0.31 [Darren Olafson]


Artwork available


NOTE:

- Clone Stratovox has better speech.


WIP:

- 0.183: Andrew Welburn added clone Speak & Help. Note: Sounds are inaccurate and needs some emulation attention to sound as shown in video referenced in driver.

- 0.178: MASH added clone Stratovox (set 2). Changed description of clone Stratovox to 'Stratovox (set 1)'.

- 17th February 2013: 3D ARCADE - More great models from Jibmums! "Project Taito II" represents the slightly earlier US Taito cabinet - Stratovox etc.

- 0.141u4: Siftware added clone Speak & Rescue (bootleg).

- 0.133u1: Renamed (stratvob) to (stratvoxb) and (spacech2) to (spacecho2).

- 0.129: Roberto Fresca added clone Space Echo (set 2). Changed description of clone 'Space Echo' to 'Space Echo (set 1)'.

- 14th May 2008: f205v and Corrado Tomaselli dumped Space Echo (set 2), board note: "space echo pt II logic board is entirely different to the space echo part I and care must therefore be taken to ensure correct logic board is fitted in exchange".

- 0.112u4: Zsolt Vasvari, Derrick Renaud and Jarek Burczynski added SN76477 noise RNG polynomial. Zsolt Vasvari fixed SN76477 sound in Speak & Rescue and clones.

- 0.110u2: Brian Troha added clone Stratovox (bootleg).

- 12th November 2006: Mr. Do - Stratovox artwork has been "optimized" by Ad_Enuff; much smaller file size (up to 80%) with no loss in quality.

- 26th August 2006: Mr. Do - Added Stratovox bezel from MAME.net and Mean Arena. Some of these decent stuff are so-so; some are REALLY good.

- 18th May 2002: MASH added clone ROMs to Mach Rider, Mega Zone and Stratovox.

- 0.57: Added clone Space Echo (bootleg 1980). Added 'Bonus Life' dipswitch. Removed 2nd coin slot.

- 16th August 2001: InsideOutBoy added Space Echo to the Route 16 driver.

- 0.53: Changed clone 'Speak & Rescue' to parent. Removed Stratovox (bootleg), it was identical to Stratovox (Taito license) with copyright notice removed.

- 0.36RC1: Juergen Buchmueller added SN76477 sound to Stratovox. Samples are no longer needed.

- 11th February 2000: Juergen Buchmueller added preliminary SN76477 analog/digital sound chip emulation to Stratovox and clone Speak & Rescue.

- 0.35b11: Nicola Salmoria added clone Stratovox (bootleg).

- 0.35b10: Changed visible area to 256x256.

- 0.34b1: Al Kossow added clone Speak & Rescue (Sun Electronics 1980). Added proms ($0, 100 - top and bottom bitmap), the upper 128 bytes are 0's, used by the hardware to blank the display.

- 0.31: Darren Olafson added 'Stratovox' (Taito 1980). Note: Route 16 and Stratovox use identical hardware with the following exceptions: Stratovox has a DAC for voice and a SN76477 for the player explosion and bonus ship sound effects.
