Real quick comment, I've always followed your tutorials and one thing I will say is that you are always spot-on. If you say to do it a certain way with a certain app you prefer, I never have issues. But when I have used something like standard Windows programming and not Rufus, I strike out every time. The same can be said for balena etcher. So thank you not only for the help but for also introducing me to apps that just get the job done much quicker and better. Thank you Tim
Great Video, nice to know we can add extra games and pretty easily as well!... All that's needed now are the light guns. Anyone know when 3A are planning to release them?
Whist this is great news, most of the games you add to your 10th Anniversary Pandora Box will be unplayable due to controller issues. I'm using a wireless X-Box 360 controller and even though everything shows up as working fine under the IO test menu, the joysticks simply won't work in most of the games I tried. The buttons work and the D-Pad works but the sticks either do nothing or act strange. I'd be interested to hear if others are having this issue and if not, what joysticks/controllers or pads are you using? I'll also mention that the controller I'm using works just fine with the games that came loaded on the system by Pandora.
Very annoying that those of us running this box in an arcade machine with a crt are unable to add more games or see games from DC ect. If they could fix that as well as the sub par image quality this would be a amazing box.
This worked great, however I'm having issues with as particular ROM - Zoo Keeper for MAME. Thisis the game I always wanted to have on a cabinet in my house and the one that I played when I was a kid when my mom would give me a few quarters when she shoppoed at the grocery store. It comes up with a screen mentioning the game location and then just sits, then eventually goes back to the game load screen. Any ideas? Would really be a wonderful thing to have this. Thank you!
Hey Buddy, I noticed you have the Killer Instincts MAME version (2:42min). Were they added or they came pre loaded? On all the videos I've seen looks like it comes only with the Super Nintendo version. How does it run? I understand Pandora has a hard time with 3D games.
The arm chipset has a hard time dealing with the emulation of 3D mame games. Tekken, Killer Instinct, things like that. The best experience for KI games on a pandora box is the SNES version hands done. If you want to play the other versions get a mini pc and pop batocera on.
Can you please make a tutorial on how to change the dip switches and add blood on Metal Slug and other games. This is something we have been waiting for and should already been added to these pandora boxes
I knew there probably was a way to add games to one. Did you make a backup of the original files and then delete all the games from folders on it and only install what you wanted to add to see if that would work? Then you could have a complete set of roms without.
3A boxes usually hide important files within their roms. Deleting these usually make the box useless and unable to boot. Also, added games are not in the search list - so the best way to do this is to hide all of the systems you don't need (doable from the menu settings) then unhide everything you wish, and add the extra games
@@TeamPandory Oh okay so its like the front-end that I use now about how you can hide systems. I was looking into different ways to go when I build my bartops. Since I want one for ever system so the button layout matches the console, looking to go the cheapest way. 1 arcade isnt too much but when I want to build a ton of them the price sky rockets 😆.
hello, why All the games on the box already work on a hori monitor but not if i add my games and they're in Tate? it not exist a config file for set game for vertical or hori?
I tried to put the unibios in the folder and is not possible to select him...the système is configured to work with the normal neogeo bios... How do you do to select the unibios ? Please help meeee? I can' t play kof 96 no team match and i can 't select blood for metal slug...
Do you think CarnEvil will be a compatible Light Gun ROM? I was disappointed not seeing it included from the factory! Edit: Just read you can't add games when using a CRT ;( Why is that? Ive been waiting for the light gun to release before I decide to make the upgrade to the PB10 but if that is the case I may stay with the DX-S ;(
Today my Pandora 10th arrived and with great hope I loaded NAOMI and atomiswave games, nothing worked and I just found out that it doesn't work for 15hz CRT screens, I want to die. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
Hi, your comment at the end of the video about cannot add games to CGA menu, does that mean added games don't appear when connected to Jamma? Or do they still appear somewhere, like the end of the games list? As per DX? Cheers!
@@TeamPandory Thanks! Hope they get that bug fixed in an update. Looks like a it would be a good upgrade on the DX jamma, if we can see the added games 👍
I did a little experimenting with adding games and have run into an issue. Maybe you might know what's going on. I added Dolphin Blue which is atomiswave. For some reason the Pandora's box picks it up as a DC game. I see a spreadsheet it created after the game is seen by Pandora. You can define how the game is displayed in the menu, video file location etc. Gamw title does work. However there is a emulator column that says DC. I tried changing it to AW etc and nothing seems to work. It always defaults back to DC. Any clue how to get it picked up as a atomiswave game?
