    I know it says its not supported, but what are the chances of a port? Or is it just waaayy too much particles?

    It shouldnt be really hard to port it.

    What I think its hard is controlling the amount of particles at the same time on the iPhone...

    That could affect the performance :(.

    You can always post on the wish list for a port :D.
    Or maybe ask him, or you try to port it! :D

    Hey I appreciate the kind words!

    On iPhone, I think the way to go is to use Detonator to create animated textures. A wizard would make sense. I hope to find time to add this, but if anyone else wants to take it on, let me know. I've put the project up for OSS contribution and you can find the link on http://variancetheory.com

    At this point (years later) newer generation iOS and mobile GPU's should be able to handle Detonator. The biggest concern is draw calls. If anyone is really dying to use it on mobile, let me know and I'll work on updating it to atlas the textures or something.

    An word on this? I see other threads saying there's a fix, but in one case, a shader is missing, and in another, they're saying they gave the update to Ben to publish himself - but I see no update on the asset store.
    Thanks for any assistance. :)
