However, my controller "locked" and disconnect and I turn off he.įrom there, I googled and found some posts on the DS4Windows's github that talked about it (they're gone recently). My solution was hit on more time to active the rumble again and it's stop. This has caused infinite rumble in sometimes. In DA, each hit active the rumble, as well as the enemy's hit on my character also active the rumble. But, in the new D&D: Dark Alliance I experiencied this bad thing called "infinite rumble". This issue isn't common for me because the games I've played don't use frequentely the rumble. In the last days, I experience a infinite rumble while using a DS4 for play on my PC. And unlike some people state, it doesn't just navigate the XMB.I'm not a developer. The DS4, even with the Official Adapter / Dongle, won't work properly without DS4 Windows / Input Mapper.
You can also use some of your PS3 controllers / peripherals on PS4, which are known as "Legacy Controllers." Hori products, particularly the Fight Stick Mini for PS4, have a setting that can switch between PS4 and PS3.Īnd a lot of products are either already compatible on PC, or there's drivers that will auto download, or, depending on settings, auto setup on PC (my old gold headset works on it). However, you cannot get to the XMB menu, and it seems to only work with Sony controllers (officially licensed ones don't count), as I have tried different controllers like the Scuf Vantage 2 and it won't work.
Eurogamer says you can do it wirelessly ( How to use a DualShock 4 wirelessly with a PS3), but you definitely can do it wired, which is better because it reduces input lag (especially if you have a gold USB). Once your PS3 is done registering the device, you may unplug your DS4 and use it wirelessly!.Plug your DS4 back in, and select Wireless Controller.While the PS3 is scanning, hold down the PS and Share buttons on the DS4 simultaneously until the lightbar on the front of the DS4 is flashing rapidly, indicating it has synced.Start scanning for device then unplug your DS4.
Go to Accessory Settings, then Manage Bluetooth Devices.In certain games' menus, you will need to use on this controller before you can use your Dualshock 4. (additional step if a PS3 controller is required) Lastly, turn on your PS3 controller, and make sure it's assigned as Controller 2.You can now navigate the XMB, load games, and use it as a controller for games listed below!.Note: make sure your Dualshock 4 is assigned as Controller 1 Turn on your PS3, and then hit the button on your Dualshock 4.Next, plug your Dualshock 4 into the micro usb cable.First, plug the micro usb cable into your PS3.There are a few features and games that aren't 100% compatible, the instructions for connecting the controller to the console and the compatibiliy list is in this post: You can plug it in directly to the USB port by default, but if your PS3 has the correct system firmware, it can be used wirelessly as well.
Yes, it is possible to use a DualShock 4 on a PS3.
