But these are definitely better than the NES and I like hearing examples of what the system is doing on a card-only basis.
You obviously haven't played the Sesame Street games for NES, it has the best voice samples coming from a cartridge.  :dance:

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Prove it or I will call you a whore.

Guyjin, it is possible that I picked the wrong sample from the SNES version.  THE Genesis and PCE versions have the same samples under the same numbers in the sound test, but the SNES version is all screwed up and you can't even switch numbers in the sound test with the d-pad.  This proves that the SNES is technically inferior to everything, even a Pontiac Grand-Am.

I don't have the real cart to record from (I know how much you demand this), so would it be ok for me to record from an emulator?

I can vouch for the incredible voice work in the Seasme Street games for NES.

They are the equal to anything I've heard on a Genesis or SNES cart, seriously.

I tried the Sesame Street Count game in an emulator.  Rarely is there more than one or two words said at a time.  Then they are pieced together like "you found....... .... ... four" and "find...... ..... .. ... ..... . four"

Anyways, here's some TurboGrafx HuCard voice clips-

http://www.superpcenginegrafx.com/TurboGrafxVoiceExamples.mp3



Those are cool, thanks for doing that.  I feel that the Genesis' best voices (in the Mp3 I provided) sound a bit cleaner.  These kind of "pop on" and "pop off".  But these are definitely better than the NES and I like hearing examples of what the system is doing on a card-only basis.  I certainly wouldn't be opposed to more MP3s of other systems' best voices like NES, SMS hell even the 7800 and Intellivision!  Oh I guess we should throw SNES in there as well, to be fair.


The problem is that like other effects and such, most developers either didn't put too much effort into HuCard development or were super stingy with the Meg size.

Although those were some of the better examples I found after a quick browse through Magic Engine, at least the best of them show a benchmark what can be done with real Turbo hardware. Who knows how good samples could've got.

Plus Champions Forever, SFII and TV Sports Football all have a large ammount of sampled audio, so chances are they didn't use the highest quality possible. I wouldn't be surprised if Champions Forever uses more space for sound than graphics.  :P

I was going to include the Mario voice sample demo, but the only computers in my house that work with my flash card are down.

Even though the Intellivoice is extra hardware like the Turbo CD-ROM, I don't think that many people will be any less impressed by the voice samples.  :)

Who cares about that. You know the quality itself was the crispest you've ever heard.

It's like the educational games for SNES starring Mario, with the little kids saying "Let's go to..........................................................Alphabet World!".

Except on the SNES it sounds like it was recorded in the Vatican...

LOL!

I will definitely agree that the voices in Sesame Street are absolutely amazing for the NES, but I think even the Turbo's best sound better quality-wise.

I just tried out the Sesame Street game on an emulator and the voice is amazing!

Way better than the lispy 'Turle Powor!' from TMNT.

The Sega Master System generally had pretty crappy voices, but the ones in Street Fighter 2 were really good, all things considered.

Was that captured from a real cart? Because it sounds a little different than when I play it on my PC in Meka.  :-k

No I used an emulator called SMS Plus on the Mac... more proof that you can't really trust emulation for accurate results.  So which emulator is wrong?  Impossible to say without the actual game.  Both are probably wrong.

EDIT: Joe only captures from real hardware, and MEKA is a shit emulator anyway, use KEGA Fusion.

Amd Joe, what's with the Casio VL-1 in the background!?  :lol:
