For years, the CL-Eye driver from Code Laboratories was the gold standard, but its development ceased, leaving users stranded on newer operating systems. Enter the —a community-driven, open-source framework designed to keep this legacy hardware alive on modern 64-bit systems. Why Use a PS3 Eye in 2026?
