WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.9.2 adds support for a number of webcams. In particluar the PS3 Eye, which requires USB2, but has a phenomenal picture. Many other webcams have been added, all the cameras from the gspca project should work (although no guarantees are provided). There is better support for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), as the NSLock console warning messages should be gone. The driver for the PAC207 has been improved in many ways, this chip is used in many cheap webcams.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

MACINEN  Doesn't work with MS LifeCam NX-6000 :( Macam says the cam is not connected. I'm using the latest Leopard (10.5.6) on a MacPro. Applications like PhotoBooth and Skype are working ok by the OS, but the picture quality needs tuning badly. The Picture is much overbright and lacks color (the white balance is way off). Please developer try to make macam work with nx-6000.

TANKKNIGHT  Works great with a USB PS3 HD Eye on my G4 MDD 1.42, but only generates a black screen on my G5 quad ... Of course I wanted the cam for the G5. I also tried a Logitech cam on the G5 with same result and based on web searches (that I did after I bought the cam) Macam doesn't work on the G5 quad.

FABIOFERRARI  I bought a Trust WB-3400 webcam in order to use it with a Mac Mini G4.

I installed the driver, the IChatUSBCam software, but the cam is not recognized.

Only the microphone works.

Can someone help me?

TSU.R  ...still awaiting for Macam to support the Philips SPC 610NC.

The SPC 610NC from Philips is a beautiful, tiny webcam specifically designed for notebooks.

BUBUMAC  version 0.9 (and above) still doesn't work with my Ezonics camera (based on a Sonics one)

Fortunatelly, I found a driver on Internet called SN9C102 Driver OSX 1.0.dmg that works perfectlly.

BRUTHIAUX  The driver works fine with my 3-year old Creative Labs N10225 / PD1130 camera. Thanks for this! Color and resolution are more than good enough for my needs (recording lectures for college students). It doesn't make me look like a movie star, but I'm beginning to suspect the problem is me, not the technology. :-)
