[QUOTE="Alex Atkin UK, post: 124939, member: 1290"] I don't think ROM emulation is a good excuse for everything as its not like Zen suddenly doesn't have to use any CPU power just because they aren't emulating hardware. I suspect the real reason is that Farsight are very much scratching the surface when it comes to advanced graphical effects on the game, because up until now they have mostly been having to write for limited tablet/phone hardware whereas quickly as GPU power has improved, so has screen resolutions. For example my Galaxy Note 3 has pretty decent GPU power behind it, but its completely offset by having to crank out 1080p. PA runs quite choppy because of that, I wonder if ball reflections would be possible there if they capped the resolution to 720p? Fortunately this should start to improve now we have pretty much reached the point where cranking up the dpi of mobile screens any further is pointless but GPU power should continue to increase.
