Mostly for Wizard of Wor
(This may not look like much but it took a very long time to come up with this stuff)
I took Mame and I turned on logging and played, and played and played (I turned on infinite lives). This printed the code/stuff that was suppose to go to the Votrax SC-01 Chip and I interpreted the sentences below. Yes, these maybe wrong! But I tried.
I then got to thinking that these but be somewhere in the ROM for Wizard of Wor (WOW) themselves. So I combined all the WOW ROM files and wrote a program to interpret the bytes into phonemes (basic sound units) and I looked and looked and I found them! (If it makes a difference, I do own the WOW and Gorf ROMS from the arcade games.)
I documented the phonemes in the ROM files in the C++ program I wrote.
The next step in the process is to create samples for the ones we don’t have. At this point I know what to send to a Votrax SC-01 to get the samples but I need a way to send them to the chip.
I found this circuit that was in September 1981 issue of BYTE magazine.
Now I need to build the circuit and hook to my PC and then sample the output.

(BTW: I got this from this page.)
You will need a Votrax sc-01 chip.
Then, just modify and use the above program to create the samples.
