Quoted from J-A-Z:Chris, would you be willing to take a look at my speech board? I dont know what to do with this one. I havnt replaced any ICs yet. I am not sure where to start.
Based one what Chris describes about the other problem board, it sounds like an issue related to sending the phenomes to the SC-01 speech chip. Speech is created in that chip by stringing together the sounds that make up each word.
Do you have another Gottlieb game or a Gorf, Q-bert, or wizard of wor video game to test the SC-01 in?
Q-bert's cussing is just a jumble of phonemes strung together.
