One of the more interesting aspects of the
WormCam is that it's not an officially licensed device. This means that instead of running through the game slot, the device has to go through the link port. While it's an interesting work-around, it hampers the device's quality. When the device it turned on, there's a considerable 'warm-up' time while the camera bypasses the GBA's normal boot sequence. This also seriously effects the transfer rate of the picture, making for a rather lengthy wait on nearly every aspect of the device's functions. Since this isn't an official device, it's also worth mentioning that you more than likely won't be able to use the camera to import things into future GameCube titles.
Taking pictures with the camera is easy, although this is contingent on many different factors. As with most photography, lighting plays a big part in how good your pictures look. Since the camera lacks a flash, pictures taken in low-light situations and indoors look washed-out and terrible. Even after adjusting the brightness settings in the device's menus, the image always looks dark and washed out. Outdoor pictures are a little better, but not by much.
I would love to show you a few of the images I snapped with the camera, but the software that is used to grab the pictures off the camera is just as bad. Each time I tried to upload the pictures, I was greeted with multiple error messages. It's pretty obvious that the software was rushed and not tested for every system. Anyone looking for further proof that the software was rushed needs only to look at the menus themselves. I don't know about you, but I've never heard of a device that had a 'Disconnnect' feature.
