Yeah, I've resisted playing some of my legacy PS3 games because it's hard to go back to DS3. It is a lot smaller, and on my DS3's the analog sticks are really loose and don;t feel like they control the game as tightly as the DS4 sticks.

And of course L2 and R2 are way better on DS4.

Could Sony do a firmware to have DS4 work natively on PS3? I guess they figure it's not worth the time and effort.

Just use this trick instead.  It does the job 

Do you have to keep it plugged in to the USB port?

Cool. Did not actually know this. I just bought 3 new DS 3's though, so I'm good. :)

This is awesome! Can't wait to test it out!

Good to know! I'll definitely try this out soon! I enjoy the DS4 moreso than DS3.

That is true but the PS button doesn't work on Playstation 3. ^^




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

"However, there are some limitations when using the DualShock 4 on the PlayStation 3. These are:

No Rumble Feedback (Vibration)
Motion Sensing does not work
Touch Pad does not work
PS Button does not work
Speaker on DualShock 4 does not work
Headset port does not work
Light bar has no effect on the game, as it just stays a whiteish, blue colour (when used wireless)"



Games that aren't compatible with DS4 on PS3:
