S.A.M. for ATARI 2600 ?

[Lord-Chaos]

anyone tried to make something like the infamous "SAM" on the ATARI 800 for the 2600 ? You know , the voice-synthesis program (there is another ATARI 800XL program called SAM , but this is some sort of GUI).

 

It would be a good idea , since such voice synthesis allows large amounts of spoken text in a game without using too much memory.The quality of SAM isn´t very good , but it´s ok.

SAM "Software Automated Mouth" kicked ass on the C64 - I know I made many a crankcall with those (gotta love leaving that stuff on people's answering machines).

I think the problem is that you'd have to blank the screen during the speech parts. I would love to see a synth cart style speech tool

 

 

ATARI PRANK CALL GENERATOR

 

 

also while Im wishing, I want a 4 bit atari sample playback engine

 

THANKS!

The VecVoice device which hangs off the controller port can be used with any system with a digital joystick like the 2600 or 8-bits or Amiga.

 

Nobody's tried it yet, but I'm sure you could drive it with the 2600.

 

I think that's the best way to do voice synth on the 2600.
