The comments below the article seem to explain why he thought it would be possible to submit the emulator and have it approved. The SEGA games in the app store

  Maybe there is a difference between containing an emulator and emulating stuff you download from the internet. I don't know the SEGA stuff, but I suppose they just use an emulator internally. Perhaps with some repackaging that C64 emulator could have made it into the App store, too: just claim it is an app that can run a lot of C64 games (that would have to be bundled with the app). Remove the part where it can run games downloaded from the internet.

    Yes. In fact, there's a whole section in the developer agreement (section 3.3.2) that explicitly forbids using (non-built-in) interpreters on downloaded files. This might be a nice app, and maybe the guy thought he could roll the dice and sneak it past, but this is the rare open and closed case of Apple doing exactly what they said they were going to do.
