Pandora Box DX - Installing PandoryDX Video Guide

[@ArnoldBrunson]

Thank you for the instructions! They worked perfectly. It was great at first having 26000+ games, but now I will only play 100 or so games per platform/console. Is it possible after installing Pandory DX to setup a new 128GB SD card with no games so that I can add only the ones I want later? Thanks in advance.

Got this up and running on my A1up cab! Thanks for all the help on the Discord! Haven't been able to play with much yet, but the crunchy pixels and lack of slow down is huuuuge! Can't wait to get into more, especially the PC Engine stuff.

Hi. thank you for the tutorial I have an old school 15Hz CRT Jamma Arcade with Pandora DX Do I only need to execute the bat like in the video, or do i need to modify some values in some files to have the good aspect ?

This tutorial is only really for 1.10. Since then everything is adjustable in the pandory.xml file. Open it with notepad++ and have a look. Everything has been commented. If you're using JAMMA arcade, it's pretty difficult to get a good image with the DX. It just doesn't scale very well at all.

Do you know if Pandory fixes the issue of MAME and FBA games that are added to the DX from being rotated 90 degrees? It’s not all roms but I’ve tried adding different versions of scramble and also most of the Fantasia roms and they all display rotated 90 degrees.

[@TeamPandory]

For that you'd need to add a config to rotate it. Unsure if you need pandory for that, but it's certainly possible to have each game with its own retroarch config. We are working on something for this regarding Tate games

I mean that I can't have a still image, since it's infinitely scrolling. I'm interested in triyng Pandory, do you know if I will be able to fix this problem? And as you know, is this a known issue? Thanks!

[@TeamPandory]

@@santogaglione360 pandory should work on that box, but don't solve this issue. Did you try checking the vertical settings on the monitor controls, or maybe holding the settings button at the back of the pandora box as you turn it on - this changes resolution.

[@santogaglione360]

@ Yes, I tried changing resolution and I have this issue with the one that is labeled (on the manual) being 15htz (is also the one that is at least more visible between the three resolution that my Pandora has). Still, thanks for the answer!

[@TeamPandory]

It should depend on the game. If it can't scale up perfectly you'll get visual issues like that. Saying that, we've had reports that 2.0 doesn't install correctly on windows at the moment. Can you try 1.4 ?

[@Mordorfaka]

@@TeamPandory Thanks for the fast reply, i've tried to install 1.4 but same issues appear, then i've created a new sd and installed 1.10 but there are no options related to resolution, integer, etc... So then i assume that there is no way to change this right? thanks again!

Does anyone know why the Retroarch config files are missing? I have no retro-1a.cfg or anything else indicated in this video.

[@TeamPandory]

As retroarch config files are pretty difficult to work your head around, we changed the system as to edit pandory.xml to change settings. You can still use Pandora 1.10 in case you want to try yourself with the retroarch config files

[@lmtliam]

@@TeamPandory OK, thanks. I had a look at the XML file, but I'm not sure which setting there gets me 1:1, unstretched video for all systems, which is what I really want. Also, credits entered in the menu are returning to zero after exiting a game.

[@TeamPandory]

@@lmtliam I think that's a bug for the pandora box DX. For the 1:1 you need to change the aspect ratio to the required setting. Unsure what you need it depends on the output monitor

@@jessragan6714 the problem of any of the clone systems, is you don't know what you'll be getting. We don't state they're compatible as there's multiple that share the same name, but are totally different from each other. If you want an answer to your question, you'd need to share a photo of your games list menu, any options screens, and the main board. Outside that, you could find something that you know is compatible, or go for an already open system (mini pc with batocera for example )

How can you add emulators for example from Nintendo 64 for pendrive?

[@TeamPandory]

Sorry to say, you can't. The DX is too weak to run N64, and the only way (currently) to run another emulator (a500, etc) is to use pandory as shown in this video. For N64 and later systems, you're better off looking at a mini PC and install batocera to a usb stick.

Incredible work! One question. I'm running a DX on a 640x480 CRT in an arcade cabinet and on most older games I get loud pops and clicks in the audio. I'm experiencing the same thing when connecting to my TV with HDMI. However, I tried switching to the CRT/15khz mode and even though I can't see anything (since I dont have a 15khz monitor) I can start games, and all audio problems are gone. So, is this simply due to the games running at the wrong speed, or is it v-sync screwing the audio up? If so, is there any way to disable v-sync on specific games?

[@DSNadine]

Is there a tutorial on the newer version? - I installed it and the config files are different. For the most part all is great, but some games won't apply changes when loadings flips from 33% to 66%. The Picture will still be blurry and have the old scanlines.

[@TeamPandory]

The install is similar, but everything now is changeable by editing the pandory.xml file that is on the microsd. If you're still having a blurry picture, I'm guessing you're using this on JAMMA / arcade. If you want to use the method similar to this video, try using pandory 1.10, which is still downloadable from the github or from the email that was sent.

