Summary MESS-specific 08342: spec128 [cobrasar and clones]: Voiceover missing in Cobra's Arc [spectrum and clones]
Description Wherever the voiceover should start talking, MAME only makes a pop sound.
Steps To Reproduce -Load the spec128 core.
-Press Enter for the Tape Loader.
-Activate UI controls with Scroll Lock.
-Press F2 to load (throttle as needed).
-Once loaded, press T to start the game with Keyboard controls.
-After the text appears on screen, a mechanical voice should actually read it aloud.
Additional Information If I remember correctly, this may be due to the tape saving sound, which is audible on real hardware, not being hooked up in MAME.

Assuming this doesn't need additional ram or hardware that isn't default to the launched machine - I can confirm.

Out of curiosity, I created a new WAV tape in MAME and started recording while the game was running. The speech is indeed there as I suspected, just not hooked up to anything audible.

I've attached said WAV tape converted to MP3 (Warning: May sound a bit loud).
