Well yes and no...... If you ask for a SP ID2 , they will still mail you the same link you just had. There is no choosing the SP ID2 from the website.... If you don't email them that it HAS to be ID2 , you receive a ID1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all looks so complicated and double Dutch to me, seems you are very talented and it's amazing having a cabinet that pays out MFME games. A bit like having an MFME sort of T7 type digital video gaming cabinet at home if you catch my drift. A whole arcade in your own cabinet that takes money and pays out...how cool is that? Are you taking orders lol? Now for my cheeky question. You would not, given your skills and knowledge happen to be the right person to hack out the GAL security chip problem on running Electro Coin Big 7 and Bar X 10 etc games on £15 £25 or £35 Jackpots so that they run in MFME 20.1 by any chance? I'd love to see a Bar 7 running in MFME with the bonus 3 nudges and a Bar-X £10 all but seemingly pipe dreams at present. thanks.

VenumX Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Update , Thursday 22/01 My 18mm wood laminate finally arrived , I order my wood based on the 3D drawing. Every panel is at perfect 90° angles. (That's something I can't do in my garage) The rest of the mold making and routing I do in my garage. I make a mold out of 18mm MDF based upon 3D measurements. Then I sand the molds edges to a smooth finish because my copy-router bit will follow the molds outline. I also found a cointray from an old "superjoker" from Bell-fruit , degreased it ant painted it black again, it had some wear and tear on the paint. Pictures are in timed order. Enjoy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenumX Posted January 24 Author Report Share Posted January 24 If I post to many/boring pictures , please tell me. This is just a woodworking stage, all part of the plan. I hope to get allot done this weekend, but my back is killing me , so yeah.... Sucks to be 41 feeling 70. My garage gas heater broke , so I'm running to the store tomorrow for a new one + some tools and paint from that same store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I watched another vid and that seemed the same (or at least soneone had to be doing the up and down movement, not sure about the across movement). Can you explain ?

You can buy CNC machines , these are automated routers , but these cost an arm and a leg. I am using a hand router , but I build it into my table , upside-down, so i don't have to hold it (if you hold a router by hand ,many things can go wrong or crooked, not now. The weel on top of the router bit follows the outline of the top mold and everything below the wheel carves the wood as it goes.

VenumX Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 Update 28/01/2026 Package arrived today , it's the 15m. Yellow T-Molding I ordered , time to finish the fan and speakers holes. Also added some more T-Molding, but not everywhere , first the sticker needs to be applied to the sides and then I can finish the rest of the T-Molding. Also equipped the coin tray with light. Still waiting on that plexiglass I hope this is somewhat inspiring for some of you . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenumX Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 Just did some work on the startup sequence , sounds and wallpaper of the system that will be used in the cabinet..... Small preview (on a smaller screen) I would use my 31" screen but it's already inside the cabinet... I couldn't find it at first.... Forgot i installed it already 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenumX Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) Update 02/02/2026 Received my package today. The marquee arrived (plexiglass) I hate to adjust it a little bit with my router and a special plexi bit , also i modified the edges to make it slide better into the grooves I routed. It fits perfectly! Testing the LEDs that will be used to light up the marquee,.... Since the LEDs are too close to the plexi (because of the buttons and speakers) I have chosen to light the plexi from the top , that way you don't look directly into the LEDs + it looks like there is a fluorescent tube installed behind it. Kinda old-school. Now the desertislandfruits marquee is sealed in forever! Now it's waiting for the stickers to arrive Enjoy!

VenumX Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 (edited) Small update 04/02/2026 I made some wooden feet out of oak wood for under the cabinet. These are not so detailed , but hey ....it's feet.... Also installed some led channel on the front and the sides beneath the cabinet for RGB lights. Could give a nice effect. It is still possible to move this cabinet with a dolly from the backside. Installed the coin hopper. Also installed the metal channel where the door slides into. Enjoy.
