ghettoandroid Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Has anyone been able to emulate the TI-99/4a with the voice synthesizer and have LaunchBox launch it in fullscreen mode? If so, what emulator are you using? I have the TI-99/4a emulated in MAME but I'm unable to get the voice synthesizer to work. I believe I have the voice synthesizer rom file in the right directory but none of the games that I've tried, that use the synthesizer, are outputting any speech. I'm starting to think that it's not possible to use the voice synthesizer under MAME 0.184. Edited May 30, 2017 by ghettoandroid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Okay I'm not 100% sure about this but for both Odyssey 2 and Intellivision there is voice software their command line argument in MAME looks like this when using voice intv -cart1 voice -cart2 odyssey2 -cart1 voice -cart2 Maybe something similar will work in your case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just tried "ti99_4a -cart1 voice -cart2" and also "ti99_4a -cart voice -cart" with no luck. I'll continue to try similar command arguments. Thanks for your suggestion though.

DOS76 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Yeah like I said they work for Odyssey2 and Intellivision maybe @spycatwould know he is pretty knowledgeable about MESS systems in MAME. Edited May 30, 2017 by DOS76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Command line argument in MAME: ti99_4a -peb:slot3 speech -cart Old thread I know, But I tried this after just doing a google search for speech, but the games won't load now. Really want to get speech working. I'm using batch files to run my games through MAME. Thats where im sticking this code. Also tried it in the default command-line parameters. Are you using batch files to run them? It's the only way I knew of getting TI99 to work in MAME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 mame64.exe ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot3 speech -cart rom_name This only works from the command line or a batch file if you change "rom_name" to an actual rom's name. In LaunchBox, you could instead edit your MAME emulator and in the Associated Emulators tab, do something like thisNote: the line above also sets the emulated memory to 32k. Also, don't put "mame64.exe" at the beginning nor the "rom_name" at the end as with a batch file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
