GOSOF 

Gottlieb Soundboard on FPGA


Features:

- NEW: hardware v2.30 comes with all parts in THT. Easy self soldering, easy part changes

 - emulation of ALL System1 soundboards (Note: works in general  but at the moment the sound is different from the original)

- emulation of ALL System80 & 80A soundboards (including speech)

 - emulation of early System80B soundboards (see list below)

- speech capabilities without the 'rare' SC-01 speech chip

- 5Volt only, no additional powersupply needed

- easy update of software via 'USB Blaster'

The speech is generated via a cheap MP3 player device, giving the opportunity to change the speech easily.

v2.30 preassembled by JLCPCB
v2.30 complete (with additional parts from below)

Parts needed

The PCB will be preassembled with all components by JLCPCB except the following parts. I added an example link to aliexpress shop where I ordered succesfully in the past.

DFPlayer Mini 

TDA7267

Altera CycloneII EP2C5T144 (include, at least one, programmer (USB Blaster))

Two standard micro SD cards ( one for the speeches in DFplayer and one to store the Gottlieb rom code for the FPGA) with minimum 1GB space each.

additional parts needed

- DFplayer and SD card is only needed for games with speech

- Gottlieb rom code need to be stored on the micro SD card in the 'micro SD shield' Adapter. Special format needed, have a look to the user manual!
