I am using version 1.53g under 1.3 kickstart on an amiga 2000 with 8 meg (one meg out of the nine is being used as a RAD disk). The problem I'm having is when using the Amiga voice when displaying a hi-res (640x400x4bit plane) screen. When previewing the Amiga text typed in the voice sounds fine, when runnning it however (the AmigaVision script using 'A.') the Amiga voice sounds like it's under water or worse, it crashes my system. This problem seems to NOT occur under 2.0... at least in my findings... recent version of AV that corrects this problem if it truly is a bug in the program? Any responses can be posted or can be sent to the following address... thanks in advance. Derek Lang<<<<< | "Get this clown trained. I want him in the games ACPS1072@Ryerson | until he dies playing.

The problem is that the narrator requires a lot of access to chip registers and fast interrupt response time to function properly. With a high-bandwidth screen, it just can't keep up. For real fun, try it after running nofastmem (so the narrator code is in chip mem too) on a 68000. > This problem seems to NOT occur under 2.0... at least in my findings... >recent version of AV that corrects this problem if it truly is a bug in the >program? If I remember right, the 2.0 narrator is improved in overhead and quality from the 1.3 version. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Disclaimer: Nothing I say is anything other than my personal opinion.
