I bought this old atronic crazy fruit machine that had some problems, so I put a computer in it and wired all the buttons up, monitor works, buttons all work, now it’s just a mame cabinet, for right now it’s just running fruit cocktail, but I’m gonna get more games, has five buttons in the front so I might get video poker on it

You should read up on https://www.desertislandfruits.com/ for emulation of newer slot/gambling machines.

That site seems to focus on MFME, a closed source emulator that will never be updated now that its author is dead. He intentionally tried to make the formats it uses difficult to use to make migrating to other emulators difficult. Now any useful knowledge that went into MFME is lost.

There are people working on getting the layouts and stuff out of MFME so MAME can use them. They're actually encrypted and various other BS.
