Great to see a new review. Great work.

Just got mine in. Ordered after watching this video. My 6s hasn't been usable for a while because it wouldn't boot up...... very nice upgrade.

[@chuckyluvsu13]

Thanks for the great review of this. I am going to pick up the Jamma version of this to throw in my Blast City !!

[@littergamer]

Can I use Controller on jamma version?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Going to try that out !

[@lodoss118]

Man i love the blast city, i have had the sega astro city and sega naomi cabs

[@chuckyluvsu13]

@lodoss118 yeah the Blast City is a great cabinet. You have two great ones yourself. I always wanted to get a SNK made candy cabinet to have for a dedicated Neo Geo cab. Mabey one day right.

I think my box is from 2017 or so. Not sure. It comes with a big arcade like pad. (wireless) I do wanna get a new one.

[@KenSch2020]

If Pandora Box used a little better Arm processors and more with a better OS and ROM with the music and everything more people would be willing to buy them.

[@shazmanbound1496]

Team Pandory is an excellent modding community for Pandora Box. Their firmware makes the Pandora box better.

can you add games?? I want to add more atomis wave games...possible?

it is possible to play on a CRT tv ? Thx

I have a pandora box 5 with a wireless joystick but for some reason cannot connect with the box it was working just fine a few years ago but it won't work any help greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@jimbotron70]

Maybe something could improve visually with VGA and VGA CRT or CRT TV (not performance, only the visual appearance), the rest it's the usual ok-ish stuff for 2D and sluggish for 3D.

Great video. The Game king 2019 in 1 in my Lindbergh just bricked so looking for a replacement. I’m set up with a Chinese Jamma harness. Is this compatible?

[@deepdrasticvid]

I'll make like for this video It was good that I came across this video, even Tekken 3 has a delay, so I don't buy this product, Tekken 3 and other new versions of Batocera on an old laptop do not delay.

[@billymaccaull3018]

man id play teken 6 with you im rilly good with jin kazima

[@RetroGamesCouple]

Hopefully they will go up to 4GB soon and then we can get a new one. As long as they are stuck on 2GB of RAM there's hardly any improvement from box to box.

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

Looks like they just added minor features but most of the game problems remain the same.

[@screwvo83]

Will it make the game run better if you delete a bunch of games?

[@greggv8]

The game to test for Playstation 2 emulation is the first Ratchet and Clank. When you look out across the first level at all that open space then turn, you'll instantly know if it's going to be good or not.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

PS2 is not on here 😅

[@gabedel9456]

Why are they still messing up the sound on the 16 bit/arcade games.. why not just use the correct emulators how hard can it be :)

[@matthewsermons7247]

I love how you mention Mortal Kombat has nothing to do with 3D. Just.... Thank you.

[@jeremyoliviervoice]

So the next gens are now here. The light gun is definitely the new trend now. I'm glad it is! That is so disappointing that it can't even handle Tekken 3 on PS1. Oh well, win some and lose some.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

There is always something they mess up mostly with the emulators. Pandory with the DX special did fix so many problems. 😳

[@jeremyoliviervoice]

@@WickedGamerCollector I found out that my neighbor got one of those Pandora Box 3D cabinet systems. Thanks to watching your content, I know which games to do a performance test on. I know what to expect, but it will be fun to do it myself!

[@WickedGamerCollector]

No game box out there plays it. You need mini pc / specs.

[@IvailoNachev-xc3zu]

@@WickedGamerCollector I think you can use something like Orange Pi 5 and its new gen Rockchip or any such board that uses the same chip. The problem with this developer board is that community support is kinda weak in comparison to Raspberry Pi but I have seen people able to run the weakest Nintendo Switch games on it as well PS2, Wii and some games on Android games like Genshin Impact. The problem with this ARM board is that it is kinda on the expensive side to set up and that might cost you +200$ to set up with proper casing, cooling, controllers, storage, memory, power cord and adapter but hey you can use Debian and Android. Another cool thing is you can buy one with 16 GB of ram and run virtual machines as well use Steam. I think you or Udon made a video about this new Rockchip 3588.

[@ManuelMotion]

Ten years and I'm still waiting for the perfect Pandora Box. This version is close, but... no yet.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yup, they getting close. I know they are working on something more powerfull. So maybe then they fix all problems ?

