Let's make PANDORA'S BOX better

- I like my Pandora's Box, but I don't like the buttons, or the joystick, or the led lights.
In this video, I'm going to upgrade the buttons and stuff, and see if it behaves and feels more like an old arcade machine.
Just because I can.
Hope you enjoy!

Stupid Box
Great video, i think you can put another led strip o the top to make a better internal light
@@christopherbolis2048 Or just move it to the middle.
Awesome! That film protector removed made it look brand new!
Yeah, it was a nice surprise seeing that film. It really does look brand new now! 😍
@@StezStixMix the music made it extra sexy though
Surely they feel more… SOLID!?
They do.
And don't call me Shirley.
@@sk4lmanand stolid?
You should of got the Sanwa click delete versions. Those a very annoying
Steve I used to work for an amusement company back in my 20's (30 years ago) and leaf switches were the norm. But you had to clean them all the time, even if they had gold contacts. take a 1MM / 1/8" slice off the side of a red eraser and use that to slide in between the contacts to clean them. At the time, micro-switches were the bees knees, a lot less maintenance. Love your videos brother.
Ah, yeah I can see why micro switches would be popular for maintenance! You can't beat the leaf switch for the button-pressing experience though. Much more authentic to me! 😍
if you need to tighten up the knob/ball (it will loosen over time from general use) just put a screwdriver into the centre screw on the underside of the joytsick. Turn that one way (right) & the knob the other and it will tighten up
Yeah, I did wince a bit as he scratched the column up with his bare pliers...
That’s a good tip - thanks. I’ve been suffering with spinny knobs for ages. They always loosen at the worst time! 🕹️
You’re supposed to put your screwdriver in the bottom stick screw to tighten and loosen the “knob”
I love everything about it! Great work Steve! Better then factory for sure. I wonder if adding some kind if diffuser to the LED strip will help with the harshness of the light. Something opaque-ish and plastic like a strip from a milk jug? 🤷
Ooh, that's a good idea Chris. I might give that a go! 👍
“… wasn’t quite as sexy as I’d thought it would be”. Sadly, that’s true of many things in life. 😎
Awesome seeing you work on some arcade equipment. I’d love to see more. One thing I learned is when removing the … “knob,” 😂 there is a slot for a flathead screwdriver on the base of the shaft. Set a screwdriver there and twist the ball top. That way you don’t risk damaging the shaft with pliers. All the best! I have really enjoyed your content!
shaft and knob in the same sentence.....i think i`m on the wrong homepage here....
We need more qualitier videos like this
that light would be better if it was more centered and not on the bottom I bet.
Move the LED strip to the side wall so its less dazzling. maybe upgrade it to a 'chasing'/addressable strip (argb) so you can have different modes or lower the brightness.
Also I'd like to add, maybe add a diffuser along it so it's not such a harsh light and instead softer
Run WLED on the addressable LED strip for all sorts of options.
Let’s. Make. Pandora s. Box. Better
Damn... A bonus Peel - you have almost a completely new device now! I am exceptionally jealous... I've wanted to make my own arcade machine for ever... I just lack the...skills... to actually build the cabinet itself. Maybe an idea for a future second channel project? Put that Pandora into a full size cabinet. I'm sure your new house will have room right? :P
😁 I don't think my missus would agree! But yeah, I'd love to have a full size cabinet. Maybe a table-top version would be a good compromise! 😬
@@StezStixMix Yeah that would work. I think that would make a cool 2nd channel series.
@@StezStixMix i made a full size one with a raspberry pi and sanwa buttons and sticks, built an amplifier from parts from Ali express and speakers from an old Bluetooth speaker I had, it's a really fun project if you have space for it ☺️
@@StezStixMix there are also wall mount fold down designs around.
Steve is playing with his knobb again
Also, just thought, if you're into pinball emulation, you could also add flipper side buttons to the ends of the Pandora box.
I'm 45 and still laughed like a child at "Knob".
Second LED strip, maybe?
As a fighting game player, I open and tweak my arcade stick all the time. It was entertaining watching you try to learn how to swap the parts
I like to start with the nobs, too. 😅
excellent work on upgrading it!
to nippick a little i would have made the P2 side with blue buttons since P1 is historically red
Got all that shit on my arcade
Red for me - looks more old school
Great video. Ya, I built a tabletop arcade and bought the generic buttons and the Sanwa and man they are night and day with how they feel and sound. I wouldn't use anything but the expensive ones now.
Sanwa is the way to go… Japanese brand so quality
Note: Some arcade buttons that don't click sometimes use Alps (clone) switches.
I think me personally to make it more arcade authentic I would have gone with concaved buttons
You just pull at it until it comes off in your hand... (copyright Rik Mayall/Ade Edmonson Bottom Live show)
The black small buttons would look cooler on the red side and the red small buttons would look better on the black side
In my opinion it would look better if you put each button in different colour. Just like these Pacman ghosts. Each button have other function so each button should have separate colour but same scheme for 1 and 2nd player.
The peeling of the protective film and the sexy music, you definitely should’ve marked this video as NSFW. Lol.
Trash to Treasure. Simple Upgrade & still better than a 1up Arcade 🤣
ITS STILL: GOT THE FILM!
i thought there was a plastic film on it earlier in the vid.. was going to tell you.. but you found it.. looks so much better.. nice.....
