Can't use Safe Mode on your PS3 due to a lost, broken, or maybe a never owned OEM DualShock 3 controller? There's a workaround for that which works for ALL models of the PS3 without any modifications required! This will show you how to take an off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi Pico W board, flash it with the OGX-Mini firmware, and configure it to work as a PS3 controller. Within a few minutes you'll have an adequate DualShock 3 substitute capable of being used within Safe Mode!
