[@michaels-h5539]

I watched a bunch of videos in the channel and read some other comments similar to this (about Pandora Boxes tech falling behind) and I just thank them for not moving in that direction. The other Pandora Game clones are mainly offering emulation devices for all type of consoles, with massive lists of games but their categories for what I have seen is per console. There are a lot of customers, like myself. Who are not interested at all in emulation of consoles, the less they emulate, the better actually, as they'll focus the device mainly on Arcade machines (which is what we were looking for). On top of that, in the Pandora boxes the categories are real categories of game genres, not systems. Hence that if you want to find Shooting games is way easier. The system can still be improved quite a lot, but not going in the direction of other clones and try to support more systems. That shouldn't be their focus at all.

[@wolffactor56]

Pandora Box 3D can be converted to something like Retropi (emuelec) or lakka. Both can play ps1 and snes/genesis/etc. I still need to find ones that runs a amlogic s912 with more that 2GB memory. Locally I sell these from $100 to $300 modded (rasberry pi). It’s easy and you can check forums like emuline and discord. I even modded one to run like a retro pi , but it’s under powered. Pandora box 3D you wanna pick one that lets you add games to SD Card or usb stick, like twisted metal 2. One more thing you even use zero delay usb controllers and rewire it to run rasberry pi 3 or a psone mini. KZbin and some people show how to do it step by step.

Sad is the lack of Mod's or hacks for this boxes, Information for it is all over the internet, forums and what not. But real dedicated info is very hard to find. I guess is funny to think that if it was another platform the hacker community would be all over to break the security and be able to play more games., but since this boxes are already running all this roms, I guess they do not find fun behind them. But how awesome would be to crack the Chinese firmware on this boxes and be able to modify and customize the pandora's box the way we want them to be...?

[@lindenandersonjr.6437]

Hello. Thank you for your videos. I’ve been watching a lot of videos trying to gain as much info as possible before purchasing a box, but with all that info, I’m still not sure if the right one for me exists. My primary interest in this box is to be able to play as many MAME (old school arcade) games as possible, particularly 4-player games. (Simpsons, Turtles, Crime Fighters, X-Men) Getting console games as well would be a bonus. I love the arcade gameplay with joysticks but would much prefer handheld controllers, so any Pandora system that has all the MAME games and at least some console games, can accommodate 4-players, has a game search option, at least 720p and is relatively affordable is what I’m looking for. Can you suggest which box or at least the closest to that box to this criteria would be? I greatly appreciate your advice and input. Blessings, LA 🎮🕹

[@internetjunkie5241]

I think 2d games are your best bet if you take into consideration the quality of the emulation as well as the hardware limitations because 3d games are more demanding for the hardware.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Pandora Games 3D does really great job if it comes to emulation did you see that review ?

[@embergabor]

Very detailed comparison. I had the Pandora box 4 and upgraded to the Pandora game 3d and it is night and day. The PG3D is much much better than I expected. Generally gameplay is perfect. My only issue is with the aspect ratio. On a Tv you can change this but my cabinet has a 5:4 tft and the 720p image is scaled to that. Horizontal games are fine this way but verticals are squished.

[@wolffactor56]

Gaz Ward - get the official 6 , see his video on the 9d, it lags a bit on 2D games. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the 3A version uses sanwa buttons (better quality). If you want to do it cheap, buy pandora box 4s off eBay for $80 and switch the board out for another bit of cash ( it’s super easy to change them out). Official board pandora 6 board is cheap
