Isn't it just this? https://github.com/schlae/snark-barker/blob/master/firmware/...

EDIT: I think this is the Chinese ROM. It doesn't match the disassembly snippets from his video.

Its in Intel HEX format so you cant see clearly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HEX

You have to convert to binary first

    xxd -r -p sb.hex > sb.bin
and then look at strings

    strings sb.bin

    lot of garbage

This is some Taiwanese clone schlae is talking about in his presentation. There is another SB 1.5 clone firmware floating around for "ATI Stereo F/X ISA Sound Card" dumped by MAME people https://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Num... https://archive.org/download/MESS-0.151.BIOS.ROMs/MESS-0.151... MAME guys also dumped SB16 firmware and its available (ct1741_v413), but afaik there are no public Creative SB/SBPro dumps.
