How to Install a PS2 Eyetoy As a Webcam for MSN
The PlayStation 2 or PS2 EyeToy is a webcam peripheral intended to be used by official PlayStation 2 games and utilities. Although Sony never released official drivers to make the EyeToy compatible with computers, unofficial drivers were released shortly after the EyeToy to make it compatible with the PC. The EyeToy functions like any other webcam once installed, allowing you to use it with instant messaging programs such as MSN Messenger for video and voice chat.
