinMo? The stuff out there now doesn't even
really run on a modern WinMo 6.1 device... I guess I could get
StyleTap and Appalm, but Appalm really isn't worth getting another
emulator for. It should be possible to port full-blown KEGS to this
thing, as long as you get past any graphical hurdles and Unicode/ASCII
hurdles (WinCE requires that all text be in Unicode.)) |

Speaking of Microsoft, don't they still technically own the rights to
Commodore BASIC, and Applesoft BASIC for that matter? |

Apple does not police what websites I can visit or emails I can

I forgot to add that I think the emulation is quite good, at least
from the videos I have seen. The only reason I did not purchase it
was because I cannot run my own C programs.
I'd purchase a //e and IIgs emulator that allowed me to determine what
images I can run just like I do with Virtual ][ and Sweet16.
I paid $50 for Virtual ][. I'd have no problem spending that much for
a great flexible emulator for the iPhone.
Perhaps these type of emulators should have two models; free and
clear, do what you can for a premium price, and a low cost version
based on a subscription model. |

This is against Apple SDK rule I think, not developer's fault. What
makes this emulator unique is that everything is licensed, and you
don't need to download ROM somewhere. What you are suggesting has
nothing to do with this software author, just don't buy the iPhone or
jailbreak it as this is how App Store works.
Now I think that maybe Apple II emulator might not be possible to be
released in App Store since I don't think Apple will ever licensed the
ROM to any other vendors.  |

We'll see. I have tentative plans to take a whack at an iPhone port of
Sweet16. Once I get the current code converted to Cocoa for Mac OS X,
I'm going to try an iPhone port. I know odds are against it making it
through Apple's screening process, but if nothing else, I'll have it
for my own use.

No its not. c64 software/floppy images is just data for the
emulator. There are many iPhone apps that download unique data via
the net, as does the c64 emulator, but the c64 author gets to decide
what you can download, just like the App store.
Quote: makes this emulator unique is that everything is licensed, and you

Irrelevant. I think its great that he got the ROM's licensed. What I
am talking about is floppy images.
Quote: What you are suggesting has

It has everything to do with the author.

One can only hope. |

And any others you have as beta testers. We just have to send you our
UDIDs and then you can make an IPA package that we just drop into
iTunes.
If you make it open source, well then any with a $99 developers
license can just build it for themselves. |

true, for $99 a year ... technically you can run what ever you want ...
;)
ps. and seeing as you have the best connections with Apple re
distributing older licensed materials ... it would be great if you gave
it a shot ... if you don't ask ... you don't get ...
Good Luck!! I hope it happens .... |
