My dad got me a Pandora Treasure 3D King of Fighters edition for Christmas a while back. I liked it a lot, even added some extra games on there like Rabbit, an obscure 2D fighter by EA.
It took me around 2 years of buying all of these pandora's box versions to find the best one. They keep releasing I keep buying want to know much as possible information. So at the end I can help you all out ;)
Thanks for the dedication and thoughtful FAQs you supply! My question is: are you independently wealthy? To be able to support your frequent uploads of packages from China, Pandora's boxes, etc? So cool.
Very in depth and well explained video. Thank you so much for putting time, effort and research into this for us all. You are a gaming fountain of knowledge my friend 😊
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. RU-vid and some people show how to do it step by step.
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.
Thank you for this video!! Pandora game 3d (first link) is the one I personally want the most... I really need to get it and save some money. Perfect Christmas present for myself
My focus on Pandora game machine is 1. Which machine can change display ratio to 4:3 from 16:9 2. Which machine has no delay while playing games? 3. Which machine has the best joy stick and button installed? Could you please recommend which one I should buy? BTW, What I don't really care is Expendability on games, 3D games.
great video. very detailed. one critique, on some of your videos you say the systems are not perfect "in many ways", i would prefer if you could be more specific about the issues. Thank you
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...?
Another great video. 👍 As you say, it certainly is a jungle out there! Once again the Wicked Gamer comes to the rescue with a great comparison and explains the pros and cons. Now... Decisions, decisions, where's my wallet? 😁
0:55 the biggest baddest and newest that has no struggle with the most games on it, is what most of us are looking for, I guess! 3d games too in my case. Which one has the least issues with more modern games? i struggle so hard to even find specs on these things nowadays^^
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 🎮🕹
@@WickedGamerCollectorthankx but Hey Wicked I never received the package I won on the gaming channel was I suppose to Email you again I thought the 1st time was Legit 🤷♀️idk
I've been watching many of your Pandora video's Richard. I've been wanting to get one myself but I'm waiting until I have the money for it. I've been wanting to play golden age arcade games (late 70's-mid 80's) I love games from that time like Tapper, Pole Position, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Berserk, Asteroids and many others.
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.
I was tempted by the 3D box but just got a Pandora 6 original and I'm more than happy that it just plays arcade games only, I have my PC and PS4 for the other types of games. It's an arcade machine at the end of the day after all plus I was building a cabinet for it as I want the ARCADE feeling when I use it, one thing about the pandora 6 kit if you aren't buting a pre-made controller etc the install instructions you get with it OMG hahaha. it's very basic and doesn't really explain anything much, no user guide nothing so be prepared to do a little googling. That said it's ACE and well worth getting one!
I have bought two and been pretty happy with both. One was an in-person purchase after getting to play with it. (5S) The other was via links from a RU-vid after seeing a couple or reviews of that specific model. I paid their price and got the same exact model and went with the same seller because I wanted their same smooth purchase outcome. Like another commenter, my 3D wifi model arrived early as hell compared to the original estimated shipping time. I was ecstatic and it performs very well. I hope it works out the same for the rest of you.
@@westmcgee9320 I ordered the 3d wifi also similar to the orange one in this video.....how long do these last? im planning on running mine 24/7 at my work
Sj Rush no idea but I have high hopes since most of it is solid state, the fans are often replaceable, and some function very well with no fans at all.
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.
The Pandora Games 3D is the new one, with save state support for the old 2-D fighters right? Also does thr Pandora Games 3D support IGS/PGM arcade games like Martial Masters?
Great video! Wish I came across your channel before buying my PD 6S! 😂....would the PD Games 3D mainboard (your link to aliexpress) be a straight swap for my PD 6S?
What I know of that older versions have low 480p resolution output and many games run very choppy. Only still a lot of games seem to be running just fine, still if you search... search for the real PB5 they are old... and have good overal support.
Incredibile video, congratulation. 👍👍💪 One stupid question : - Pandora box 3d, obviously has got / plays the classic 2d games too , isn't It ? Thanks for patience and kind answering. Bye 😘
Hi wicked. I'm wanting a Pandora box, I've got a neo geo mvs so can play them brilliant games but I'm after a box that has all other 2d arcade games like capcon. I'll be using a supergun as well so can use my neo geo stick. 👍
What do think about this one (2650 in 1 Pandora Saga Box 3D Family-Version board 40p arcade PCB for free play Coin HD video Jamma games HDMI VGA Motherboard)
I see this is a version compares with the Pandora Games 3D, wide range support of platforms only it's not perfect if it comes to emulation. New video comes online with all the Retro Game Box... so stay tuned buddy !
