pixelpedant Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hey folks. So last weekend I put out that TEII allophone speech rendition of Video Killed the Radio Star (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4NOZCMi-HM&t=6m40s). And a couple other songs that might deserve a TEII treatment came up, one of which was Portal's "Still Alive". Well, the idea kind of grew in my head, and it turned into a parody version with ideas of its own. I give you "Still TI" - a TI-themed TEII Portal parody. Because the world needed that right now. That more than anything. Now more than ever: 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelpedant Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Incidentally, here are the files, in case anyone wishes to run them on their own TI-99/TEII. Though they're not doing anything special, in and of themselves. STILLTIFF is the TI BASIC loader/player (in TIFILES format). STILLTIFF.txt is that same program in Windows text. And SNDREP is the file from which it grabs all the allophone patterns (which the program will assume is in DSK1 barring modification). Putting SNDREP and STILLTIFF in DSK1 , followed by OLD DSK1.STILLTIFF and RUN should get it going.

+mizapf Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 If you want to try it in MAME, here is the DSK file. mame64 ti99_4a -cart termemu2 -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot3 speech -ioport:peb:slot8 hfdc -flop1 stillti.dsk This is a particular hard test for the quality of the Speech Synthesizer emulation, and I think it is quite close to the original. stillti.dsk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelpedant Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 ti99iuc shared with me an edit of the audio track in which the the synth is matched (as much as possible, under the circumstances) with Still Alive's backing track. So now, heres's that, as well. Song starts at 1 minute. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 You could if you like merge the synth with the backing track also played by a TMS9900 ... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 could be interesting but we should need the music without the vocal part ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
