Great review and ow men this would be the next level if it worked with the online play 😳 You could mod arcades, get bartops or 2 player arcade stick and play with people online. Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks bro, I'm going to put this in a Pandora's stick and send one your way soon. Maybe we can have better luck with it, I doubt it, but we can at least try. Thanks for watching my dude!
A firmware update for a Pandora's Box is like expecting Arcade1up to include quality speakers in their machines. It's an utter pipe dream! Excellent video Ralph! I have the DX mini and if I'm feeling adventurous I'll see if I can get Pandory to run on it. PaPOw!!!
LOL, thanks for watching man. For sure try out Pandory on the DX, you will love it. It fixes the majority of the problems with it. If you need help, DM me on Twitter. I put a video tutorial and the links in the Description though.
@@RetroRalph Awesome! Yeah Pandory is God's work! The only thing that kept me from doing it months ago is the fact that I have the DX mini and didn't feel like tearing down my mini to remove the OS microsd card. 😂😂
Haha thanks for this video man, I was super excited for the concept but it looks like a real mess. Gonna stick with Piepacker for now, it's been working great for me!
I can’t get behind a mess like this . The new feature needs major improvement. I do like the game library so that gets a thumbs up. Thanks for putting this out there for us to see.
Hey bud, he does, but he's having a hard time getting a hold of one of the boards. Everything coming out of China seems a big delayed (again) at the moment. Thanks for watching my bud!
@@RetroRalph I'll watch his review also..I must say this is turning into a real option.. I've got a few boxes laying around.. but not the DX... anyways thanks for replying
Dude, People have been jailbreaking with Pandory for a while now. 3:4 ratio, installing new games and better graphics all can be done easily. Pandory team also do updates. Great discord community.
Yeah, I'm not always on top of everything so for me Pandory team was a new thing. Now that I know it exists and how awesome it is, I'm for sure a fan! Thanks for watching!
Always steered clear of Pandoras Box in favour of RetroPie, bit more configuration to do but for the most part its better emulation and runs as it was ment to. Might circle back though and check out Team Pandory, could be worth if if they are fixing the long standing issues the Box has
Fightcade Fightcade Fightcade!!!!! spread the word guys. It's the best place to play retro games online BY FAAAAAR! Nothing comes close. Lets all meet up in Fightcade and play some Final Fight and Cadilacs and Dinosaurs.
Nice vid. Looks like an interesting product. Especially how it (shamelessly) runs RetroArch but has a yzkof romset. Wondering a lot of the performance issues are from the enforced gfx upscaling? Would probably be very easy to mod if you might have no need for it 🤐 it's very similar when running RetroArch upscaled on cheap hardware when online (like... possibly certain home arcade systems we know about).
Thanks for watching and checking it out. I would send you the other board if you're interested. If you can make some progress on improving the performance, that would be awesome. Let me know...
I would have to check but I don't think that's supported at this time. It would probably help with the emulation side but that's about it. You would always be outputting at the right aspect ratio if your using video out the jamma edge.
What a bummer, man. I have a Pandora Games 3D in a Street Fighter Arcade1Up and I love it for what it is. I got excited at the prospect of playing online against people, but here we are. Just gonna stick with what I have.
Is it werth getting a one player arcad machine off then I've got super computer x do I need n made my Owen arcade so cud be a new pater or new machine do I really need it is all stoping me at mo
The version I linked to in the description should, but you can back up your card and try it, it will fail if it's not compatible. I have a Special, I can give it a shot and let you know.
Pandory has support for the DX Special from 1.11. We're currently fixing bugs, gearing up towards it's public release. Early access is on our Patreon if you fancy an early fiddle.
@@RetroRalph thanks man, ill try it and also back it up just in case. cant wait to see your results aswell. i initially wanted to order the ex version but went with the dx special as its supposedly the most stable. the ex version has a diff processor but some games still stutter like MK1, unlike this DX special
hı my friend ı want to buy pandora e sport but ı want to plat virtua striker 2 football game and add to psp ps1 dreamcast and mame roms can you help me
hi great review, i need your help i have a pandora esport but no luck in firmware, if you have an image copy from you sdcard in esport that would be a great help thank you..
So let me get this straight... there's a guy from Japan named Tim who goes by "JohnLuke"? Sounds sketchy to me. Even if this did work properly, I seriously doubt that you'd ever get enough concurrent players to find a match.
Me too man, maybe on the next one. They do tend to fix things but break other things in the process... haha. Let's hope the next on is better, it would be cool to have a plug and play online option for modding arcade cabinets or stand alone fightsticks.
ouch! I mean I could understand lag like that going from AZ to Japan, but two boards in the same ROOM?! (at least I'm assuming they're not far from each other) also yeah that filter is ugly AF! I never liked it at most I just turn scanlines on when I can (like my modded atgames legends mini, which keeps the right aspect ratio as well) and if I DO wanna play online I can just plug the stick directly into my PC and hop on fightcade or whatever)
You would imagine they tested this crap before going to market. I have a Pandoras box and love it for the game selection and cheapo price, but this is a total waste of money if the one major feature it touts is bologna:(
Been waiting to hear about pandoras box netplay and now here it is. Im not buying it! Was planning to throw this into my sf2 fullsize cab.. big disappointment!
Great review and ow men this would be the next level if it worked with the online play 😳
You could mod arcades, get bartops or 2 player arcade stick and play with people online.
Thanks for the video 👍
I know man, I was so excited that they would be able to maybe make something that works. LOL. Anyway, thanks for watching my wicked friend!
Damn it. I really wanted this to work. Maybe the next version. Good vid my guy.

