Unfortunately, a PS3 controller won't directly work on a PS2 because the PS2 lacks Bluetooth support and uses a different port for wired connections.

Nope, PS3 controllers aren't compatible with PS2 consoles. The PS2 uses the DualShock 2, which has a different connection type.

I tried using a PS3 controller on my PS2 once鈥攏o luck. You need the PS2 DualShock controller for it to work properly.
