Important Notes
The information in this manual was correct at the time of going to print, but some minor changes may have been made late in the game's development. Screenshots for this manual have been taken from pre-completion screens and may differ slightly from those in the finished game.
Throughout this manual, the term "Memory Card" is used to describe the Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2). Memory Cards designed for use with the PlayStation® format software are not compatible with this game.
Saving Game Data
To save game settings and progress, insert a Memory Card into MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. You can load saved game data from the same Memory Card or any Memory Card containing previously saved games.
Using the EyeToy™ USB Camera (for PlayStation®2)
Insert the EyeToy™ USB camera (for PlayStation®2) into either the upper or lower USB connector on the front of the console. The LED power indicator (blue) should be on.
•
Place the camera on top of or immediately below your television and stand back between 5 and 7 feet.
•
Rotate the manual focus ring to focus the lens. Try to ensure that your body shape is clearly defined on the screen.
•
If your television is positioned on the floor, simply tilt the EyeToy™ USB camera (for PlayStation®2) for extra elevation. Alternatively, swivel the camera base around to reposition the camera.
•
Players of different heights should tilt the angle of the camera for extra convenience. DO NOT move the whole camera, just tilt it gently.
•
Cover the camera lens to exit the current game.
•
By all means find a waving style that suits you, but it is recommended to wave with your fingers apart as this creates more motion feedback.
•
Make sure that there is no movement in the background as background motion may hinder gameplay.
•
Make sure you have enough room to play. Consider the space around you and watch out for shelves, doors, walls, pets and above all, other people.
Enjoy playing EyeToy™: Play and stay in control!
Lighting Recommendations
The EyeToy™ USB camera's ability to detect movement depends upon there being a significant difference in lighting between you and your background. Ideally, you should be lit from the front, as evenly as possible.
•
A single, central light of between 60 and 100 watts between you and your television should be sufficient. Any additional light pointing at you will also be beneficial.
•
If your on-screen image looks too dark, switch on all available lighting in the room and point them at you.
•
The red LED on the EyeToy™ USB camera (for PlayStation®2) will blink if the room is too dark.
•
If your on-screen image looks too bright, close any curtains and use artificial light instead. Where artificial light is the primary source of illumination, concentrate all available light on you.
•
If possible, avoid low-energy bulbs and fluorescent tubes as these tend to flicker, which may be detected as movement by the EyeToy™ USB camera (for PlayStation®2).
•
Do not set up the EyeToy™ USB camera (for PlayStation®2) so that the camera is pointing directly towards a strong light source for example, a window with direct sunlight streaming through it will affect the camera's initial calibration.
•
Even with daylight providing the primary light source, the introduction of any extra artificial light directed at you, will always be beneficial.
So now that this is all clear, it is time to get started.
