Windows Vista and the EyeToy

Eyetoy.jpg


I wrote previously on eMagi about how to use your Playstation 2 Eyetoy camera under WindowsXP. Well the same process is required under Windows Vista. There has been some requests and since I’m now on Vista full time here is a walk through!

EDIT: It is NOT x64 compatible and I very much doubt such a driver will be created…
EDIT2: For faster support for any issues please post here and I will get back to you!

First up grab the drivers that I linked to here…

Old EyeToy - SLEH-000-30

Silver EyeToy -SLEH-00031

Once downloaded extract the files somewhere on your computer. Remember where you put it!

Now, plug in your EyeToy, Vista should ask you what to do.

Click on “Don’t show this message again for this device”

Now, right click on My Computer then click on Properties. Click on Device Manager.

Under the “Other Devices” header, you should see the “Eyetoy USB Camera Namtai” device. Right Click on this and click on Properties.

Click on “Re-install Driver” and then “Browse for my driver software“.

Eyetoy as webcam FAQ-2.jpg

Remember where you extracted the downloaded files earlier on? Well its time to click on Browse and point it to the folder! Once done, click on “Next“.

Eyetoy as webcam FAQ-3.jpg

Vista will ask a question to verify the driver. Click on “Install this driver software anyway“. It will then start installing. Just be patient!

Eyetoy as webcam FAQ-4.jpg

Once done you should see this screen, click on Close.

Eyetoy as webcam FAQ-5.jpg

A “sel3110″ window will pop up, just click on OK.

EyetoyFAQ07.jpg

Another window will pop up. If you are in Europe then click Yes for the 50Hz option. If you are in Japan/USA then click on No.

Eyetoy as webcam FAQ-6.jpg

Job done! You have now installed the Sony Eyetoy under Windows Vista to use as a webcam! To test it, open the folder that you downloaded here on eMagi and look for a file called “VIDCAP32“. Double click on it and you should see your Eyetoy working!

  2. Yas V says:

    Ah awesome, loads of people asked about this.

    So the real question is how are you liking vista ?

    I’m still with good ol’ XP can’t see me upgrading this year to be honest, I find it a lard ass.

    I like what they have done with office vista its quite impressive the new menu system, although i have to admit I haven’t used it for daily work. I was just helping the boss insert a text box in a word document.

  3. Murphman12 says:

  5. NeoBlade says:

    Yeah, I’m writing up an LG Shine FAQ type thing as well but I’m going to have one massive rant about Vista :P I’m typing it up now actually, just need to find some suitable pictures…

  6. NeoBlade says:

    Hi Murphman12, I’ll assume that since you said it automatically installs as a sound device then Vista is not giving you the first option in the walkthrough.

    Click on Start and in the searchbar type in “Device Manager” and open it. Alternatively you can Right click on My Computer > Properties > Device Manager.

    Plug in the Eyetoy and you should see it pop up. If not open the Imaging Devices tab and it should be in there. If it is, right click and Un-install. Click on Action then “Scan for Hardware Changes” and do the walkthrough again.

    If it is not in Imaging Devices, then find out where it was installed. You said sound devices then have a look there. Find it and Uninstall the device. Click on Action > Scan for Hardware changes and try the walkthrough again ^_^

  7. elderwin says:

    Anyway of making this driver x64 compatible for vista? It’s the only bit of hardware I’m having trouble with (Yes I know its not designed for Vista :])

  8. NeoBlade says:

    Sadly from what I know the way data is controlled in a 64-bit environment makes it difficult to easily reverse engineer drivers… I don’t have any first hand experience with the 64-bit version of Vista myself so cannot offer any advice.

    If it were possible to run it as a 32-bit device then you might have some luck but I don’t know if such an option is available to you Elderwin.

    Peazo tutorial!! xd It means that it’s very cool the guide :D:D:D:D Thanks, thanks very much :D I’m spanish and I were looking for it :D but I hadn’t found until this moment :D:D

  11. NeoBlade says:

    m-freak - I’ll assume you’re installing on Vista? After installation and you take it out, you might have to re-install it because the driver isn’t signed. Usually you don’t have to but it could be a Vista practise.

    Simply just keep the drivers somewhere on your computer and point it to the right place. If you don’t get the prompt for driver update then just follow the instructions from the Device Manager part of the walkthrough.

  12. Brandon says:

    wen i try to update the driver or reinstall the drivers it says WINDOWS WAS NOT ABLE TO INSTALL YOUR EYETOY USB CAMERA windows could not find driver software for your device

    However i alreaady downloaded the vista verison and extrated the files

  13. NeoBlade says:

    Hi Brandon ^_^ When updating/reinstalling the drivers did you follow these steps…

    Remember where you extracted the downloaded files earlier on? Well its time to click on Browse and point it to the folder! Once done, click on “Next“.

