Star Wars Arcade "Vocals"

Page 10 of the operator manual. I'm not sure what Wedge means though.

LUKE: RED 5 standing by
LUKE: R2, try and increase the power.
LUKE: This is RED 5, I'm going in.
LUKE I'm hit but not bad, R2 see what you
can do with it.
LUKE: I've lost R2.
LUKE: I can't shake him!
DARTH: I'm on the leader.
DARTH: The FORCE is strong with this one.
DARTH: I have you now!
DARTH: Stay in attack formation.
BEN: Use the FORCE, LUKE.
BEN: Remember, the FORCE will be with
you, always.
BEN: LUKE, trust me.
BEN: Let go ,LUKE.
HAN: Yahoo! You're all clear, kid.
HAN: Great shot kid! That was one in a
million.
WEDGE*: Look at the size of that thing!
R2: Yes.
R2: No.
R2: I agree.
R2: Sequence completion.
R2: Ouch!
R2: That really hurt.

From the manual as noted.

Whats funny is the R2 quotes are translated for us.

Also, i find it amazing the the voices are not digitized, but coded bit by bit. Quite and accomplishment.



STAR WARS game play is enhanced by 13 special sound effects
and by actual character voices communicating with
the player.

Don't know what Wedge means.. Perhaps you should school yourself on the first movie.

Wedge Antilles, AKA Red 2, is Luke's friend

Red 2~ "Look at the size of that thing!"
Red Leader~ "Cut the Chatter Red 2!"

After the trench sequence... after you shoot the exhaust port and your flying away from the Death Star just as it's about to blow...

Normally you hear:

HAN: Great shot kid! That was one in a
million.

...has anyone heard anything else? All of a sudden I am noticing a couple of sayings that I SWEAR I don't remember it saying at that point... I'm like 90% sure...

One saying is:

DARTH: The FORCE is strong with this one.

I seem to remember it saying that BEFORE you shoot the exhaust port... not after?

There is another but I can' t seem to pinpoint it.

I want to be 100% sure these vocals are NOT suppose to trigger at that point before I report an issue with my recently installed multi-kit.
 
I'd have to play again, but I believe Darth say the force is strong, if you use the force in the trench, before you shoot the port.

Could be wrong.

Dang that's embarrassing. Has it really been that long since I've seen this movie?
 
Here's the ESB vocals

LUKE: That Armors too strong for blasters.
LUKE: Go for the legs, it might be our only chance os stopping them
LUKE: use your harpoons and tow cables

C-3PO: Between ourselves, I think master Luke is in considerable danger
HAN: DROID of some kind

VADER: General Prepare your troops for a surface attack
VADER: The Force is with you
VADER: He will join us or die
VADER: Set your course for the Hoth System
VADER: That is the system, and I'm sure Skywalker is with them

EMPEROR: He could destroy us
EMPEROR: The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi

DERLIN: Shield doors must be closed
RIEEKAN: Start the evacuation
TRENCH: We have spotted Imperial Walkers

They didn't include them in the ROTJ manual or I would have added that here too.

BTW if you use the force Darth says "the force is strong with this one." If not I get "Way to go kid"
 
The one in a million quote is infrequent on mine, not sure if there is some logic to when it plays. But to answer you - i never heard anything other than that quote during the sequence.

Vadars force call out if right before i pump some lead into his exhaust port.
 
There is a George Lucas rom mod where Darth Vader says "Nooooooooo" right before the death star blows up.
 
If you want to hear the Star Wars sound board in test mode I made a video when I was troubleshooting my Star Wars sound board.


Sam i bought a spare star wars board set from a member here and when i went to test it today i am getting the same thing. I get load pops in the speaker in test mod and no voices, i get all the other sounds. I tried your test trick with the jumpers on the sound board and was getting the same results as you. Did you ever find a fix for this?

Thanks for post your video's others have been helpful as well,

Braido...

And after that unfortunate experience between Wedge and R2, new legislation was soon brought forth making it illegal to molest a droid

Yes I sure did get my sound board fixed.
It's all in this post complete with more videos :D

Wile I am sure the no speech problem can be caused by other things, in my case it was a bad IC at 2F (CD4069 or 74C04))which supply's the Speech synthesizer chip with it's clock signal. If you have a logic probe you can test the pins of that chip which I did in my video. I showed what each pin did on a working board and a board missing the speech. You may also want to put the Speech synthesizer chip at 1C/D,in a working board just to rule out a bad chip.
Let us know what you find out, I am sure we can help you figure it out.

Where do I download that ?? Would love that :)

Yes, it still puzzles me how the guys at Atari managed to make a voice synth that normally puts out very monotonic sounds reproduce the voices AND sounds like R2, the screeching sound of the Tie's and Chewbacca....
They poored everything out of that thing possible for sure, I guess the TI guys must have been baffled (if they ever heard it).

We are so spoilt by sampling stuff that most people who play and don't know assume these are sampled sounds too...when I try to explain how thes voice synths work I get either puzzled or bored looks....o well as long as we know they did some magic.

Sam, i fixed the board i bought from the KLOV member by replacing the bad IC at 2F. I also had another sound board with the same problem. I also cahnged the IC at 2F on it and both now work great. Thanks for posting this fix i wouldn't have been able to fix my sound board with out it!
