How to get iGo8 run on TP2 with TTS enable and 2009 NA Maps (step by step guide)

knlmwq · #1 (**permalink**) 10-06-2009, 05:24 PM

I am unable to get any voices. I have downloaded the latest sys.tx file and I have downloaded and installed the tts voices. I am able to select them but nothing happens.

One thing I noticed in the first post it says "Replace tts_log folder in iGO8/ with the new one" . Well I never had a tts_log folder to begin with so I just added the one that came with the download provided. Could this be the problem? Anyone able to help me? Thanks

To get TTS to work you need
1) the four dll files in your root igo directory
2) TTs_LOQ folder with files in your root igo directory (not all of the basics installs have this folder to start with)
3) Voice folder with files in igo8\content

Yes I have done this. I have even installed the SSK tp2 dynamic resource and the other memory program. I was still only able to get the voices to work one time? Is there any other things I can possibly do to get voices to work? Maybe at something to the sys.txt or download different voices?

I had a similiar problem when I was using an igo install that had a lot of add ons- I'm assuming there was some type of conflict with one of the preinstalled .dll's. I only got it to work when I used an install of igo that was very basic- here are the files/folders that were in my basic install in the igo folder
folders:
content
defaults
license

files:
branding.zip
data.zip
gpstmc.dll
igo8.exe
sys.txt
tahoma.tff
tahomabd.ttf

Try getting your igo folder slimmed down to the above and then reinstall the tts files- in addition make sure your /content/voice folder is empty before adding the needed tts files
hope that helps
