Simpler than you might think! Plug the DS4 into the PS3 using a USB cable, and it'll work fine in wired mode. For wireless, in the 'Accessory Settings,' select 'Register New Device' and follow the instructions.

Easy peasy! Just plug your DualShock 4 into the PS3 with a USB cable. Go to 'Accessory Settings' > 'Manage Bluetooth Devices' > 'Register New Device.' Unplug and re-plug the cable, follow the on-screen instructions, and boom, you're good to go!

Just use a USB cable to plug it in. Wireless is more of a hassle and doesn't work perfectly. Stick to wired!
