We all know that the only dreameye activity its for the Video calling.
Wouldnt be cool to make an Application for Dreamcast that uses Dreameye to take Pictures and then save them to VMU.

Or make a homebrew game like the playstation eyetoy games.... With movements.

Sounds difficult?

Thanx for the reply..Do you think that making one will be easy to be make?
Well maybe sounds too tough.Dreameye didnt support by Sega like it should be.Well maybe through here support Dreameye for good.

Making a driver for an unknown, undocumented piece of hardware is very difficult. I have a Dreameye, and I had started trying to make a driver for it, but its very difficult to try to reverse engineer a driver out when you have no idea of where to start.

hmmmm but if search in the net maybe you will find something.The dreameye could work with properly network dreamcast browzer(and only in japn) i think.If the Dreamcast browzers can help you?
Forgive me if i say silly things but i have no knowledge at progamming.
By the way The whole idea is really a smash!!!

No, not really. Or that is, it would be possible if anyone had a nice logic analyzer, but those things are extremely expensive (afaik). The only other course would be to rip files from those games and reverse engineer them, which could be just as hard.

Hmmmm to get me understand it cause iam Greek.
You are saying that sega have made software for the Dreameye so you can use it when buying the product.
So you can convert/reprogram the files from the Dream eye software.Right?Or this is illegal?
sorry again if i do silly questions.

Quazar what do you mean by saying LOGIC analyzer?