    Vista will ask a question to verify the driver. Click on “Install this driver software anyway“. It will then start installing. Just be patient!

    Do not let Vista automatically search for the drivers. You manually point to them instead. Also make sure you have downloaded the correct drivers for your Eyetoy. Tell me how it goes Brandon!

  14. shane says:

    im using vista with the black eyetoy and ive done all you have said but i get and error.

    This device cannot start. (Code 10) what is this and how do i fix it

  15. NeoBlade says:

    Hi Shane ^_^

    Which model EyeToy do you have? Look underneath the black model and see if it is SLEH-000-30 or SLEH-00031. Download the correct drivers for it and slap it on your desktop.

    Connect the Eyetoy and pop over to the Device Manager. Find the EyeToy > right click > uninstall.

    Pull out the Eyetoy, then plug it back in and follow the steps once more. Tell me how you get on ^_^

  20. NeoBlade says:

    Glad it works fine for you Mike ^_^

    Zappage04: You just need to point it to the folder itself, no need to select individual files and that. Point it to the correct folder and click on Next to continue with the installation.

    Don’t forget to extract the files beforehand as well! Leaving it all in the zip file will not work.

  21. Dan7712 says:

    Heya,

    I am running Vista and when I plug in my eyetoy (The old black one) It just pops up saying “Unknown Device” How do I get it working?

    Thanks.

  22. NeoBlade says:

    Hi Dan ^_^ Someone had a similar issue before (I should update my guide with an FAQ) but here is what you can do.

    Click on Start and in the searchbar type in “Device Manager” and open it. Alternatively you can Right click on My Computer > Properties > Device Manager.

    Plug in the Eyetoy and you should see it pop up. If not open the Imaging Devices tab and it should be in there. If it is, right click and Un-install.

    Click on the Action menu at the top then “Scan for Hardware Changes” and do the walkthrough again.

    If it is not in Imaging Devices, then find out where it was installed (where is says “Unknown Device”. Find it and Uninstall the device. Click on Action > Scan for Hardware changes and try the walkthrough again ^_^

    Tell me how it goes for you Dan!

  23. Dan7712 says:

    Thats for replying.

    I done that. But it still keeps on saying that it is an “Unknown Device” and it puts it in the “Universal Serial Bus Controllers” tab with the name “Unknown Device”

    Uninstalled it, Scanned for it, said it was unrecognized. Tried every USB port on my Laptop and it still said the same.

    I am using Vista Home Premium (UK Edition if it makes a difference) on a Toshiba Laptop.

    Anything else you can suggest? I could take screen shots in needed too.

  27. (SB)JD says:

    um hey :D when i extract the file and save it i can never find it?wheres the best place to save it to?? can you send me a PM to my email? thanks alot

  28. NeoBlade says:

    Hi Doug ^_^ Glad it worked for you too. Still unsure why there are some issues for some as I’d assume other than some other tech stuff all the Vista Versions would handle this installation the same.

    Thanks for the heads up too! I noticed that via Google if you just type in “Vista eyetoy” I’m listed too ^_^ Makes me happy that the guide works for people though.

    Hi (SB)JD, what program do you use for compression? I personally use WinRAR however 7.z is also very good, and free ^_^ Vista should have built in zip support so you just open the file downloaded and drag the contents out on your desktop. Once you do that carry on with the steps in the guide.

    Tell me how you get on though!

    @ Lilly - I’ve not tried it with MSN as of yet but will do tonight and will get back to you. You might have to run the MSN setup though to get it working beforehand. What version of MSN are you running?

    I downloaded both to be on the safe side, tried the SLEH-00030 one, couldnt detect it, then applied the SLEH-00031 (having followed your instructions) and it went all the way to the windows security (red windows box one) followed that, then after “installing” it, it says it cannot start, code 10.
    I’m using Vista, the thing is, I’ve succesfully isntalled it on XP a year ago, it just doesn’t work on my vista for some reason.

  68. NeoBlade says:

    Sorry for the late reply to some of these questions! You will get a faster response if you post on my forum here on eMagi as I try to put them all into an FAQ.

    In response to Dave:
    This is often a trait that I can’t reproduce 100% but know it exists. The best way to fix this is to plug the Playstation EyeToy back into the computer and then follow these steps…

    - Right click on My Computer then click on Properties. Click on Device Manager.
    - Under the “Other Devices” header, you should see the “Eyetoy USB Camera Namtai” device. Right Click on this and click on Uninstall.

    Now follow the install procedure once more and see if it works. I don’t know of a permanent fix as it seems its just how Windows handles this driver.

