GTA3 lag on android - no lag on ps2

[jrbo]

I have a galaxy nexus with a 1.2ghz daul core CPU when playing gta3 I've notice quite a bit of lagging, I never understood why it does this eespecially since it's running 2 threads a 1.2ghz, how does it run so smoothly on the ps2 when the ps2 is running at 300mhz it doesn't make sense the only thing I can think of is these "ports" are some how being emulated possibly within the game itself like a hiddin ps2 emulator built into the app itself, can someone explain this to me please?

There is no emulation, its a port by rockstar games so its using the original source code from pc version. It doesnt just depend on the CPU for lag, a lot of the reason for the lag would be the GPU and a ps2 game can put a big damn load on a mobile GPU, If you havent noticed a lot of the textures are on much lower quality than the PS2 and PC version, I have GTA3 on my Galaxy Nexus as well, though and it runs fine for me. make sure you havent got any apps or unnecessary processes running in the background then try again.
