How to Use PS3 DualShock to Play PSP

The PlayStation 3 (PS3) Dualshock controller has evolved into a wireless Bluetooth device that eliminates the need for pesky wires and allows a wider range of motion for the player. Because of the wireless technology, your PS3 Dualshock controller can also be synced and used for gameplay with the PSPgo. Unlike the PSP version, the PSPgo has the ability to discover and connect with other Bluetooth-enabled devices such as the Dualshock controller.