[@suhtangwong]

Can you add your own games on it?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yes, you can with this. Main list is fixed can not be updated now. You can hide game from that main list if you want.

[@MattZildjian]

Can't see the appeal of these boxes, the UI looks so outdated and all the issues you mentioned would not be user fixable? There are so many better options now when it comes to emulating I don't know why you would ever buy one of these.

[@Wizard66]

They make the most since when they are a two stick joystick box for the home. Or you get the JAMMA version that goes into an arcade machine. Mostly for people who want plug and play not want tinker all the time like a PC setup.

[@S.Keenan]

Agree 100%. Have a cheap android box with Batocera running on my A1up cab. Still miles ahead as an experience.

[@IvailoNachev-xc3zu]

These boxes are made for people that do not want to tinker with options, finding roms or figure out how to put a cheap system like this. The problem what most people don't see immediately is how much problems these have. Cheap controllers, unbranded SD cards that gets corrupted, too many duplicate roms, limited on user side OS that you might want to avoid getting on your network, games suffering from emulation issues (glitching, stuttering, lagging or freezing), PS1 games missing soundtracks so they can cram as many possible, they don't feel like a product that will last very long and so on. However there is some good to be had in them since some of them provide improved cooling over cheap Android TV boxes, they are plug and play, they provide you with roms you might take some time to collect yourself as long you make sure to keep the one you want, they take very small space in comparison to regular PC or console and in comparison to inflation right now they are relatively cheap.

[@S.Keenan]

@@IvailoNachev-xc3zu Fair enough but I think the whole 'tinkering around and searching for roms' argument is overplayed. Installing a front end is straightforward and roms can be securely found in minutes. I'll take that all day over a lot of this stuff.

[@IvailoNachev-xc3zu]

@@S.Keenan I agree with you on this as well but this is how some are lazy. Honestly all it takes is to put Batocera on a USB stick and you are ready to go. Some of them get terrified by asking them to go in their BIOS and adjust few settings. This is the same reason a lot of people who could benefit from using Linux don't use it although for a regular user it is 1-5% more challenging than Windows. Roms take some time to collect though since you need to make sure they work properly but once you build it up you are golden. I think right now the only thing worth it are handheld consoles since they bring form factor you can't exactly match with other devices. However with a bit of time you can set up Android TV box, old PC or old laptop to be a retro console and you will get better performance and even reach PS2 emulation depending on how much you can squeeze from your hardware (if it is an Desktop PC).

[@TheColt45s]

WICKED... I know this has nothing to do with this but it is your latest post and I'd like your opinion. I watched your videos everyday and I'm I've finally decided to buy a Super Console X-cube x3, which should satisfy my (throwback) game needs. The problem is I keep finding different ratios. Yes I want the 117,000 games (or 100,000 plus), the 256 mg card, 2 cheap controllers and the English version, but I'm finding prices ranging from $70 to $110, the last of which which claims ram of 4 gb of DDR3 and rom of 32 gb of eMMe. Doesn't this indicate its better than the cheaper ones. Is it worth paying $35 more? Thanks.

[@jimbotron70]

If you pay 35 less you get crappy performance, so maybe yes.

[@IvailoNachev-xc3zu]

I think you might be better buying an Anbernic RG35XX with an HDMI cable and SD card since it is better value for the same amount of money. If you get the right and OTG cable you will be able to use a controller or in other words you can make it into a poor man's SWITCH. Many of the so called 100K games are different language versions plus the SD card you are getting with these devices is not good and PS1 games are missing their soundtrack. The RG35XX does more or less the same except N64, PSP and Dreamcast which or also hit or miss on these cheap android boxes. I wouldn't believe everything these manufacturers put as information because I had few times them listing a device as a 4GB RAM but I get 1 or 2. If you have the time and really want a small portable console then you can buy an old office pc or laptop (Usually around 70$) and put Batocera on it. You can get up to PS2, Dreamcast, Wii and PSP emulation depending on machine specs and you can mod the system the way you want. Most importantly you will keep the e-waste a bit down.

[@josemartin973]

these pandora box products are rubbish and you know it, for this use tvbox with batocera or Raspberry pi/orange pi. This is the worst option, the quality of these products is unfortunate and expensive. and in the last case emulation on PC with a nice frontend and that's it.
