Re: Mac OS 9.04 TTS error
Update: I just discovered that if I try to run Mac OS 8.0 with an old-world ROM, the text to speech will actually work, i don't know if the problem is in the ISO or the ROM, but i have tried different Mac OS 9 ISOs with different ROMs and it still didn't work.

Re: Mac OS 9.04 TTS error
Speech works in my 9.0.4 setup with a 1.9MB ROM - presumably that's the New World ROM? You can find it in my pre-built Mac OS 9 setup by searching for
Mac OS 9 for OS X/macOS

Re: Mac OS 9.04 TTS error
Ditto here in 9.0.4 with the New World ROM (indeed 1.9MB), that can be downloaded from the Redundant Robot site.
The TTS software should be installed with a full default MacOS installation. It may not be installed by default with non-English MacOS versions.

Re: Mac OS 9.04 TTS error
Update 2: I finally got it to work! I followed a very specific pattern so it don’t know yet which is THE factor that makes the TTS work/don’t
1. I paired up a random 9.04 with an old world ROM
2. I specifically selected the installer at the bottom, not the 9.04 one, the 9.0 one
And 3. I didn’t customize the installation cause i read something about it

Re: Mac OS 9.04 TTS error
My guess is that not customizing the installation made the difference.
