hey... who said it was supposed to BE easy?

porting ANY game to a platform different from (and especially inferior to) original release and keeping speed in mind is hard (no normal programmer would want months of their hard work to go to the dump when it's released because n00bs are whining that the game is running at all of 5fps on their 2 year-old Casseopedia).

Besides the programmers don't do it because it's an esy bit of respect... they don't work on a project for all of 2 days to get yay-ed to death by n00bs... they don't care about n00bs' opinions. They want respect from the very group that would immediately discredit any shoddy quick effort they make - fellow coders.