Thanks for putting this video together. I have a small issue you might be able to help with - when I put the card into the pandora box and remove it, some folders are missing, for example the nds folder isn't in the list. I've tried adding it myself and then putting games in that folder but they don't appear at the end of the games list back on the pandora box. Any advice?
@@TeamPandory - thanks for replying so quickly. You've saved me wasting a few hours trying to get it to work! This video is great though, thanks for putting it together. It's a shame they couldn't make nds work. Any recommendations for good Pokemon games that work on the Pandora 10?
@@clay014 Good pokem... I only really played the OG Pokemon Blue back in the day. Bought them on the GBA after that, but they quickly gathered dust. tbh I'd look into the pokemon hacks where they mash up a few pokemon games into one. They're supposed to be pretty decent.
There is a problem with a white line on some pandora 10th (I've also uploaded a video) only when using a CRT, so it shouldn't be a graphics chip problem. Do you know that? Any chance it will be fixed when pandory becomes compatible?
3A disabled allowing game save states on added games, and even importing save data / options on this system. Nothing we can do outside beg 3A (or use a different solution!)
Sorry for the dumb question but do I need to keep the USB memory stick in every time I want to play the added game or the new game will get copies into the internal drive?
I HOPE it did it as default... Now I'm second guessing myself- give me a minute to check ... But AFAIK you just add the vertical game to the usb stock and it goes to TATE MODE.
Thanks for all your great content. Is there any way to save progress on added Pandora 10th games? I’ve added Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Zelda - A Link to the Past etc and they play fine off my inserted USB stick, but there’s no option in the pause menu to save progress, like with the original games. There’s no way I’ll be able to complete them in one sitting! Any ideas? Can I somehow add them onto the micro SD that’s in the Pandora 10th box?
You can't save added games. It's dumb, I know. What you could do is flip a ROM that's already in the original games menu. Find a game you don't use, then overwrite it with Zelda or whatever. Make sure you use the same ROM / zip filename, and also have a backup in case things get messed up.
Thanks for replying. I’m pretty new to this… do you mean get the micro SD card out of the Pandora box, use an SD card reader, find the ROM of an unwanted game, delete it and replace with my Zelda rom - but have renamed that exactly the same as whatever the unwanted rom was? Thanks for any guidance… I do appreciate it.
Thanks for the video, still on the fence. I have a DX with Pandory, any way to sort the ratio correction like you did with 1943? My Tate games always fill 16:9 full screen which makes them too long. I've got them to rotate with the config file but not turn to 4:3 once they have! Thanks!
@@Beaument Yeah, unfortunately SCART/Euro AV TVs are quite scarce in my country (see: non-existent)... There should be a few supergun reviews on RU-vid though
@@Beaument The combination of PB, supergun and PSU, ends up costing more than a Pi3/4 with an RGB-Pi scart cable (even at scalper prices...), and doesn't make very much sense from a practical standpoint. RGB-Pi OS would also probably work much better than the PB10 for low resolution in general.
tbh I don't think any of the added lightgun games folders work. It's as if they created them with good intentions, then gave up when they couldn't get it working or something
Again it looks like an after thought tack on, unCategorize and crammed to the bottom of the main list. when will they just open up the sd card and allow us access to the main list to add and remove games their only hurting there own sales
Whenever I add a game file, it creates a duplicate file with under score before title, in the game list (i.e. tekken, _tekken). Is there a way to stop this?
Hi just got the pan 10h console I am loving it so far. I do have a ? Though for anyone here how do I go about flipping vertical games to tate mod? I saw your awesome videos and it seemed to flip them automatically thx In advance for any help
What are the filenames you're using ? You'll probably be needing from a certain mame set or it won't work. Unfortunately I don't think 3A have even given any details on this.
I think I'm missing something basic. I have a formatted microSD that when I plug into the Pandora 10th either on the screen where you can select a game or in the setting screen, then remove it, it doesn't copy anything over. How do I get the Pandora 10th to copy over the file structures/files?
I have a 10th pandoras and modded my nba jam. i added a converter so i can i have 4 player. that works just fine but i am struggling adding games that will work with 4 player. i added nba jam and it worked fine but only 2 player. i also did nfl blitz and it didnt work at all. i am really struggling and need some help. i have tryed several diffrent roms and it isnt working with 4 player for nba jam and nfl blitz is not even booting.
10th doesn't support options files for most, if not all the emulators. 4 player nbajam needs access to the settings/ dips to get 4 player mode working well.
