New iPhone SID player
Hi Guys. If anybody is interested my iPhone app for playing mods, SIDs and iPhone media library is now available.
https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/geektunes/id715319265?mt=8
Its not meant to look pretty but its a good "one stop shop" job for me and I wanted to share it with any other Mod/Sid lovers out there.
You can put the C64Music.zip file from HVSC onto the device and it will plays SIDs from the one ZIP file.
I also have song length config files etc that I will be uploading to my site.. once I finish the manual.

I hope somebody finds it useful. If there's enough interest I'll go ahead and port it to Android once I'm finished adding all the features I have in the pipeline.
Cheers

Quoting mankeliDoes Apple have any problem about the GPL license of ReSID?
Their problem concerns emulation of any form of executable file. |

Ah I missed the beginning of the conversation about GPL.
Btw, do you know how Apple noticed that you are running an emulator?
I also wonder about how do they define an "emulator". They still execute Javascript, programs generate their own shader code, monkey island ports run on Scumm, other games run script languages as well, etc.
Or was the problem exactly the fact that you can supply the executable code _yourself_? If this is the case, maybe you could make a self-contained HVSC application.
Plus: This ban is quite stupid in this case, as the "emulator" here is basically just a very specialized data compression algorithm. :-) |

Yes, this is the scenario that's in violation of Apple's developer guidelines. If you were to include HVSC with the application it'd be ok. |

so one could make vsid a web app and make it play sids that are pulled directly from some online repository? :) |

There's a sid player for Nokia N9 which downloads .sids from some online HVSC site and it doesn't play local sids at all. :) |

Well... seeing the power of emscripten I'm sure most apps can be automagically turned into web apps with some weeks of tuning. |

The problem here is that downloading the code from some site and emulating it is a potential vulnerability.
The scenario they want to prevent is that you (or someone else) is using a bug in the emulation code and a well prepared C64 executable to overflow a buffer and execute some native code. That would allow people to use private APIs and do all kinds of nasty stuff.
Remember, all apps are signed binaries, so injecting any native code is a big no-no and will break the security chain.
If an app uses a webview to run some Javascript, it will be executed using a "slow" Javascript VM, to prevent the same kind of problem. As an app you can't make a page executable and generate native code, so the modern Javascript JITs can't work.
I had my own app rejected for this a while ago too, but I'll release the code anyway. |
