[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 37118, member: 152"] Possible, or there could be weirdness in the ROM's video handling that makes efficient emulation difficult, instruction sets that don't translate well to current CPU architecture, or any of a hundred other issues. Consoles are optimized to spit out lots of fancy eye candy quickly; their main processors (which is what runs the emulation and at least some of the physics) are often quite a bit slower. Even given that, it does seem odd that a PS3/360 wouldn't have the horsepower for it. I could easily see iOS/Android having problems, but plenty of 360 games do intensive physics and video sequences (Skyrim, for one) and seem to be fine. So while I don't think what Bobby said is necessarily BS, I am confused by it. I don't think the interviewer was prepared; his questions jumped all over the place and Bobby at several points had to ask for clarification as to what he was actually being asked. But at least Bobby is being interviewed; otherwise we'd have no new information at all. [/QUOTE]
