The inside of this thing looks like a highschool science project.

[@LemonRush7777]

I wonder how this one stacks against those that look like a briefcase. Screen seems to be smaller. Maybe battery is as well?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

the birefcase does have many versions of quality 😳

[@farleysmoke5130]

Blimey Pandora are actually improving 😮 thanks wicked

[@WickedGamerCollector]

tiny step up nothing much 😆

[@Sinn0100]

So I'm having some issues finding this machine for sale at the moment. Not to fret, I have found other Pandora portable boxes that fit the bill quite nicely. What I'm looking at now is the 28S Pro and the 36SPro as my best choices, I think. They're a little different than yours and what's really interesting is they are being sold on Amazon. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me but they are. I also want to know what you think about their internals. Here they are... They both have the S812 Chipset, 12 Core Operation, (4 Core CPU@2.0GHz+8 Core Mali450MP8 GPU), that runs games in 1280x720p HD Resolution. It has 1Gb of Flash RAM and 2Gb of video memory. The screen is fully flush with the metal case and is a 14 inch IPS monitor that is borderless. The 36S Pro Wifi version costs 400 USD and comes with 10,000 games with 128GB of memory. The 28S is the same internally accept it cannot connect wirelessly and only has 3,800 built-in games. I think it only has 64Gb of memory as well. It's also 100 USD cheaper. They were manufactured by Petforu. You can download more games and consoles supposedly. You cannot change the motherboard or internals...like say slap a Raspberry Pi inside. You basically get all that it can be right from the start kind of like a console. What do you think? Is it as amazing as it looks or should I look elsewhere? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@edwardfredericks4609]

Does two player functionality work on the PSP? Can Pandory be implemented in this version? If not, is it possible to add your own games wicked? Definitely want to see and have more questions answered on this unit! It's pretty awesome! Maybe you could do a further deep dive and more gameplay? That would be pretty neat

[@brackkusamaz4015]

Regarding 2 player functionality, psp does not support local multiplayer but AdHoc, aka multiple devices joined on a network. Im not sure if you can mess with the psp emulator on this one

[@edwardfredericks4609]

@@brackkusamaz4015 thanks! That's a shame given the Pandora 3D does. Was hoping. Still not clear on the differences between the 3D , 3D2 either lol. Good build quality still though

[@brackkusamaz4015]

@@edwardfredericks4609 Do you any good pandoras on the cheaper side? Im planning in going to my home country and want to give my nephews a cool arcade machine

[@marccaselle8108]

Haha mortal spanking. This portable Pandora's box seems like the best one yet. It's quite a hodgepodge of games, but that is typical for any pandoras box. 🙂

[@apollolux]

Forgetting about the software for a minute, what would you say is your preferred setup for pre-connected Pandora stick+display, a foldable portable joystick like this or a mini-bartop? I'm only asking about the physical aspects of the setup, not the quality of the default emulation software included.

[@iaincowell9747]

5:00 now you can't return it, you removed the warranty plastic.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

😂

[@merman1974]

Display looks good, controls seem ok but not certain about all that messy extra wiring... seems like it could fail.

[@jskjellman]

@WickedGamerAndCollector so this device has two HDMI outs? Also is the DB25 connector actually a very old school RS232 port or just a connection point for each button? Last of all did you try and remove the SD card to see if it's Android based? Nice video as always, my apologies for all the questions.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

That old DB25 connector I think they sell those second player arcade sticks. Weird enought they did not connect it like they always do. Clearly they use older cases and upgraded them with mainboards that have USB support. First time i needed to re-enter the sd because nothing showed up in the menu. It wil always boot into the pandora foresst main menu.

[@dankhill6851]

As somebody that is interested in these products, but wants something high quality (just in case Pandora sees this) I'm still waiting for something that runs good. But I mean, once that exists, I'll probably buy it.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

They should remove the stuff don't work and stick with the 2d stuff. Add aspect ratio and some changes like pandory does with the software. Cases are not bad only did see some do sell them with sanwa parts...

[@cabbusses]

@@WickedGamerCollector The problem with saying "stick with the 2D stuff" is that the majority of the stuff that still has problems running because of emulation issues (as opposed to having bad input configs or being poor choices for an arcade box to begin with) is MAME-based.

[@zockeromi1970]

Strange, this video didn't appear in my timeline

[@ninjazhu]

Forest misspelt? or For Rest with a missing space?

[@Zalenor598]

what do you do what all those pandoras/machines? ¿do you resell them?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

At this point nothing.. becoming the wicked gamer & hoarder 😂

Do you have an online store where you sale the stuff you review.

Lol The look on peoples face if you had this by the pool 🏊‍♂️ 😅

[@pyjama9556]

Would love to see the larger 2 player briefcase version with a 24” screen. Was so tempted to order but quality & version of pandora had me worried. 🤔

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yeah want to order one only those 2 player one version are crazy expensive 😳

Yes this one is....

Pretty big performance improvement tbf!

Hopefully I can get a Forrest twin stick with the nice Dreamcast compatibility.

[@luisreyes1963]

The cooling fan was glued down over the main CPU chip? They must have found out you were going to give that device a teardown. 😅

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yeah bummer want to see the chip and i knew if I do a teardown there is now way going back 😂

[@paulcumber4732]

where do you get the nice toy

This thing is pretty cool! price is a little too much but it looks to be decent enough quality

[@kevinspahr6632]

Hi. I just subscribed to your Channel. I'm looking for something like this, but I want something that's up-to-date and is better than the rest. Any recommendations?

[@fatbelly2438]

i want a pandora that can run sega model 2 arcade games..

[@khiladi]

Although still had few issues is good to see they making it better and better. Now we can hope one day to see one that will include ps2 or Gamecube. I know you choose the games more demanding for the tests, but sometimes it will be great if you use some other game, specially ps1, to see how it works. Maybe a Resident Evil, Silent Hill or MEtal Gear. Thanks for the videos, as always they are great to watch!

[@WickedGamerCollector]

We have a great PS2 emulator now we need better specs and boards inside this machine. In the end pandora does run on android.

[@RetroRalph]

I ordered this because of you 😳😆

[@74bobby]

The display looks great

[@WickedGamerCollector]

yup.. for once they use a good display 😄

WOW! We're going into the Pandora jungle of death again so you know what that means sharpen your machetes get your gear ready and watch out for them Predators!😥 Not bad this Pandora Forest it seems better than the rest of it's ilk. A must buy? Good review and cool video Wicked!👍

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I would way or get a basic game console with the same software. In the end it's all up to the viewer what to do. In the jungle so many freaking versions cases .. should do overview of all the ways to play 🙄

[@christidy432]

I wish you could get them from sainsbury etc. As for all those copyright laws etc they don't exist in China. That is a marvellous thing. I can't stand shops that won't sell anything that doesn't conform to a EU standard or region standard. All that ever means is we are being ripped off paying high prices. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft etc. Total con artists. Pandora is the way forward and you can imagine how much better they will be in a few years. Old games are just figments of the imagination of days gone bye.All the old games have usually even payed for a long time ago. I hope that as multi media tech progresses all games will be available at a flick of a button like changing channels on a TV. Give us more Pandora and Wicked Gamer keep up the good reviews. I want that Pandora box.
