Bruce Tomlin Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Only with a 7800. Cartridge audio is supported by the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-T Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I would pay a premium to get a 2600 Voice cart from you. I am currently working on a music album featuring vintage synthesizers, and to be able to include VCS-synthesized sounds would be a dream come true. If you end up having the cart produced in a limited fashion, please let me know. I'd be interested in buying at least three (two for backups, and one for use). Thanks, and good luck on this awesome project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfighter1314 Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 OK, I got the Adventure VSM hack up on the website. You can view it at http://www2.hawaii.edu/~ncook/vsm_adv.mpg but I must apologize in advance. The video is VERY poor quality because I had to video record the television. I could have used the video outs on my TV, but then I couldn't utilize the camcorder microphone. Much mahalo to Nukey for helping me out with the victory sequence - that guy knows this game like the back of his hand! Hope you enjoy this version of Adventure, or should I say "Impossible Adventure".... -s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 That is great. I think the voice really adds alot to the game. I can't wait to get one of these!! -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesmooth Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Joe, the Emic Text-to-Speech Module is a way cool device! Can it do different voices too? This would really make for a cool project with the joystick port - no limitations on recording sizes. I didn't go the text to speech route mainly because of cost. As it stands, I can make one of these modules now for about $25, not including the joystick housing. (Of course, I try not to cannibalize working joysticks!) This includes the sound chip which can be reprogrammed. Nope, it can't do different voices. You can adjust the speed and pitch of the output, though, so you could switch between different sounding speech, but I wouldn't really classify that as different voices. It is a little pricey compared to your solution. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Just watched the video. Man this is truly cool!!!! If you release the plans or start selling them I will definitaly make/buy one. I think this would be perfect for Atwwong's Haunted Adventure hack, making a perfect game even better! _Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 So let me get this straight... You can assign ANY sampled sounds to this thing? How much room on a cart does it take? I mean, on the adventure example you had... How much more room was used on the cart? Is it the cart that holds the sample? 2nd question, ANY INFO on when this will be available? I've not seen one thread where the guy who created this has given ANY release info... - D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Ok, ignore my second question... Went back and rechecked the thread... Thanks! - Later! - D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 That Adventure video is sweet. I would definitely buy something like this if it was sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I smell a new version of Thrust. "Thrust + Double Platinum Edition Voice Enhanced" Seriously though I love Thrust. -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I think this would be perfect for Atwwong's Haunted Adventure hack, making a perfect game even better! _Tim I just found this thread (what a slowpoke I am)! It would be cool to add voice samples or other sound enhancements to Haunted Adventure (I wanted an evil, echoing laugh in the sequel) or any other homebrew or hack. Awesome job!

wrenchien Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 wow.. it's amazed me what you could make out of those old joysticks... amazing, indeed. something like that , in combine with a keyboard, could allow you to make robot like speech samples for games.. real old school style.

starfighter1314 Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 Not sure if there is still interest in this project now that the AtariVox is out. But if you want to make your own voice synthesis module, I posted some instructions on my Web site (http://www2.hawaii.edu/~ncook/vsm.pdf). It will probably cost about $30 in parts. I will program the ISD chip for anyone at no cost - I just need the sound files and chip. Have Fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
