I'm sorry nothing worked.  I know from experience this is in bad taste, but I wanted to point out the pink elephant in the room, since nobody else has.  Namely, that, imo, this whole thread is a little weird, since tts is something rockbox should, arguably, be doing on the fly.  99% of the needed code is open source.  and, i mean we are talking 1978 tech.

this chip, by comparison, is a monster, at over 200 mhz.  patents have long since expired too.  i know, again, it was in bad taste for posting this yet not doing it myself instead.  sorry. i am just too busy.  I guess we all are. never forget rockbox is beta/work in progress/under construction, etc.

Cheers
Jason
