Play iOS Devices Using Bluetooth P3 Controller
One Of the only gripes I have with iOS gaming is the controls. One of the reasons to Jailbreak iOS 7, alone. This can be a great obstacle especially for anyone with a handicap, such as myself. However, being one armed hasn’t kept me from enjoying many great titles on iOS. If anything it’s added and aided in my ability to play. Many of the titles on PS3 are very difficult to manipulate on the controller were the touch screen has allowed me to play.
Well enough ranting and we will get down to the reason you stop by. Instructions for connecting the PS3 to iOS devices is very simple. Follow the instructions below as we show you in the video too.
