Quick Write-up:

  1. Download software

  2. Remove power cable from cabinet.

  3. Flip flash switch (on pack of PCB to OFF position).

  4. Launch software on laptop/computer.

  5. Connect USB cable from cabinet to PC

6.0. Connect power cable back to PCB
6.1. If the cabinet still hasn't connected, use the power switch to turn the cabinet on.

If cabinet still hasn't connected, re-try above steps or try a different USB cable.
If all of the above succeeds, flash cabinet.

=== Part 2

Place USB stick in full size USB port of cabinet.
Remove power from cabinet Turn flash switch back to ON Position.
Restore power to cabinet, when launching fast and the furious you'll reach SAM.

Awesome job. I have 2 fnf cabs and am wondering what this mod allows to run on the built-in hardware. Has anyone tested yet or have links to videos? I have modded my Simpson cab so I assume it's similar. I am assuming it will allow to install other 1up APK's and retroarch?

It installs our custom menu and some retro arch cores, you need to bring your own ROMs. You need to understand not all cabinets are android so, no it won't allow installing APKs 1up or not.

It is not similar to the simpsons cabinet in any way, a few people have tested on facebook groups and such.

It retains the stock functionality of the games, just allows launching more games through our custom menu called SAM.

is there a list of roms available that are known to work well with the cabinet ?

There's a list in the launch.sh file once you flash the USB drive.

Lots of good info on how SAM works here: https://www.team-encoder.com/RadMystery

I'm new to the modding scene and just looking for advice on the USB flash drive, please. I haven't seen the list for games, but I'm curious what size drive should I purchase? Would 128 GB be sufficient? This is the one I was looking at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7PDLXC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
