MTH-R/K Proto 1 sound chips

Joe-

Which subway car sounds are you trying to duplicate? MTH has been re-releasing subway cars with Proto2, so that might be an easier way to go. To the best of my knowledge, Proto1 and Proto2 sound files are different, as is the board design.

John,

No particular sound, just wanted whatever I could match as a pair. I agree, PS-1 and PS-2 files are different, but they burned the chips originally, which tells me, there would be a way to duplicate them. In my retirement, I fix pinball machines, and I can reprogram the EPROMS with a "programmer", so "maybe" there's a service out there that can handle QSI's sound ROMS??? Thanks for the reply, by the way!!!

There is no way to use DCS to copy PS-1 chips, they are not set up for any of that interaction.  You can still order the chips from MTH at about $30 a pop.

To all repliers, I thank you for your insite! I will move forward and "try" to buy chips from MTH (UGH!) Nonetheless, Thank you ALL!!!

There are only two PS-1 sound chips for subways  One is the R42 E train and the other is the R42 D train.  The sound stinks on both of them.  There are a gaggle of PS2 sound files for subways that can easily be loaded.  What model do you want to load them on?

Bluelinec4,

I wanted to load a pair of The D's or E's for that matter, but I was hoping for a match either way. What do you suggest?

Thanks,

Joe

I might have a D train chip  send me an email

Hi Bluelinec4,

I'm just a rookie in this group, and couldn't figure out how to send you an email? Sorry, but, thanks just the same!

click on the bluelinec4 under my picture   Look on the right side about 3/4 of the way down and you will see my email address   You can have the chip for nothing just send the address and I will get it to you

Hey Joe -  I'll bet one of your subway cars is a red Lo-V with a replaced PS2 board.  How are you?!!  It's Mike.  Great to see you here on the forum.  You are in the right place!!
