Hi

I'm trying to fix sound in a Jungle Lord - williams sys 7 -
Speak are missing in the game.

Diagnostics menu plays sounds 0-4.
And when pressing the test button, all sounds and speaks are played.
Also tried to ground the sound select header pins one by one and sounds are played. (guess test menu does about the same)

Dont know exacly how its supposed to sound
But when I start a game, I get something like Fight ....... and nothing more.
In game allmost no speak are said - think some roaring and you win.
Background sounds are normal I think.

I have replaced the ic10 pia from the sound board, but thats not it.

Any idea what to test - I have a scope.

Regards

Why? If the sound board makes all the sounds when you test it, then likely it's not a problem on the sound board.

Well - I mounted the soundboard from my Black Knight in the JL and when starting the game, I got a lot of BK speak, so I thought that the sounds are triggered correct from driverboard.
Also tried the JL soundboard in BK and still not much sound.

btw
The soundboard in the jungle lord is a mess - a previous owner has resoldered all (I mean all) solderpoints and used way to much solder and even installed all roms etc direct in the sound and speak board without sockets! (omg)
So I cant swap roms and test for sure that the problem is soundboard or driver.

(Luckily the guy didnt touch the other boards in the game

Meanwhile I did some more testing!
programmed a new eprom for the sound board and tested the BK soundboard in the JL with the JL speakboard - still only "fight.." and "Can.." when I start a new game - apparently the soundboard is not it.

Then I installed the BK soundboard with JL rom and JL speakboard in my black knight with JL gameroms.(Easier than removing mpu and driver boards - did remove coil connectors)
Still the same.
Guess that means that the driverboard is not it and that the speakboard is probably the gulity one.

Next step is to try the BK speakboard with JL speakroms, but I cant program 2532 and the original are soldered direct into the board.
I'll can make some 2532 to 2732 adapters and try that.

I'll get back

Can you fight in jungle

Well got some 2732 speech eproms made and 2532-2732 adapters.

Now I have JL speech with the bk boards.

Problem is the speech board.
Never would have thought when the sounds plays at the soundtest button.

I might spend a little looking while trying to fix it. (just for curiosity and learning)
But the board is quite hacked with traces fixes etc and I just got a good offer for a used soundboard + speechboard, so I guess I'll do that and keep my boards clean.

Regards

This is what Im talking about

Yeah - some of the worst I have seen!

I have just bought another soundboard/speechboard from a nice guy in germany!

Even if its allmost working Ill rather get a new one so I dont have to look at it
Will probably try to fix it later today - allways nice to have working bords to test with
