Last week, Apple relaxed its rules about executable code in apps on the App Store (among other things). C64 developer Manomio promptly responded by resubmitting a version of its C64 app complete with BASIC emulator, which was previously removed at Apple's request.
“We're cautiously optimistic after very positive correspondence with Apple”, Manomio wrote on Twitter.

An App Store favorite of our readers who relish the retro is surely Manomio's Commodore 64 [link], the C64 emulation system / game store that does a great job of putting an expanding list of 8-bit classics right in our pockets. We first got wind of Manomio's emulation effort in June of last year, when it was submitted to Apple and rejected, as it was determined to be in violation of the iPhone SDK agreement.
Touch Arcade:
Earlier this month, we detailed an update for the Commodore 64 iPhone app that developer Manomio had been busy working on for the past several months. This update would bring some much needed control optimizations both to the overall functionality of games and added flexibility for specific titles that would need more than a standard control stick and button setup. And of course, a nice selection of new downloadable titles would be included in this update as well.

The latest update to the Commodore C64 emulator, C64 for iPhone, is due to land on the App Store any day now, with a raft of tweaks, new features, and 14 new games.
Manomio has been working hard at addressing control issues with this latest release, correcting the dead-zone and sensitivity, introducing a new fixed-mode joystick for the landscape view, and support for the control layout system for more complicated titles.
