How To Use The DualSense With ALL Features On PS3 

A couple of things I forgot to mention in the video: 1. You can plug in the DualSense directly into the PS3, but you will still miss out on vibration, six axis and PS home button functionality. 2. The adapter SHOULD allow you to use the DualSense on the PS4 too as it's advertised to do so on the website. However, I do not own a PS4 so I was unable to confirm this for myself.

Thanks so much for this awesome suggestion and explanation for how to use the Brook Wingman. Because of this video I have been able to find a way to keep playing my ps3 after I broke the stick while being too aggressive trying to clesn it for stick drift. I still regret breaking my otherwise ok but old controller, but now I can use the DualSense and have all the functions. It's great. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for showing us how to do it. I just bought the XE2 version of the converter and I can confirm that it works perfectly by using this exact method.

Thanks for this video, it motivated me to buy one. I've just received the XE 2 version, i'm really happy to finally be able to play certain games that weren't working with the dual sense.

Thanks for the tip, I can confirm it works for PS3 and Gran Turismo 5. Next is trying to get the wheel or motion controls to work on it.

omg thanks so much. I was having hard time looking for getting a new dualshock 3

Great content bro, you have such a smooth voice too keep up the good work

This is what i am looking for! Thx a lot!

Thank you. You are the only person I have seen that actually shows you holding down both buttons on ps5 controller. 🤙

Your not the only one playing ps3 in 2022 bud I play it all the time

Thank you for this video. You're like the only one featuring the XE 2 showing how to actually pair it (with the share and ps button)!

Thank you so much for this! I love my PS5 controller and it's nice that I can use it for a lot of games on my PS3 but I definitely love the fact that with the adapter I will have full support. I also like that it's a simple plug and play and not a lot of setup

Thank you for showing guide button functionality! that is huge!

Gonna buy this this is so cool

Just ordered one to go back and play some good old ps3 games... cant wait

Apparently, I really need to buy this Wingman thing. Thank you for your video. Bought PS3 a month ago, and after using Xbox One and PS5 controllers it is really difficult to back on DS3. Dualshock 3 is way more uncomfortable, especially in first person shooters.

Thank you. I'm gonna be getting a Brook Wingman now. You just earned yourself a new subscriber my friend

Once you pair the ps5 controller to the PS3 the first time, do you still need the PS3 controller to boost the console or if you press the ps5 controller home button you can start the console? Let me know please

Thanks! Solved my problem...

i bought the wingman X2 and everything works fine with my PS5 controller on PS3 but it keeps saying my controller is empty even though is not. How can i fix that?

useful video thanks JH

I love my PS5 but I do find my self going back to the PS3 every now and then

How do i know if my ps4 controller is running low since it is basically connected as wired but the dongle makes it wireless?

Thanks so much for the great content. Speaking of rumble , how is it compared to the original dualshock 3? Which one has the better vibration feel on PS3? Dualshock 3 or dualsense?

The reason why the x box controller works only works wired is because the x box bluetooth drivers changed. I think they did work wireless at one point until they changed the drivers. I have a Mayflash s-pro converter and they explain that in the user manual. I think I may have talked to support about it too but I'm not sure my mind's a little fuzzy.

Does it work when setting up or updating a ps3? I seem to remember you need to have the controller plugged in via a wire at that point. Tempted to get this, my controllers are all broken and after playing ps5 the ps4 and ps3 controllers feel cheap and light

I used the wireless method 1st shown, my controller worked on the ps3 UI, but not with a game...any idea how to fix this?

I tried it with ghost recon future soldier but the start button wouldn't work so I couldn't start the game

I tried to play NHL 2k8 with a USB cable. And it didnt work properly. The L2 button didnt work. Do you think it would work bryter with the adapter?

thank you very much !

Do you know if the adapter allows you to play Ps2 games on a backwards compatible ps3 with a dualsense?

Can you wirelessly connect multiple Dualsense controllers to one adapter?

If I buy the adapter, can I then plug in headphones and have them work? Or will it not work for audio input through the mic and output from the game?

Where can i buy this adapter and will it work with ps5 i have a turtle beach stealth 700 headset that i lost my adapter to and this seems like it may be my only option besides joining party chats via Bluetooth through my phone and the PlayStation app before i eventually have to go out and buy a entirely new one that will set me back almost 200 bucks

@JHugs do the trigger buttons work correctly when using these converters? Straight out of the box, when I connect my DualSense to a PS3 the triggers work in a digital fashion rather than analog. Does this converter solve this?

Does the vibration work on the dual sense, with the brook adapter? Thanks a bunch

Do dualshock 4 motion controls work on PS3? What about switch? Or have you tested? Sorry for so much questions, thanks in advance!

Can you use 2 controllers with one USB? Or do i have to buy another one to play with friends?

For some reason, max Payne 3 will not allow me to use my ps5 control at all? Every other game is fine, except this one? I’m so confused as to why it won’t allow it.

what would an alterative to the Brook Wingman XE Converter be? They're not sold in my country

Mine's not working correctly. And I can't turn on the p s three with my dual semse

My ps5 controller isn't cooperate with Killzone 2, what is wrong?

Hello, can I also use the MAYFLASH Magic NS (1) adapter? according to the description, it allows for motion support etc too

Does the vibration work on dualsense using Brook converter on ps3?

great video, thnx! A question please - Can a usb extension cable be used with the WingmanXE? (I have my ps3 tucked a distance away.)

Can you check if square/triangle etc buttons are pressure-sensitive or not in ps3 games with this method?

