I went from a Pandora's Box 6 to a DX thinking it would be a solid upgrade and was really disappointed with the screen tearing and audio issues. The games were really low volume, but the menu screen was so loud it sounded like gunshots. 😂 I ended up replacing it with a Pandora Games 3D and have been really happy with it ever since. To be fair, I did get the very first run of the DX, I pre-ordered it and everything, so it's entirely possible that they fixed those issues and I don't know about it.

I bought a DX last month so I assume I have the newer one. No menu screen is still loud and volume is hit or miss depending on the game but with NBA jam super low. My screen is also shifted to the right for some reason. Not enough to be unplayable but enough to be annoying. Worked fine with the 6 so not sure if you had the same issue. Also tried to connect a USB trackball where it says "trackball" as well as the other usb port. Could never get the DX to recognize it. What do you like about the 3D more? The only real upgrade with the DX over the 6 is save states, and to me with very limited time to play, is a nice upgrade.

@@mak23997 So basically with the Pandora Games 3D it just performs miles better. No screen tearing, the volume levels are normal as you'd expect, the sounds that are messed up in some DX games are in tact on the 3D, etc. Though I never use save states so I can't remember if the 3D does that or not. Matter of fact I'm going to check and let you know in a second reply.

I have one of these in an old converted Neo Geo Z Back cabinet with an older 26" Samsung LCD and a scanline generator over VGA. I think it may have once been an SF2 cab because the control panel was drilled for 6 buttons but only filled 4. It originally came with a single slot MVS and one of those 161 in 1 carts. The comic book shop I bought it from was going out of business and left it on all day, so the 25" tube had awful burn in and I couldn't find a replacement. The menu system and loading screen look slightly different on mine with a V1.3 in the corner, probably slightly more up to date. I put in a new harness, replaced the sticks with some IL bat tops and added all new buttons in all 6 holes. Works great, no bad tearing like I experienced in the Pandora 5 and 6. I'm happy with it and it's features.

I have a DX in an original SF2 cabinet I bought that came with a Pandora 9. I threw that out and put a 6 which was the best one till the DX. I've noticed since I got the DX the screen is shifted to the right far enough that certain icons and graphics you can't see. My cab came with a 720 LCD. Was curious if you've had the same issue.

@@mak23997 I don't remember whether I ran into this after hooking it up or not. I may have made some adjustments in the screen's OSD but that was a while back. My monitor is an older 26" Samsung computer monitor and I run the DX at 1024x768. Is yours running off VGA out? Could be the slight resolution difference if your monitor is 1280x720.

I've seen a dozen tutorials for connecting the family edition to an arcade1up but I've been eager to see the jamma edition connected to a real sf2 cabinet. I knew that the Pandora was a slightly different pinout, didn't realize an adapter was readily available. I'd probably go the extra mile and mount it next to the real PCB. Not sure how safe it is balanced on the edge of the coin collector. Great to see it supports 480p out. Great stuff, I don't see the issue either if the control panel and original hardware remains untouched.

I can imagine this would be really cool in a Big Blue cabinet (The original of course). It's a convenient solution for people that have one original arcade cabinet, but they want to add more games so it could have more value in their 3 grand or more purchase without damaging the original design. Obviously, the emulation Isn't the best that money can buy, but it's good for what it is. Besides, nothing beats playing retro games on a CRT, that's just how these games were meant to be played.

Obviously, it isn't convenient for most people because not everyone has an extra $3,000+ to spare on an arcade machine that plays one game, so most people build their own arcade cabinet and use a raspberry pi for the emulation. But emulation will never be the same as authentic hardware and playing the game how it was originally designed. The Pandora's box isn't going to appeal to most people if they already have a multicade like the at games legends ultimate and any of the diy projects or they just emulate everything on PC. But for the guy that had the money and space for a big and bulky arcade cabinet and wants to add more games without damaging the original design of the cabinet, it's pretty cool. It's not for everyone, but when I do get my hands on an original Big Blue cabinet from Capcom, I need a solution like this.

It's way cool. Great for a project cab! Mine was $600!

I have a Pandora's box 6. With save states on DX, will the save states stay even if you exit the game and come back. I've had a few games where I have to fix the controls every time I enter the game. Also, if I use and unlock code, it would be good to know I don't have to do it over and over.

The DX saves the games even when you reboot or power off the system.

I have this same setup in my 25' CRT Dynamo cabinet and it works great. I still prefer the real CPS2 board because I notice the color and sharpness is better. The DX device is nice to have especially having all those games in one and ready to go. :)

So with this Jamma to chamma , there’s no need to rewrite or solder , it’s just plug in play ?

You do need a jamma to chamma adapter with the CPS1 kick harness adapter on it. If you plan to use it in a standard CPS1 wired cabinet.

Awesome! Great to have access to so many games! Would there be one Pandora box like this for the Arcade 1up? Would love to play different games on my Mortal Kombat 2 Legacy cabinet! Great video Ralph! ✌🏼😎👍🏼

Hey, just found your channel and enjoyed the video. I built an NBA jam cabinet. I was planning on running raspberry pi but the emulation is horrible for nba jam. I’m interested in the Pandora’s box but am not sure if it supports 4 players. Will it?

I did a video on a 4 player Pandoras box a while back but it had some quirks. I think they came out with a new one that solves some of the problems. I'm spacing on what version it was though. Thank you so much for supporting the channel. I hope you enjoy some of the other content on it as well.

Hi everyone, I got my Pandora's box DX special but came all in Chinese! I know how easy would be to go to settings and change the language but in chinese is very hard to do, looking screenshots online I located the Language setting but when I click on it, it only gives me two options which I assume are Chinese and English, I tried both by choosing and saving, box restarts and all shows in Chinese, I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or this box came defected. any help would be great :)

Pandora Box's using an older FinalBurn Alpha emulator versions, I don't know if they will ever use finalburn neo latest versions, that would be awesome since it supports better emulation and run-ahead feature to reduce input lag.

There's a Pandory hack I haven't tried yet that I guess greatly improves a ton of aspects of the pandoras box. I'm going to look into it soon.

It’s a nice option for some but I personally think FPGA is the future for arcade gaming. I will try to keep my original boards running as long as possible but as FPGA evolves, I think it will become key in keeping older games running and running accurately. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, love you guys 🙏🏼
