Really? I thought you have like 10 or 20 seconds to get back to the skimmer or mission failed

iPod 4 is about the bare minimum hardware needed to run the game. I'd be happy it works.

shadows,whereas it is not supported in itunes page.

Well, what iOS version do you have running on them? The iPod 3 should run better with an older build, and if the iPod 4 is running iOS 6, that could be your problem.

I would have been happy if it ran at even 27-30fps but it doesn't,the pop-in is horrible and the game has got no effects whatsoever it looks like a ps1 game to be honest.the same engine also runs on psp but then the psp version is optimised to run the game which makes all the difference.

The iPod 4 also has far more pixels to push and a lot of the very limited system resources go to running the OS. The PSP and PS2 had none.

Thanks for the help

ipod touch has a 1ghz processor which is 3 times to that of psp or ps2 and it has a better gpu and 4 times the ram.as far as pixels go ps2 renders the game on 21 inch screen compared to ipod 4g's 3.5 inch,you do the math.

The ps2 hardware is way more powerful than an ARM RISC processor designed to consume low power for use in portable devices

I did. The PS2's resolution was FAR lower than the iPod 4's. Moreover it's a dedicated game console, it has no OS to run.

Just ask a developer which is more powerful.
