[Blindapple] TexTalker GS bootup wav file

Hi:

 

With Davex’s “conp” command, it is possible to slow down the speed.  You could then speed it back up after you read a floppy.  I’ll see if that makes a difference.

 

 

The command to slow down the speed is:

 

Conp -fn

 

Then, to speed it back up:

 

Conp -fy.


As far as the basic thing, right now, I have an Echo II in slot 4, and an Echo II Plus in slot 5.  I can go into basic.system then run the regular textalker and it works.

 

As to Eamon, why would you need a IIGS to have the Eamon adventures in one place?

 

Cheers.

Hi,

 

Unfortunately the GS emulation still has some problems in MAME. Accessing 5.25 inch disks is extremely slow. One reason is that if I recall correctly, MAME isn't slowing the processor down to 1 MHZ while accessing 5.25 disks like the real hardware does, and that's doubtless messing things up. Also, the fast system speed is a bit faster than it is on real hardware. Don't know if they fixed the Control Panel, but the realtime clock always defaults at power-up to midnight on January 1, 1904, the earliest time possible.

That would be nice if the gs thing works, so we could have the eamon adventures in one place.

Hi,

 

That sounds like MAME's Apple IIgs support has gotten at least a bit better than it has been for years. I'll have to try it again.

I don’t expect much.

 

I don’t even know if I’m doing things the preferre way.

 

But, this seems to be consistent.

 

Let you all know what else happens.

Hi,

Looks like you’ve got the hard part working.

Now that you’ve got speech you should be able to read files off of disks if the system will allow you to mount them.

As far as getting any real use out of it unless you are trying to learn how things were done with some old source code you aren’t really going to be able to connect the vm to anything.

It is cool that you were able to get the thing talking though.

 

Tom

Hi list:

 

Give a listen to this 1 min 25 sec Wav file.  This was achieved in MAMEUI running in Windows 10.

Not sure what else I can do with it, but, we’ll see.
