Some stuff took a long time to really get working. Some stuff worked out of the box, and we were able to get that stuff up and running quickly. Steve can go into more detail about trying to port over the particle system, for instance, which used a lot of the underlying tech on PlayStation - that had to be completely ported over for DirectX.
