Jack Rabbit incomplete speech in MAME
#383847 - 10/01/19 02:32 AM


Hi
I've found this pcb recording:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXxx8hlRPXs

According to the author's comment, the speech is incomplete due to a broken component in the pcb that he hasn't replaced properly. Anyway, the audio is longer than in MAME

In this pcb:

"Hi there, I'm Jack Rabbit. I love carrots and I'm very hungry. Would you......" (it is cut here, maybe he was gonna ask something like "would you help me?)



In MAME:

"Hi there, I'm Jack Rabbit. I love carrots and I'm very hungry." (Stop here)

I've tested very old MAME versions and it has always stopped there.


I don't know wheter this is a known issue or not, that's why I'm not opening a report in mametesters.org

While not officially logged, it is known. It is flagged as having incomplete sound and that covers this instance. Given the youtube video, it may be a different model of TMS52xx being used than expected as the current MAME pretty much matches behavior he shows.

It may be a speed/timing issues as detailed with the streamer LordBBH having some fun tooling with the speed of the TMS - finding a sweet spot in 113-115% overclock:

No official word as to how to fix properly, but I can assure you it is known.

I'll add (if a bit late) that allowing users to experiment like this is exactly why I added the option to overclock sound devices.

Coincidentally, I've been hungrily eating some carrots today.
