Hi Dark, Hey you know I worked my lug nuts off for six months to make Mach 1 tts. So you had six months to get caught up on all of my files. Well except for the ones that I put up last month that people had sent to me. But I have had Mach 1 tts in mind every since I learned the joystick

Hi Charles, But the thing is, with the new sound scheme of Mach 1 tts, the sounds tell you which way the next turn will turn and how close you are getting to the start of that turn. Not just driving down a straightaway and all of a sudden a noise tells you that you have just started into a

Hi Chris, It is probably not a winkit problem, but more of a sapi5 problem. I do believe that Jaws is now using the sapi5 voices in a different way than my games do. But anyway I hope that one of the below fixes will help get your friends sapi5 voices working again. The first thing that I

Hi Valiant, All of the sounds in Mach 1 tts should be panning back and fourth as you move left or right in the straightaways or get close to the walls in the turns except for your engine. It does not pan as you are sitting in your car. You can play Mach 1 tts ok even if you can not hear

Hi Josh, I have a Saitek ST290 Pro joystick. I like it very much for Puppy 1 and Pong. It works for games like Mach 1 tts and Top Speed as well, but is a bit strange driving a car with a single stick joystick rather than a steering wheel. I have also tried it with other blind accessible

Hi Charles, I will make it an option to use either the crowd sound or the wind sound, but you know the crowd or wind and the other new sounds are your main navigation sounds and thus it is more important to hear those than say your own engine. BTW The NASCAR drivers say that they can hear
