The GPL incompatibility issue has nothing to do with Apple not allowing emulators. (After all there are BSD/MIT emulators) They don't want (non-sandboxed) interpreters running unreviewed code. Right now the only interpreter allowed to be used with downloaded code is webkit's JS JIT.

For instance, recompile the runtime with emscripten. Luckily there is webmsx now which looks promising, but that is not there yet.