I tried adding naomi games to the folder. Both in a usb and the micro inside. They are not showing up. They are in a zip with all required files. Do they have to be in a certain format?
hello I followed your video, but it doesn't work, how can I do? for example street hop I load it, pandora detects the name but the sk loading blocks at 99% and then exits, I also installed the bios, in which folder should I insert it? I await your reply, thank you
It's possible it's already on the box as another alternative name. Street hoops = Street Hoop / Street Slam / Dunk Dream depending on the region. Arcade games can be a bit trivial to install as it needs to be the correct mame / fba ROM version exactly. If it isn't correct it'll fail.
thanks for the help for neo geo games i fixed it. now I bother you again for the naomi dreamcast games, in the folder I have to put the bios and the roms, with which extension? can you give me some advice?
No. There is no C64 emulator on this box. If you want C64 you'd be better off getting a box that supports emuelec, or a mini pc then install batocera on it.
Having a problem, adding PS1 games they all worked perfectly on my DX special but can’t get them to show on the 10th anniversary. Can anybody help? Thanks
You'd need to go into a lot more detail. How are you actually adding the games? - What is your USB stick formatted as? Are you adding the ps1 bios file to the folder? What game are you having problems with? How are they titled? - It's probably better to come to the Discord for help, but I'd honestly just start with only ONE game, and then start adding more once that's working fine.
Hi, thanks for replying back. I’ve managed to get the PS1 games working now only to find my PSP games though the files I have are ISO are they supported? Thanks
Unfortunately not. All of the games on the box already don't use the full estate of the screen (to work on a hori monitor) but if you add your own games they're in Tate
@@shawndavidson3425 The solution the only way to add games is you have to put the games on an actual USB stick and hook that up to the system then the added games will show up at the end of the game list once the system boots up you can’t just add the games to an SD card. They won’t show up so you have to use one of the USB ports. Meaning you’ll probably have to unplug one of the controllers.
@@fisto1980 DC Naomi aw folder. They need to be in .zip format from a newer mame set (0.206+). Also add the Naomi and atomiswave bios files to the same folder. If it isn't working, first try turning off HD filter and scanlines in the settings screen. If nothing , then try changing for another ROM file.
Hey, seems not to work anymore. Is there a link withe the needed Folders somewere? And can i switch the Coin Options. The Coin slot is just Working at Player one. Player two is not working now. Thats anoying to go into the options to insert coins for Player Two T_T
@@TeamPandory no, I can’t add games. Wenn I add to usb 1 or 2 my USB stick it won’t add the folders. 🥹. And I have a original Aero City. With one coin slot. With my old Pandora I can use both players with one coin slot. So the continue is working for both. On tue new 10 edit it only works for player one. 🤔
puedes ver en la tarjeta el numero de placa y buscarla en internet por lo general hay gente que sube las imagenes de restauracion.. pero debe coincidir con el numero de la placa.
@@TeamPandory I have found a way (kind of) I replaced Tekken 2 with Skullmonkeys and the save feature works. I had to put Skullmonkeys on the SD card and name it "tekken2" but it does work!!! I can only replace with like file formats (psx bin files can only replace psx bins, Genesis games have to be .gen format etc) Not ideal but opens up options.
@@exromand you mean save state or actual use of a memory card file ? The save state / file flip was known already, but trying to import save data is currently (AFAIK) not possible.
@@exromand Yeah, so even the save-state data is on the internal NAND. You cannot access it outside using the "load" and "save" items in the pandora menu. They block all emulator settings. Very frustrating.
@@TheBlazingkidtes I have them both, this JAMMA one can do CGA whereas the Family one cannot ;-) .. fingers crossed it may get fixed in a firmware update... Come oonnn! :D
@@TeamPandory yeah hope so but I double check it and now it seems to work just some games do and some don't like ah fighting layers don't have sound but it works I don't know if I need win zip for all of this but I'm thankful that some does work
New video from some guy trying to scam people out of $860.00+ for the complete pandora kit with the guns, no idea how he got them this early. I want this but concerned about what light guns 3D games it can run when added, it's missing a lot of 3D light gun games. I hope when Team Pandory review the guns, it shows what light gun games it can't play. Holding on cuz I don't want to spend $600+ on a mini pc + 2 Sinden + the work to setup Batocera 36 light gun image to my ALU.
Lol how much ? That better be Canadian. Tbh I don't think these pandora boxes can really compete against a properly set up pc with batocera and gun4ir, but I'm willing to let them try... ... 😂 No seriously, we know how this is going to turn out 😄
