One weird thing with the these is the auto fire requires hitting start plus the fire button to activate the auto fire. Helpful for shmups. Also some games will have wonky controls using a usb controller. Most Pandora’s have aspect ratio issues. The Pandora treasure 2 is the only one I know(I own this version)that has proper aspect ratios and treasure series is a knockoff variant of official Pandora. It has a lot of the hack roms that you saw in this one but has the main version for majority of the games. Also has Nintendo arcade games. The best ones to buy are the Pandora 3d or treasure series. Not sure about the 10th anniversary version out now.
@@Bo_Knows_Tecmo I thought some Pandora’s box you could add your own games too. But i didn’t take the sd card out to see if adding Roms was a possibility. I don’t think this version you can do it.
@@therexershow you can add roms but it isn’t easy to do. You have to use some third party software to add the rom and put in the art and other stuff. It is pretty difficult so you luckily have the one where you can add roms natively via the store which is much easier. I never tried to mess with adding roms because if you kill the sd card then the device will be useless. Team pandory is probably the best place to look online for help with this stuff.
@@therexershow yeah these things are very sketchy. But if you can get them at a low price I think it is a good entry way into home arcade. Mine has 2600 games and it took forever to go through each game and hide the crap and config each game to my liking.
There are literally 100s of different types of Pandoras box systems out There and NOT ONE of em ever had Killer Instinct arcade. A used laptop is better. Way less costly too. Just sayin
@@TheRealJPhillips I don’t disagree. I found this interesting because of the form factor. All in one case. Some of these have like 20,000 games and they still dont have it. lol. I think they have put a console version of it though ?
Rexer well produced and informative video. I was wondering if you can plug this into your big screen TV and play it that way on your couch. I wish the device just worked with a power brick adapter so not dependent on batteries.
@@hollywoodpolo9872 it does have the power brick plug into wall so you don’t need to charge batteries. And yes you can plug into your tv using hdmi out.
@@show-me-retro the rom police , they live inside of my head, the rom police, they come to me in my bed, the rom police; they come to arrest me..oh no…. Cause they’re waiiiting for me, they’re looking for me ,….
@@DarkRaven96 will you stop making alt accounts and make sense for once. I dont' care about units with roms on it. Get over the rom part dude, its' part of the industry , get over it. And stop making alts and hiding behind a keyboard.
so whats powering this unit? i dont see anything online. and everything can run dreamcast these days lol its funny some companies still use it as a bragging point
@@kiodiekin you’d have to Google what in a Pandora’s box but many of them have different specs and I can’t seem to find exact specs for the “3D Forest”. There’s also a process for adding games but I didn’t even want to bother to learn it.
At 10 pounds not sure this is really portable? I think the stare button isn’t a mistake. I would hit it and stare at my wallet wondering why the hell I bought this🤷🏻

I think the idea is really cool. Love that they added that Stare button!
@@VegasArcadeFan 😂😂 no doubt a great addition for a button.
I've always been curious about this one, cool concept, thanks for showing it off.
@@carlo1132 I like it. Just can’t play vertical games on it. Lol.
Looks like I need to make a GRS Carry-A-Case
You could do better for sure.
@@GlensRetroShow Do It Glen!
wow this is a really neat machine!
@@SuperEarther it’s pretty cool. I actually like the idea .
@@therexershow most innovative i have seen from pandoras box in a while!

Hiding the duplicates and all the garbage games is critical to making this user friendly.

Was this delivered by howie mandel and some models???
Deal or no deal on this ?
Is it worth the format to remove the game board and possibly add a pi or stick PC?
@@VegasArcadeFan that’s a great idea , I may do that and put something else in it. Just have to make sure the video out will work is all.

@@kiodiekin agree. Lets put it this way, they never out Killer Instinct Arcade on these things. Has to be a reason. lol.
@@therexershow no nfl blitz no ki only runs up to Dreamcast. Ya the same story
A box from China… great start lol
Okay this doesn’t look like a functional briefcase at all. Looks like a toy.
You got it !! But definitely better than a briefcase full of work and documents.
can you add games on it
@@hatebreed516 there is a way to add games to pandoras boxes but I’m not sure how it’s done.
