Easy peasy! First, make sure your RetroPie is up and running. Then, connect your PS3 controller via USB and power on the system. Open RetroPie Setup, go to Manage Packages, then Driver, and install the 'ps3controller' driver. After that, configure your controller under 'Configure Input.' Unplug the USB, press the PS button, and you're all set!
