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 ;)
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 😊
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.
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
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
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. RUclips 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.
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.
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^^
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...?
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 🎮🕹
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.
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.
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?
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.
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 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.
@@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 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!
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. 👍
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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 - ruclips.net/video/PUnVeDuAicg/видео.html Pandora 5 vs 9 and 9D is an copy of 9... :D
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? 😁
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 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
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?
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?
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?
For the pandora games 3d version that comes with a controller, could you use a usb fight stick on it? What type of usb controllers work (xinput\D input)
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.
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
thank you for your Video, I loved to watch it. I bought a PD BOX DX This week, unfortunately before I watched this video. Im shocked about tearing with older games like wonder boy, shinobi , etc. also neogeo Games like Alpha Mission 2 shows tearing. Capcom games run better. The older arcade games aRe the highest priority to run super smooth for me. Do you have an idea? Is the PD BOD 3D the choice? Thank you in advance.
Hi, I have a question… I bought an arcade and there is a Pandora’s box 5 inside it. I wondered if i can just “swap” it for a newer version like DX Special? Or will this mean i have to rearrange the cables and stuff too?
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 !
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!
Hi. I build a weecade with two joystick USB encoder zero delay. If i use a pandora's box in it , can i connect the joystick in USB ports or i must use the wiring of pandora for the connection? Thankyou for your care.
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 RUclips 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.
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.
Hi all does any know about this new version of pandora box 3d I saw a video on RUclips 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.
is it possible to connect the pandora jama box directly to the tv? thought to buy cheap and good as possible and thought to play only with controls. just need a box where you can play all the games. anything you can recommend then?
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 🤷♂️
Hi, how do we access the "Quick Load and Save" option on the "Pandora 3d Games"? Is there a setting that needs to be turned on or some specific keys to press?
Some boxes haves this option. When pressing pause button in-game. And.. they also forget add this functions with some emulators on the DX example. It's messed up 🤔

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?
I have the same question. Wondering if I can just hook it up to my ps4
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?
Awesome job "wicked " but I think you missed pandora's 9d on your video. ? ??
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 - ruclips.net/video/PUnVeDuAicg/видео.html
Pandora 5 vs 9 and 9D is an copy of 9... :D
@@WickedGamerCollector cool, thanks for the reply, wicked gamer always wicked!✌
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? 😁
Still you buy the great stuff... I punish myself with the crappy stuff... :P
Thanks for watching ! :)
@@WickedGamerCollector and we are grateful for your sacrifice! 😁👍
@@WickedGamerCollector have you experienced the WiFi versions? Are there any noticeable delays with the joysticks?
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 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
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?
With all these boxes Wireless is looked at the controllers.
Non of them ave internet function.
Tha ks fore the video only can i yus al the pandarabox fore 1 player arcade ? Dont want 2P but dont si 1P pandara box ?
very nice explain
Thanks for the video !!
Pandora Games 3D us still the best one.
Thanks and yes if you have no budget :P
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?
Elias Turner Most of them have PGM games on them
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?
which stick on the market is the best to play I mean the same feeling as an arcade?
This is the first time I have seen you on jere
Nice video brotha..😎🏁🏁
The pandora box 3d is looking like a snack
Julianmario fwiw, the wifi model is recommended.
Can a single keyboard/usb be programmed for 2 players?
For the pandora games 3d version that comes with a controller, could you use a usb fight stick on it? What type of usb controllers work (xinput\D input)
Adding controllers is a nightmare ..... Pandora DX is the only one that supports some controller beside the china versions 😅
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.
It still amazes me that people can play these games on a HD screen. That would drive me nuts.
I honestly gave up on the PB. Searching for one here in the states on eBay or Amazon is a total crap shoot.
Weird they sell no good ones over there ... :(
Why no Ali-Express ??
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
thank you for your Video, I loved to watch it. I bought a PD BOX DX This week, unfortunately before I watched this video. Im shocked about tearing with older games like wonder boy, shinobi , etc. also neogeo Games like Alpha Mission 2 shows tearing. Capcom games run better. The older arcade games aRe the highest priority to run super smooth for me. Do you have an idea? Is the PD BOD 3D the choice? Thank you in advance.
Pandory Tool software is great for making the PB3D way better by the way.
CX and DX have no software support to fix many problems.
Hi, I have a question… I bought an arcade and there is a Pandora’s box 5 inside it. I wondered if i can just “swap” it for a newer version like DX Special? Or will this mean i have to rearrange the cables and stuff too?
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 !
Can you set a credit or life limit per playthrough so if you want to run a tournament no one can just max the credits
Have you tried the snes wireless controllers from aliexpress which are connected with USB on the Pandora box? Think it would work?
Can you change the ratio to 4:3 ?
Nice!
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!
I have the Pandora box 9 in a arcade. I want to upgrade. What is the best jamma box in 2022?
I can't find the Pandora Box 3D Games on the Padora Box Official on Alibaba only on IYO Gaming Store
Hi. I build a weecade with two joystick USB encoder zero delay. If i use a pandora's box in it , can i connect the joystick in USB ports or i must use the wiring of pandora for the connection? Thankyou for your care.
Hi mate, what file type for ps1 games does the pandora like the most? im not having any luck installing psx games
If wanting to use the handheld gamepad, is it cable only? Or Bluetooth option available?
Jesus u need a degree in what version to buy.
Yea it SUCKS. I just got one and not happy with it at all. Its a risk, and you're not going to able to return these things from China.
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 RUclips 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.
@@westmcgee9320 ok thanks
Is it possible to create a custom game list for the pandora box 6 for the first 1300 games
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.
Hi all does any know about this new version of pandora box 3d I saw a video on RUclips the box connects to WiFi it look great you can download games direct on it.
Yes new version is coming, they are moving from the 2 player arcade sticks to Retro Home Consoles now. ;)
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.
is it possible to connect the pandora jama box directly to the tv? thought to buy cheap and good as possible and thought to play only with controls. just need a box where you can play all the games. anything you can recommend then?
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 🤷♂️
Can you swap them out between different 2 player arcade controller. The ribbon plug looks the same
Do you have a link to the official store please as there are too many to choose the real from fake sites? Thanks
Hi, how do we access the "Quick Load and Save" option on the "Pandora 3d Games"? Is there a setting that needs to be turned on or some specific keys to press?
Some boxes haves this option.
When pressing pause button in-game.
And.. they also forget add this functions with some emulators on the DX example.
It's messed up 🤔
@@WickedGamerCollector thank you. Seems I might not have it on mine. Appreciate the help 🙏
