A lovely comment from Mark Robertson on the Essential Mix page:

Once again i am not a fan of this style of music. We need some more trance on the essential mix, although Paul Oakenfold and Gabriel & Dresden are playing soon they will most probally play progressive of housey. More trance please!”

Using your EyeToy as a webcam on your PC

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

Now I’ve moved to WordPress I’m reprinting my most popular page, so that comments still work (comments now disabled on the old blog).

http://support.dlink.com

Use drop down boxes to locate drivers for;
D-Link DSB-C310 (Rev B1)
Download driver from D-Link

Unzip to a folder
Go to folder, locate OV519.inf,
Right click file,
Properties>Untick ‘Read Only’

Open OV519.inf in Notepad
Edit>Replace

Replace
VID_05A9&PID_8519
with
VID_054C&PID_0154
Select ‘Replace All’
Save OV519.inf

Then, plug your Eye Toy into the USB port, wait for it to be recognised and
install the drivers’ in the normal way using the Have Disk option at the
prompt and the modified OV519.inf file.
(double check which drivers you’re installing as my Win2k attempted
to install its own driver)

During the installation, you’ll get a system box with ???? in it…this is
the 50Hz/60Hz option setting. I set it to 50Hz for now.
That’s it.
The software to view the webcam output is included in the driver pack…
AMCAP.EXE, Options>Tick Preview
You should now get a picture of whatever your EyeToy is pointed at.

UPDATE: Well, just tried it, and it works, on XP with SP1 installed…

UPDATE 2: Fuller information on this procedure can be FOUND HERE

UPDATE 3: Please note that I am NOT providing a free tech support service for getting your eyetoy working on your PC so complaining that it doesn’t work and asking for help will get you nowhere.

A move away from my previous blog (Moveable Type) to WordPress, which is properly free… and doesn’t suffer from comment spam.
