How to turn your PS2 Eyetoy cam into a webcam

[Protoboy]

hey all, I was browsing around today and wondered "Hmm, my Eyetoy PS2 camera has a USB cable, I wonder if it's compatible as a webcam?" turns out I found that you CAN use it as a webcam!

I was intrigued at the high level of quality that the Eyetoy has as a webcam, it isn't choppy at all and the audio is great. There isn't any hacking involved with making it work on your computer, it's just that Windows (Or Mac, whichever you use) needs to know how to install it. If you have any question ask me, I think it's a cool tidbit of info for anyone that has a Eyetoy.

Sweet! Now I can give the rest of the world aneurysms by videotaping my ugly self!

Anyway, that does sound pretty cool.

Edit: Huh, it actually works.

Yeah, almost every minute that I'm not posting I've been IM Webcamming or I've been making Youtube videos with it.

Also, I find the second program that is in the temp. folder that you have to scroll down to find is better than the first program.

The usb headset also works for voicechat, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Actually, I didn't. Are you talking about the USB Headset that comes with SOCOM? Becuase I've never tried that accessory/game.
