When the DS4 first came out you couldn't pair the PS4 controller to the PS3. You had to play games with the USB cable plugged in. I'm glad they updated it. It's hard finding an affordable genuine OEM DS3. Great vid btw.
Thank God. I bought a ps3 at a pawn shop & it came with a crappy ps3 unbranded controller. I have 2 new ps4 controllers & was curious if it was possible to connect. TH-cam is helpful in many ways, thanks!
You can do it with jus true PS4 controller too, just gotta use a usb cable and the PS4 controller and RIGHT after you press start scanning, take out the usb or charger from the controller and hold share and ps button, then when it shows up on the tv, connect it with usb again and select it. Then take out the usb once it says it’s connected and press ps button. It worked for me :)
It depends on the ps3 game. Some of the ps4 controller buttons will not work like the ps button on the ps4 controller will not work on all ps3 games. It's best to use a ps3 controller on ps3 games.
just for anyone wanting to know, you can use a usb (just like the ps4 charger) and plug it into your ps3 and it works just as fine. Only problem is you have to keep it on the usb, just wanted to let anyone know
None of my ps3 controllers will sync to the system so is there a way I can plug the PS4 controller into the ps3 and sync it without using a ps3 controller to set it up?
Hello. I have one question. I understood that we can use playsitation 4 contreller on playstation 3. But is contreller working like playstation 4 on playstation 3? I mean contreller doesn’t lose functions on playstation 3, isn’t it?
@@dfkanal5969 yes it looses its function to go to the main menu of the playstation where you can go to your friends tab or settings etc. because the ps4 controller button will think that your trying to connect to your ps4 since it’s not actually connected, if your using it wired
I’ve been trying for a while now, I was able to connect the PS4 controller and use it in the Home Screen but when I start a game, I can’t use it for some reason
I already connected it but the problem is trying to get out of the game we don’t have a ps3 controller to turn of the games. The PS button won’t turn it off.
The ps4 controller feels SOOOO much better than the DualShock 3. It may be that I’ve been a ps4 guy for 3 years now, but the ps3 controller feels really light and off brand to me. Not saying it’s bad but I’m just too used to the ps4 now.
Hello brother can you tell me that you have a solution to my problem I have a ps3 slim bebeu but I bought a ps4 controller ps I do not know if it the controller or not the controller works with a cable with usb cable all but through bluetooth will not connect no you have solution thank you
I don't have a PS3 controller so I just plug in a USB charger into the ps3 and it starts charging but when I try turning it on it just keeps charging and doesn't turn on. What do I do 😭
can ps4 controller works on a naruto game like naruto ult. ninja storm rev. On a ps3 console?..cause when you play a player 1 vs player 2 it says press start button for player 2 to play..so how to press the start button on ps4 because there is no start button?
Am using the same controller. Never connected to the ps3 prior. But am currently trying to connect it. And its saying. Error during the register operation
How do you make your ps4 controller 1st player? Because I’m trying to play BO1 campaign with my ps4 controller but it always switches to my ps3 and can’t use my ps4 controller in campaign.
FWI ViTrO it’s because you connect the controller by using the ps3 one so automatically it’s assigned as player 2, maybe if you connect two ps3 controllers then disconnect the one assigned as player 1 then use the still connected controller to connect the ps4 one it may work but i’m not sure
Yes, actually! Just connect it with usb, go to settings, accesory settings, manage bluetooth devices, register new device, start scanning, disconnect it from the usb cable, press SHARE and the ps button together, when you see that the light is blinking connected it back to the usb cable, press Wireless Controller, and when it says registering complete, press sircle, disconnect it again from the usb cable, then press ps button and your ready! (And if it didn't work, I can make you an video on how to do it!)
Joshua FilesPodcast You can pick up cheap third party controllers I believe, and then just use it to connect the ps4 one, don’t quote me on it though ahha
You can use the usb with you’re ps4 controller,go to the Bluetooth screen thing,scan for devices,unplug usb,put you’re ps4 into pairing mode,once in pairing mode plug back in the usb and pair the ps4 controller and unplug the usb and you should be good to go.
If this method doesn’t work, try using a direct USB cable connection, only problem is the Dualshock 4 must always be wired to the PS3
Can you play ps2/1 games on the ps3 through this method?
I mean the ps2/1 games on the ps store
Nha it’s works