    Response to Divez
    it used to work but when i have reinstalled vista, it did not work any more no matter how i try. sorry for the bad english. vista regognizes it an audio device automaticly.

    Follow the same steps above to Uninstall the Eyetoy. Once done make sure to follow these steps…

    - Now, plug in your EyeToy, Vista should ask you what to do.
    - Click on “Don’t show this message again for this device”
    - Now, right click on My Computer then click on Properties. Click on Device Manager.
    - Under the “Other Devices” header, you should see the “Eyetoy USB Camera Namtai” device. Right Click on this and click on Properties.

    Now try following the guide once more.

  78. NeoBlade says:

    Sorry for the late response guys! Remember it helps to post on my forum for a quicker response as I’m building up an FAQ to help resolve any of these issues. Remember though that it is a hacked driver and not certified by Microsoft so you might have to re-install the driver every now and then.

    If you get a Device Error Code 10 then try this. Plug in the Eyetoy and un-install the driver. Pull oug the Eyetoy then reboot Vista. Plug the Eyetoy back in and then re-install the driver like before.

    I have had some friends that have had the Code 10 error before but upon re-installing its fine.

    @Dave: If you only see it as an Audio Device then it was not installed correctly. Please un-install and re-install and tell me how it goes ^_^

    @Robbie: Just extract the files on your desktop and when prompted point to that folder and it should work. No need to select sub-folders or anything.

  110. Jack says:

    I have followed your instructions above to the letter everything you say happens does, but when in Browse for drivers i selected the right folder with the right drivers (i have tried many times before) and yet my Vista says that the drivers are not there…
    This same thing has happend with many other websites telling me to install this extract browse to that folder every single time it fails on that last bit. I have Windows Vista 64 Home Premium, and thing you can tell me that will help.
    My email is Flap_Jack_Black@hotmail.com

    I have a bit of info for you.
    … I have the old black eyetoy model, and the SLEH-00-00-30 drivers wouldn’t be detected..
    I tried with the newer model’s drivers.. and it installed. :/

    Nice to see the comments back alive and working ^_^ Hopefully many people have managed to get it all working now with the guide!

  121. GamefreQ says:

    I’m using the Black SLEH 031 model of the eyetoy on the latest version of Windows VIsta Home Premium on a rather new PC. I follow all of the instructions, and everything checks out. I tell it that I DO NOT live in the 50 hz area, (Florida, USA) and it still doesn’t seem to work although it seems to have installed correctly. I click on VIDCAP32.EXE and it gives me this error: “capture device is not installed correctly”

  122. Mike says:

    Thank you so much:)

    A lot of things arent Vista compatible these days. I’m glad my EyeToy still is.

    Do you accept Pay-Pal donations? Because I’d love to donate to you. Keep up the great work:)

  125. Marleii says:

    heii guys,

    i managed to install my old eyetoy cam sleh-00031. i also get vidcap32 started.
    the only problem is, that when i start vidcap32, the screen where the eyetoy screen should appear, starts flickering.
    maybe you can help me?!
    thanks

  126. SaLeM says:

    The reason for the drivers not working on Vista is because they are mistaken at the links above (and so on all the other websites where this drivers are too).

    “Old EyeToy - SLEH-000-30″ <- - - - - - - - - -

    “Silver EyeToy -SLEH-00031″

    That’s wrong. The black (old) camera is the -SLEH-00031 one. I just found it out on my Eye Toy.

    Cya.

  127. Casey says:

    Hey.

    I downloaded this a couple of weeks ago and followed the instructions and it worked perfectly with msn and everything.

    it started stuffing up andm just being a blank black square. so i tryed to do stuff to help it and i was gonna click disable but i accidently clicked uninstall.

    now how can i install it again?

    my eyetoy is the black one.
    im on vista

  128. Casey says:

    *correction*

    i didnt click uninstall.

    i clicked CleanDev.exe in the eyetoy driver folder.

  129. David Z says:

    Hey, I have a Namtai Eyetoy black SLEH-0031, and i used it on my XP version of windows. i recently switched to vista, and it say Vista Home Basic 32bit. everytime i try to use the driver, it says “Windows was unable to install your EyeToy USB Camera Namtai” in bold letters, and then it says “Windows could not find driver software for your device. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit it’s website and check it’s support section for driver software.

    Now, i have followed all directions, but it just doesnt let me.
    is it not compatible with my Vista?
    Please respond -DZ.

    my mate said that on his computer my webcam just came up with an animated webcam with a cross on top of it why does it do this

  131. JBM says:

    i have a question about the driver file:
    in the download window it shows the file name, and i noticed the word “HACKED” in the file name.
    any reason on that?
    i wont download it until i find out why it says that
