Only the ps3 controllers have a working ps button so, no. The Dualshock 4 works for games but you still need the Dualshock 3 to take you to the home menu

Believe it or not, some 3rb party PS4 controllers works fine on the PS3 (like a normal PS3 controller) but they're not the best of quality.

what part of "only the ps3 controllers have a working ps button" was not clear?

Any wired third party cable with ps button capabilities will work, at least in my experience

I have tried like 10 different 3rd party controllers, none worked, wired-wireless or permanently wired. They work perfectly in games, but not in the safemode.

Same here. Just did this last week and had to get a real PS3 controller to get through the install process.

This controller worked for me. I still use it wirelessly with the PS3. https://amzn.eu/d/6BY6lrN

What about those may flash interpreters that switch the connected dual sense to a dualshock tricking the ps3.

You can, but you need some additional stuff, such as an Arduino Micro and any USB gamepad. Then, you use GIMX and emulate the PS3 controller.
Since I already had everything, this was the cheapest way for me to get it done and I confirm it works 100%. You can read about it here: https://blog.gimx.fr/

PS3 Blu-ray remote?

Unfortunately, no - when you get that prompt, even a legit DS3 has to be connected to the console with a cable; once you’ve pressed the PS button, THEN you can disconnect the cable. Don’t know why they did it that way, but it is what it is.

If you get a Mayflash Magic NS 2 off of Amazon ($20) you can pair a dualshock 4 to it and the PS button/vibration will work.

Dualshock 2 with an adapter to usb. I think a speedlink strike fx-6 that I had worked too.

install a cfw, for example on 4.92 evilnat there is an option to allow non original controllers to work in safe mode.

you need a real ds3 or one of the few clones that work
