Ferro Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Any thoughts on Pandora Box arcade? Are they any good? Which is the best one on the market currently? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacies Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Yeah I like them. They're good value. The latest one is always the best because they upgrade fairly often with new features. There is a new one coming out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namastepat Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The only two 'genuine' 3A games ones currently are the Pandora's Box 6 and the Pandora's Box DX. All the various other ones like 8, 9, 9D etc are all 'clones' of the 3A product. If you want the best one, get a 3A one, as they generally have a faster processor than the clones. This means they run games like Mortal Kombat better than the clones. This is the official store of 3A games. https://pandorasbox.aliexpress.com/store/937838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsUrFeminitzNYImNietYoma Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Pandoras box 6 lets you add games. The others, you're locked into what's in the list. Here's a good resource for PB6 https://zerojay.com/blog/pandoras-box-6-community-collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyj965 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The proper 3A carts have quad core processors where the clones have single core. I had a 6 which I gave to my brother when his older one died. I have just got a DX and am just starting to play with that. They have an SD card inside that has all of the games on it. You can remove the SD card and copy the entire thing to a USB drive. Then run everything from that while keeping the SD card safe in case the USB craps out. I'm hoping to be able to remove all vertical games as i'll be running mine on a horizontal setup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetaste Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 DX is the best one thus far For those wanting to play 3D games the 3D is also an option. DX and 3D seem to be top of the pile at this point in time. DX being being the offical 3A product and 3D an unofficial clone. And the King of Air 2 from 3A for vertical screen orientation.

onetaste Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I had a deeper look at zerojay site today and the dischord channel is chock full of useful Q&A. It is a full fledged forum for PB including hacking if you are into coding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauls Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've read that the DX supports a trackball, but believe that's the only unit that does. While I started out with the genuine 3A Games pandora box 4,5 & 6, the DX spec wise is miles behind the current clones which have evolved faster. Still good for the older classics but struggles with newer consoles like N64, Dreamcast etc. Zerojay has worked a lot with PB6 and DX and compiled a great games collection for the PB6 - given that the biggest issue with such consoles is the consistency of titles on them. Currently, the pandora's box 3D GB3000 or 18s/Saga s812 will give you the best performance. https://electroarcade.com.au/blogs/arcade/game-console-pandoras-box-key-7-3d-dx-5-6-7-9d-11-12-18s-saga-esport-what-to-look-for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SideBuRn Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Can anyone tell me their experience with shipping rates from the official (3A) pandora aliexpress page? Is the $5 ePacket price correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauls Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Purchased from them years ago now and they are reliable. That said anything that ships at that price, you can expect to take 30+ days. 3A are nice to deal with and the original and great for playing arcade classics, so don't expect to play dreamcast, n64 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotty Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Seems like I got a dodgy Pandora 6 from the two purchased. Was not reading the flash drive all too often. Seems ok now after reseating connectors and slightly raising the 5v to 5.1. Had it for over a year now but only recently its been stable since the changes.

Russo Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Has anyone used a Pandora's box gamepad converter to connect to a PC via USB? Curious if possible, running a DX at the moment but interested if this would convert it. Doesn't seem to be a pin layout either of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockdoctor Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hi guys, bit of a novice here but found this thread. can anyone advise on what a similar/same product to this might be as this seller is currently out of stock, also does anyone have any feedback on which one would be best to buy? https://electroarcade.com.au/collections/arcade-machines/products/the-original-king-of-retro-arcade-gaming-single-deck-8000-titles-gamestore assuming this is one of the newer/newest models. Have seen a few on eBay but not sure if they are the real deal or not look forward to your feedback. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