Your video has been quite informative. With that said, the Pandora Box system that is displayed at 3:11 in your video? Is that an old model? And if so is it any good, or does it suffer from low resolution and screen tearing? Thank you for your time and video.
I've got a 5s. Have been very happy with it to be honest. 1700 games including my favourites such as rtype, rastan and salamander. I am concidering an upgrade but have heard that the jamma style socket is wired differently in different units. Is that true?
Oh well...I've bit the bullet. Ordered a pandoras box 12 with 3310 games. Hope it fits by box. Shame it's going to take months to get here from China. Flamin coronavirus.
I did get a Pandora Box XII Jamma Version. In that one their were a few games that were unplayable; Mortal Kombat, Twin Cobra 2, Darius Gaiden, Elevator Action Returns, Vapor Trail and Turtles In Time. Those are the ones that I tried are are unplayable. Perhaps I got a replica copy or something or it was just badly emulated. However, I am trying my luck again with the Pandora 11s Pro it hope that that one will be a better turn out.
You have a good point only no I did not. 9 or 9D are the same mainboard only difference are the games at the moment. See this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PUnVeDuAicg.html Pandora 5 vs 9 and 9D is an copy of 9... :D
Thank you for the video I have bugged you about it in the past Still not got it after I was cheated by the company I brought from they never sent it and went bust 😭
Can the Jamma unit, like those on beginning of your video with the usb connections etc be used for plug and play rather than buying the whole arcade box set up?
What is the wireless function used for on some of these? Is it only for updating games or can some connect wirelessly to the TV or even support online play?
One thing you dont mention is: how do you use the small pandora boxes? Cause they have a bunch of outputs and stuff but also part of the board is sticking out with the connectors as if it were a game cartridge. Does that go somewhere? I have never seen anyone on the entire internet explaining this. How are these set up?
Hi there, Thanks for all the videos. They helped me a lot with my choice. In your videos you are often talking about FAKE versions. How can I recognize a fake from a real one? P.S. Also how to make the difference between 3D and GAMES 3D. Thank you.
Great summery for Pandora, can I ask have you seen or tried the "Pandora style" android emulators, I have seen them with what looked like almost Pandora clone, but with android and all the emulation systems included with that, Dolphin etc.
I would think not. These Pandora’s use amlogic s912 with 1gb. It lags on n64 and Dreamcast. I even went above and installed retropi on it, had the same issues and has more options to tweak it. You might want to drop in a Odroid N2 4gn to play Dreamcast, sega saturn, and n64 at full speed. I been using Emuline to hack my systems.
Joey, Ebay and Amazon have some of them but as "Wicked" said Ali-Express...That is where I got the PB 9D, home version (not Jamma) comes with the harness to wire up to a dual joystick and coin selector, two wireless look alike Playstation controllers. No power suppl included, no big deal is a standard 12v 5amp, you can possibly use an old ATX computer PS. St the 3H store, about $68 us and $7 shipping
I got the Pandora Games 3D and I'm worrying about whether I can save progress or not. I can see there are GBAs here. Whenever I save and load, then go back, everything's gone.
What is the best mini arcade unit with built in screen Wicked? Are they worth buying? Also, do we need the actual arcade box to play the Pandora box or can we just buy the motherboard and pop in our ps controller?
Hi all does any know about this new version of pandora box 3d I saw a video on RU-vid the box connects to WiFi it look great you can download games direct on it.
Yep. I got one. It’s awesome. Like the Wicked one said, nothing is perfect but it is the best I’ve ever seen. And the recommended seller has been exceptional.
Ok i am confused and hope you can answer-me a question. I had ordered a Pandora Box 9D but... I have received a Pandoras Treasure 9S....( thats what it says on the Tv once connected) with 2710 games. Is it a Pandora Box 9s or if not whats the differences to the Pandora box and which pandora box is it? It is orange in color like the one you shown here.... Grrrr so frustrating not having any idea if its a fake or genuine .... Ps it plays well and has Games/Recent/Search and it will perform the search well .... Help please 🤷♂️
I currently have the DX arcade in my 20 year old cab using a jamma to chamma adapter with kick harness. Im looking for a Pandora's box that I can put in my arcade cab and still use my CRT that supports Dream cast because I want to play Marvel Vs Capcom 2.
Hi mate love the channel very helpful. Do u think the 9d is worth the money or pay the extra to get the official 6. Are the emulations of the games that different
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
How many games does the proper Pandora Box 3D have? I just notice that there are various number of games when looking to buy and I want to get the proper version...thanks!