Depending on how much you love it, I would be tempted to "mask out" or make the plastic more opaque except on the PacMan characters, or perhaps replace/move the lights inside to look less tacky. Or even get a switch/colour changer for the lights ya know. Depending on how much that bothers you.
Good video as always :)
How are the buttons and sticks holding up ? Would you recommend them still? I'm about to replace everything and I have no clue what stuff to get ^^
Hey hey fucknnn hey LOL it's ya goofy m8te from Australia 😆 I got a Pandora's game on friends console..with ghouls and ghost,, ghost n gobblims,lots of street fighters and many more ..would love it if u did some segment on it..as there isn't much if any...ya goofy m8te from Australia
Steve, how can I send you stuff?, I have a nice power bank I put 12v into charging port by mistake for you ;-)
ruclips.net/video/Sdb0U8oV8Fc/видео.html Thats my Pandora Box... watching you changing the buttons on yours has convinced me I am putting new bits in mine... I got it second hand like 3 years ago and was contemplating this recently and you have made me decide Im doing it.
Missed a trick at the end of the video there. Should have said, "Wasn't as sexy as as I thought it was going to be... the knobs got in the way" :)
If you ever re-visit this again some aluminuim tape around the led's could improve the glow.
Having to mess around getting the protector on and off your knobs can certainly detract from the sexiness I find.
Bruh I checked your channel and RUclips didn't say u made the video so I had to click it form the community post
Stupid RUclips
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no notification!!!!!!! not NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the idea of having a row of red buttons and a row of black buttons for each player. It would be more visually appealing. My 2 cents.
Did you put the knob shaft-covers back on? They hold the black, plastic disks down.
You still probably ain't satisfied with it Steve.
I think you might put a light diffuser film inside it on the next video of it.
Who am i kidding .
I can't help wondering if half the illumination isn't working.
I agree with comments made about moving the led strip to the side. Its also begging to be turned into a table arcade machine with a cabinet. Just like the picade!
Funny how the shite quality switches and stick were the exact size and shape as the good quality ones.
8:30 *peels back protective plastic* *cues in the sexy music*
the whole time you were putting in the buttons i was like.. those nicks and marks look like they have air around them like a protective film, then validation
Is your camera closer to your face now? The FOV seems a bit weird
Pity they didn't make a better effort with the lights, maybe in time you could add your own!
Honestly I’m more interested if we can load custom software on this thing. The emulation sort of sucks not to mention that forced filter.
Knobs removal, slow film protection removal this is all to hot 🔥 for me.. All in one video ..
Would you put more LEDs inside the box?
That peel olala. Great work Steve looks good,
Thanks Frederick! 😍
The way you look at the camera and say "knob".. Are you asking me out on a date, sir?
I was wondering why the surface was cloudy. These buttons are a huge upgrade.
Pls pls pls pls get more screws for the main board I can't stand rattly boardssss aaaaa
grab an old lcd tv grab the defuser out and lay over lights it will spread the light out
Knobs can be big and small .. make sure to pick the right knob and polish it too
i would leave the protector cuz the hands are dirty lol
U should get an octogate for them it truly brings out the potential of the fighting games
I like your vids. What buttons are the best?.
did u get it from the official store ? it doesnt look like a PB :/
you need to replace in a new Pandora Box 10th v2
I hate when the protective cover gets stuck on a partner's knob.
Awesome Vid......can i have the old ones? 😃
The next move it's to put a raspberry pi inside!
That ending 😂😂😂 You might be able to install Pandory to that box, get 4:3 aspect and make Metal Slug run a ton better 😊
Is this a new channel? Where’s the old one? I wanna watch some videos
Disappointed there wasn't a shaft joke
Another qualityer video stez
I didn't know you had a second channel! :D
Your knob was almost too big there at the end.
That would be solid to build a cabinet around
Welcome to a new episode of "Pimp me Steve"
Of course not. It got stuck on the, *knob*.
I love this red buttons so much ❤❤❤
Now do the cabinet for it, please
That could be in the main channel, Steve
Looks good. Now you should redo the lights
What's with the hum/buzz Steve?
I think you got conned on the joysticks
KNOB
🤣
Will it be …… “SOLID” 😅
Ought to have had a personalised vinyl printed for the top 👍🏻
Change the lights out. I wanna see that.
Where can I buy one of these systems?
Up grade the strip with a longer one
Be careful, you'll go blind playing with the knob too much.
Always firmly grip the shaft when twisting your knob.
Love your content. Quick question where do you get your consumables from such as flux?
Great work Steve. Personally I’d prefer concave buttons of different colors, same for 1p and 2p and I’d turn off the light.
The end killed me, I was hoping you would turn it back on to see if the lights were any better 😢........I'll never know but can probably guess
Red tipped knob action. Nice
I've never seen anyone change micro switches for leaf springs, the reason you don't remember hearing the clicks from them years ago is that arcades were LOUD
Programmable LED’s Steve to go around the edges. Use WLED and an ESP8266
that does look a lot nicer
What you call boring, I consider cathartic at times. 😁 Keep up the great work. Came out looking awesome. Maybe add some leds to the other half ?
it is always a pain when your knob gets in the way of the sexy stuff! really cool video on customisation. love ya stuff thank you. and Happy Easter!
I literally came for the knobs and peels in this video. Nice job, Steve, I'm spent.
