There is no Tuts outline but pretty straight forward,This is how I did mine.

1. Drill a hole in the Umd door. ( REMOVE UMD DRIVE )
2. Sand the Hole, to smooth-en it.
3. Disassemble psp Go cam.
4. Solder all the 5 pins from the Cam and Usb Mini 5 in the top of the motherboard, using 30awg Kynar wire
5. Put a switch in between the power points, And your done.

P.S this is for phat and slim, but the slim has that free space on the left, which I never used, this would stop from using up umd space.

There are no tutorials the way See it, as I done it from knowledge.

i dont know how to do it or know a thread about but i do know the only cam that will work is the psp go cam. I could also use a thread on this mod.

actually we kinda do have a tutorial for this mod, it even includes links to disassembly tutorials...

One word of warning: You can not use any camera other than an official PSP accessory camera (Chotto Shot or GoCam, or whatever it is called in other countries) for this mod. not just any camera will work, and changing out the optics from another camera will not work either.

Here is the link: Internal Chotto Shot Mod

I never knew, about the tutorial, but the reason why no cam will work is because its, a slave device and so is the psp, and the go  cam has drivers to be compatible, the psp.

well, yeah, kinda...

Can i use 22gauge wire?

[jrfhoutx]

I suppose you could but considering the difference in size between 30AWG and 22AWG it might make things a little more difficult to route the wires and fit them in the spaces provided and the difference in conductor size could affect operation. 30AWG is not expensive and it's easily found from online stores (like mouser and frys) as well as in most retail stores like frys and radio shack...