Does it work with the backwards compatibility of the PS3 also? BC on PS3 is real figity with controllers sometimes.

Does gryo aiming works on DualShock4 with adapter? I looking the solution to play PS3 games with gyro aiming for example Heavenly Sword, Army of Two (paraschute aiming) etc. on non-DS3 controller.

I just found it online, but it the package says it only supports XBOX controllers and PS4 Systems

I would like to know if it supports multiple controllers at once?

Does the PS5 controller work on PS2 games with PS3? I know it doesn't work but I mean with the adaptor.

Will the DualSense charge when used (in game time) wired with the adapter? Does PS3 menu's charging indicators works as correctly as when used with original PS3 Dualshock controller?

what about games such as lords of shadow and MGS collection? Still havent found a way to make it work with those games.

Question, can your turn on your ps3 with the dual sense and have all the features still on or do you have to pair the controller to the usb dongle each time you turn on the ps3?

Dualsense vibration and ps button works with wire??

Does the adapter work on safe mode?

THANK YOU

Can you connect multiple controllers to the adapter?

Does the rumble working on Dualsense 5 using this adapter?

the dualsense p2 conector works??

Hey can we connect two controller to one of thes adapters

That’s so dope, I got an 8bitdo adapter but it’s not getting recognized on my ps3; but, it works on my switch. I’ve been trying to find a ps3 controller but finding an oem one seems sketchy with the fakes. I need something because I got psp games I wanna play on the ps3 but when I tried the generic controllers or even my DualShock 4 via Bluetooth it says there is no compatible controllers connected. So if this has all the functions, would this then let me use my dual sense to play the psp games that are on my ps3?

There are some games like Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, Metal Gear solid 5 where in addition to the vibration and the middle button, R2 doesn't work for binoculars either (MGS5). Have you tried the adapter in this specific game as well? Do you think the cheapest mayflash adapter is the same as this one you tried?

Brother please reply. What about the vibration function?

Does the headphone jack on dual sense work via wireless with the brook ?

can i connect 2 controller on 1 wingman adapter?

This is literally a cheaper option than to buy an oem sony controller, hope to get this soon. I need to enjoy some of the older fps games on PS3

I may just give this a try. Seems more worth it to get this than wasting money on DS3s that might not even work at all. Big question I have regarding this adapter though. Can the adapter support more than 1 controller for 2 player games? thanks in advance.

After initially pairing dualsense controller the first time with ps3 and wingman xe does it connect automatically everytime after that on start up or do you have to press buttons on wingman xe again.

Does this adapter work the same as the 8bitdo Retro Adapter V2?

i have buyed the adapted and tested, works perfect

I have the white adaptor ( PS3 to PS4 Superconverter) do you know if this will achieve the same thing? Good video by the way 👌🏼

So tumble works with dualsense on ps3?

Vibration work?

Question! Dose this ps5 Controler work well with Folklore on ps3??

Does it work rumble wirelessly on PS3?

Does the headsets work with Dualsense via Bluetooth on PS3 ?

Can you please give me the name of this Bluetooth adapter?

I can confirm that Wingman XE (pink) works on Nintendo Switch console on its latest firmware (V1.4g). Motion controls and vibration do work too. But for Nintendo Switch I prefer 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter over Brook Wingman XE. If your right analog stick is too sensitive, you just have to disable 3DVR Magnification. This function is enabled by default. If you want to disable it while your controller is connected to Wingman XE, you have to press: On DualShock 4/DuaSenese: Share+Circle. And if you want to enable it, you have to press: On DualShock 4/DuaSenese: Share+Square. I can't test it with Xbox controller because I don't have one, but I think you just have to press buttons on the same locations as on DualShock/DualSense controllers.

Does the adapter work for ps2 games on a bc model? 🙂

The bluetooth method is pretty good just mot for every game, i noticed when playing saints row two and ur flying a helicopter or plane, r1 and l1 dont work at all its wierd

I'd only recommend the Wingman XE if you intend to remap your buttons. If you don't care about that, any of Mayflash's Magic adapters should work.

Will this make Metal Gear Playable with a dualsense?

one question can you have two dualsense connected with a single adapter? using one wired and the other wireless

Mine works the menu but it won't work the game.

Xbox One/Series X do not use Bluetooth, this is probably why it does not work wirelessly. How does the SELECT button work with the adapter?

Wait, i thought you had to update the adapter just to use it. Is that true??

Can I invert aim with it?

Now this is a real solution, great video

What about start/select buttons?

Can you play the God of War HD collection’s and the MGS collection with this device? I know you can’t play them with PS4 or PS5 controller connected through Bluetooth normally and or weird.

It was worth every cent. I just need to turn on my PS3 manually, and turn on the dual sense and it will start working immediately

Whaaaaaaaaaat,wow is incredible.

this can works with a ps3 on backwards compatibility (ps2 disc game) mode?

Can you play PS2 games with the Dualsense controller? From what I know third party controllers won't work on PS2 games running on a PS3

does this work the same with using DualShock 4 controllers on PS3?

does six-axis also work?

Do l need two adapters if l wanna use two dualsences?

Dude, that's incredible. Could you do just one more test? Very few PS3 games had pressure sensitive commands, most notably the Metal Gear Solid games. MGS2 HD doesn't even recognize the dual shock 4 controller. MGS4 had a few commands for pressing firmly some buttons. Could you test the dual sense with MGS4 or MGS2? Thanks, bro, peace

Thanks, my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module won’t work so I need a adapter. Thanks
