Hi Shaun,
A problem with having a mod, mods or just allowing sound files to be changed in
Mach 1 is that the game code was written to work with the sound files that it
comes with. Other sound files may cause the game to not work correctly, crash
or work differently on different computers and
Hi Thomas,
We had a discussion on the list about artistic copy write etc as with regards
to modifying all of the sounds of Mach 1. Not to mention that the sound file
that says By Jim Kitchen could have been changed. It was not, but could have

Hi Shaun,
Yeah, I was going to try and put some Raceway effects in Mach1 to
improve the sound quality, but preserve the game play as the game itself
is quite fun. It's just I'd like some other sounds and a better tts

Perhaps Jim will rewrite the game someday using DirectX 8 and