[@DSNadine]

@@TeamPandory Thx for the Info. No it's the family edition and only some games. - "Undercover Cops" for instance. I played around with the XML and added the rom name there and now the changes will apply but the game will run very slow. Adding the game additionally a second time will have it work sharp & fast (like the standard pandory settings will apply) but the PCM sound samples are broken. XD - I'll just play around and will eventually find the settings I need I guess. But other then this rare occurence (it's really the only game I'd regualry play that has this) Pandory is really, really, really great!

Install PandoryDX, then basically copy the games directly to the microsd. If you have a strange clone with 9000+ games, you may have issues adding the games, as they (stupidly) max out the games menu, which messes up things. There is no need to use pandorytool to add games.

hi, thabks for the great job! A question... Is the king of the air 2 hidden inside of the dx? In this case how to switch to it??? Thanks in advance.

[@TeamPandory]

The DX is hidden in the KOA2, but not the other way around. In all honesty- the roms are the same, just the UI / arcade configuration to turn the screen are different.

[@BEN_HARDY]

Is Pandora better than my current stock Pandora DX?

[@TeamPandory]

... Pandory? Yes... But we would say that as we developed it 😂

[@mvPiss]

Hey, guys! thank you so much for your hardwork! I'm new to this Pandora Box thing and I just got the DX version. I just installed Pandory and even using Pandora's CRT resolution I can't get a progressive signal. Is it even possible? Or should I get an image converter?

[@johnboydojo]

Very nice work! Nice to see that blurring gone and the overclocking looks great. Happy to see the options for different configurations for different games too, very handy that! What's the news on dip switch access? I take it these changes wouldn't be possible through the actual Pandora's front-end options menu. That'd be a massive undertaking I imagine! Either way awesome job guys! 🙂👍

[@TeamPandory]

Goddamnit... I knew there was something I'd forget. Dip switches work for fba, fr1 hold down start button, but it'll be start, a and b for the final public release.

[@johnboydojo]

@@TeamPandory Hahaha. I was just watching Wickeds video on your hack. No worries! 🙂 One other question though if you don't mind! Is sharp pixels (no bilinear filter) the default now and is the overclocking preset for the games that ran slow, metal slugs, shock troopers etc? Cheers! Edit. Start A+B is perfect for us Jammer users! Fantastic! 🙂👍

[@TeamPandory]

@@johnboydojo bilinear off and a 4:3 aspect is default. But for those on a 4:3 monitor it'll squish twice, so change the value to 23 and it'll stretch to the size of the monitor. We are working on the second early access build, things will no doubt change, so when the final release is ready, things should be yet even easier for users to configure.

[@johnboydojo]

@@TeamPandory Ah ha! Now that's good to know! Really looking forward to this has to be said 🙂👍 Edit: My aspect ratio is 5:4?! But I've found I can still output to 720p and it auto adjusts just fine. Doesn't look stretched in the slightest, weird huh?

[@Berg085]

Is the original DX the only one that's been hacked? I've been working on a plug-n-play build and was just going to get an EX, but this seems like a much better option overall. Also, is adding SNES games an options? I'd like to be able to add the Dragonball and Sailor Moon fighting games.

[@TeamPandory]

Nope, the pg3d games series, saga ex2 and a few others are all good to go. Check last year's Pandora box top ten video to see a few more options.

[@TeamPandory]

@@adamdjuric7299 Smooth adds the bilinear filter. 1080p would be rather pointless as the DX struggles enough as it is- and these older games originally output at a resolution of 324x224 or something. If you insist on having such a high resolution and using video filters, it'd be better to invest in a mini-pc or perhaps an N2+ and install emuelec.

Greetings! to start, I apologize for the poor English! so, I have three questions for you! 1: I intend to do a gold subscription these days to support you, once done will you send me the versions of Pandory Ultimate and jailbreak to be installed by email as per the video guide on the sd or usb? 2: If I can give you some advice since you are doing a great job (in my case I am talking about the pandora's dx) will you put the possibility to switch from the horizontal to the vertical version as happens in the latest version of pandora's dx? tell me yes please, and also the possibility of using the auto fire? 3: Other emulators? like n64, game boy or the beautiful naomi Atomiswave to be able to emulate at least 2 top games, like Hokuto no Ken and Dolphin Blue? Thanks you are great, I am looking forward to using your software on my Wisamic Pandora's Box DX Arcade Console.

[@TeamPandory]

Sorry, I completely missed this comment. If you have a DX then PandoryDX will work no problems. In regards to horizontal / vertical switch- you can do that with Pandory 1.10, but we are making it much easier to do with the next version which should be released in the next few days. Auto fire I think you can activate by holding the first button then tapping start (check the DX manual for that) - and regards to other emulators, we have something lined up for the next version of Pandory- but the DX is far too underpowered for Dreamcast, Naomi or Atomiswave- sorry- you'd need to buy some other hardware for Hokuto no Ken / Dolphin Blue.
