Software Speech Synthesizer for the 2600

This is amazing!! I remember playing around with S.A.M. so much back in the 80's on my C64. So much fun trying to get it to say things!

 

I think this will be very useful, especially if you're able to package it so people can incorporate it into their own games. Or if you can implement it as an add in module for batari Basic somehow.

 

I'll be showing this off on the next ZeroPage Homebrew Twitch stream on Tuesday!

Cool project! :) I liked your innovative research on your site delving into 1920's retro tech; the circuit bending example with the two oscillators.

 

Amazing use of that pioneering technology in it's emergent state to create and apply those optimizations over SAM to get the footprint under 4k. Very interesting read!

First attempt at a S.A.M./MacInTalk speech synthesizer for the 2600. 

Lmk if this is interesting or useful to anyone and I will spend some time to clean it up and create tooling to make it more usable.

Hello,

 

I wish to add voices to my new homebrew game Stratovox 2600.

 

The game was made in batari Basic using the DPC+ kernel.

I think that your speech synthesizer will be useful for that.

 

Can you provide me some info of your software ?

Let me know.

 

Thanks

 

Carlos
