Odyssey 2 Voice emulation

[joe35car]

Just curious if the voice feature can be added to games like KC's Crazy Chase and Timelord.

Command line in mame would be: mame odyssey2 -cart1 voice -cart2 timelord

Thanks

Yeah, I'll add support for it.

Thanks, Been a while since I have was last here with the new baby, Good to see you back also.

I was never away and congrats on the new baby.

Btw if you have a list of all games that support the voice module I can also pre-configure those in the module ini file.

What games work with The Voice of Odyssey²?

The original Voice games were: Sid the Spellbinder, Nimble Numbers Ned, Type & Tell, Smithereens, K.C.'s Krazy Chase, P.T. Barnum's Acrobats, Attack of the Timelord, Turtles, and Killer Bees. "Homebrew" titles that support The Voice include Mr. Roboto and Pong for Videopac and Odyssey².

All the ones in your list work fine in MAME.

is there an issues running all games with voice in cart 1 even if they don't support it? I mean in the real console you wouldn't remove the module between games ya?

So I did some testing, and both games that use and do not use the voice module launch fine from MAME if you use -cart1 voice -cart2 gamegoeshere. Wouldn't it be simpler to just modify the launch logic in the module to always use -cart1 voice for odyssey2 then to maintain a list of roms that do and do not support voice and use different command lines?

I updated my customized mame module file and was able to get voice to work. This command update launched both voice enabled and non-voice enabled games without issue on mame .170b.

		}Else If (mameID = "odyssey2")	; Magnavox Odyssey 2
		{	
			param1 := " -cart1 voice -cart2 """ . romPath . "\" . romName . romExtension . """"
			param2 := " -ui_active" ;Enable partial keyboard mode at startup
			If romName not contains (USA
				mameID := "videopac"

Since we're on the subject how about adding supercharger to MAME module also.

mame a2600 -cart1 scharger -cass offifrog

As of now this doesn't work in HL. I have to use the stella emulator.

Thanks

You should probably start a new supercharger thread to avoid this getting forgotten.
