 Re: A little riddle

No, the Magic Voice never worked in the plus/4, because the glue logic is different in the Magic Voice and the V364. Also, the C64 has a very awkward cartirdge handling, different from the plus/4. BTW, I could actually find the piece of code in the original Wizard of Wor, and also in Gorf, that likely did the speech... Since the former has a plus/4 port, it could be patched to have the same speech happy

About the point of emulation: it's preserving the original hardware in software what it's all about. At one point all Commodore equipments will malfunction and we're all but left here with the emulators (unless the originals survive mankind, of course wink ).

I could possibly make a T6721 module for VICE's C64 emulator, too, but first it needs to support the Magic Voice cartridge (it can't even handle 2 carts at the same time).

Just imagine, being able to use the T6721 means, one could play his own samples, too. This is 15 - or 9 - bit digital output, compare this to the maximum of 5 of the TED... One could do a rap song, use it as additional sound channel, or for high resolution digital playback.