Very retro... it's been a while since I saw someone go head-to-head on dial-up.
Team Pandory FTW!
LMFAO!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In my experience boxes are usually empty... Or maybe with a little cheese stuck to the top. And one time, pepperoni. What a day that was!
Haha thanks for this video man, I was super excited for the concept but it looks like a real mess. Gonna stick with Piepacker for now, it's been working great for me!
They guys over at Team Pandory are the best. Best Patreon buck ever spent.

yes! the retro godfather is back with another great video!!!... wonder if wicked knows about this😮

Cool concept! Definitely different
Good episode! I am not really into these "boxes" but your video is enthusiastic enough to get others in!!
Glad you enjoyed it Todd! I hope all is well my friend! Where did you put the Twippy?
@@RetroRalph I have it on my broadcasting table...to drive my haters NUTS!
Given the quality of the average Pandora's Box, I'm actually impressed this connects AT ALL.
LOL, me too... haha.

Great video and I really enjoy seeing these types of things tested. It's too bad online play was a bust.
This could be a game changer if it grows and works better.
Agreed

@@RetroRalph absolutely sir! Will follow up in a bit.
I live in New York and I have a Cherry Master arcade game I was wondering if you have ideas how I can get it fixed
im using pandora with the cga video from the jamma output rgb video , this pandory tool will make what kind of difference in this configuration ?
I would have to check but I don't think that's supported at this time. It would probably help with the emulation side but that's about it. You would always be outputting at the right aspect ratio if your using video out the jamma edge.
@@RetroRalph thats exactly what i was wondering , thanks bro !
What a bummer, man. I have a Pandora Games 3D in a Street Fighter Arcade1Up and I love it for what it is. I got excited at the prospect of playing online against people, but here we are. Just gonna stick with what I have.
Hopefully, they will find a way to fix the code on it for future releases of the product.
@@RetroRalph I won't hold my breath. 😂
@@infernaltim 😂 please don’t, we need you around man. ✊🏼
is possible to install EMUELEC in this card? is there a tutorial? thanks
Emu chicken has left the building
Thanks for saving me some money @Ralph!
Is it werth getting a one player arcad machine off then I've got super computer x do I need n made my Owen arcade so cud be a new pater or new machine do I really need it is all stoping me at mo
@retroralph great video man! does this pandory tool work on the dx special version? thats the pandora box that i own

What about Pipacker? Have you messed with that? How's the online play?
Piepacker is good but it's console roms only at this point. That would be awesome if it supported MAME actually. I should inquire, good call my dude!
very strange that simple online multiplayer doesn't work in 2023 as I used to play on kaillera server playing mame, nes, etc even early 2000s...
Are you off Whats Not App? I was gna buy that dreamcast! 😂
Can it run 64 n Dreamcast well
hı my friend ı want to buy pandora e sport but ı want to plat virtua striker 2 football game and add to psp ps1 dreamcast and mame roms can you help me
hi great review, i need your help i have a pandora esport but no luck in firmware, if you have an image copy from you sdcard in esport that would be a great help thank you..
Tha ks for the look... a little off topic but is anyone else tired of that stupid Evony game commercials
So let me get this straight... there's a guy from Japan named Tim who goes by "JohnLuke"? Sounds sketchy to me. Even if this did work properly, I seriously doubt that you'd ever get enough concurrent players to find a match.
No, there's a guy in a spacecraft called John Luke, and he is me. Hello. I am John Luke.
Wow wish it worked.
Me too man, maybe on the next one. They do tend to fix things but break other things in the process... haha. Let's hope the next on is better, it would be cool to have a plug and play online option for modding arcade cabinets or stand alone fightsticks.
Need to review the king of air 2 one new cpus only lcd though . So let me know when you get that out to me lol
It’s the netcode. It just isn’t good. It isn’t there yet
Well, hopefully they can get it resolved on future iterations of the board. Thanks so much for watching!
Also Try Parsec ;)
thx u Ralph
What they need is Roll Back Netcode
ouch! I mean I could understand lag like that going from AZ to Japan, but two boards in the same ROOM?! (at least I'm assuming they're not far from each other) also yeah that filter is ugly AF!
