The result was a game that ran at a buttery 60fps during map scrolling but suffered from uneven turn times . In the late game, with eight civilizations active, a single AI turn could take 15-20 seconds. On the PC version (which was not released— Rev was console-only), a modern CPU would handle this in 2 seconds. The PKG’s inability to offload AI processing to a separate thread due to the PS3’s memory architecture meant that the game effectively “froze” during AI turns—a cardinal sin for a 4X game, but one that couch players tolerated with a smartphone in hand.
“For games under 4GB, you get the PKG file, and put it on the root of your FAT32 formatted usb. Install the PKG using package manager, by going into install package files, and the third option, which is install by root of your storage device.” Reddit · r/ps3homebrew
