      Try Raspberry Pi to pen that Ext3, weird thet you haven`t tested it already. :D

    another great review, Mark! at 9:00 the game Ken-Go I had that for the Master System but it was called Kenseiden

    The filesystem is ext3, right? I suppose you could access it with a linux system. Have a raspberry pi handy? :)

      I do have a pi but it's inside a GBPi case.

    Ext3 is a Linux file system. You need a Linux Distro (Ubuntu has simplicity going, but I'll recommend Arch-based distros [Manjaro, Chakrra or Artix Linux] instead for performance) to work with a Pandora's Box machine, as they're just Linux computers in a cabinet/case.

      Good morning. I need your help. I have a Pandora 9d box. I backed up the SD and saved it to Google Drive. 2 years later, the original SD failed, but I can't make the backup files bootable and the system won't boot. I have 3 boot files and folders with roms and everything else I had. Could you help me? Thanks a lot. Greetings from Uruguay

    Thanks for uploading these videos for Pandora Boxes... I'm a total noob to these devices and it really helps that give information... Hoping to buy a good one just not yet decided which one as I don't wish to fiddle around with a device.. I'm more of a plug and play(for the pandoras) and a little bit of altering settings(very basic) so yeah your vids help us decide what to get👍👍👍 btw great selection of arcade games to showcase, did not know some of them

    Were your USB ports on the PC 2.0? (the piece inside the USB slot will be blue not white), had this exact same issue myself and 2.0 did the trick. Also the port for connecting to the PC was the botton USB for me, which is the opposite to the ones I've seen on RUclips. ^^

    Lol well so much for adding V-Sync. Hopefully one day they will start implementing V-Sync into these machines to cut down on the screen tearing. Probably not anytime soon tho as the Chinese just don't seem to care.

    4:12 As you found out, Windows can't even read an ext3 volume, so how could Windows write a file to one? All these emulation boxes run on some kind of free Linux-based OS and their included media are formatted for it. If you're wondering why they didn't just use the universally compatible FAT32 file system so you can manipulate it on your Windows system, it's because the volume with the games on it is 6.6GB and the largest FAT32 volume possible is 4GB.

      Yes, or you can solder more on but make sure to tap in to the power source. I'm not sure where that is though but I'm sure there must be guides in the net for adding more LEDs. It is very possible though.

    Ext3 is Linux partition. If you want to modify anything in this SD you need to stick it on a Linux machine, you can use a live distribution from an USB thumb drive, like Ubuntu

    Hi Mark, how are you? Kinda random, but still emulation-related: are you aware of any PC/Windows emulator (or MAME version, or Retroarch specific core...) which is able to run Night Slashers correctly, without those infamous transparency glitches? Thanks in advance! ^_-

    Have you thought about making a copy of the card into another microSD card, and then trying to do some tweaking ?
    The original one may be protected, but after copying it you may probably surpass this, and add your own stuff into it. You will still have original card in case something goes wrong.
    Connecting into PC probably needs the debug mode to be activated, and to my knowledge, almost always you can do it by pressing and holding a specific button or button combination during the boot. Not sure which one in that case, but with many Android based devices from past few years this was a way to go.
    I'm sure that past this point is quite an easy task to customize this further, as you'd probably gain access to config files, splashscreen, menu music, games and so on. Mind you that changing the resolution and other stuff may lead to some games being laggy, as they probably tried to keep it as optimized as possible.

    • @RetroCore

      You probably have to flash it with etcher or rufus, so you have a bootable card, copying the files alone May not be enough

    I picked up a pandoras box 12 as an upgrade from a 6s. It had double the games listed but unfortunately the names are all wrong and ide say half the 3000 were duplicates. Not great. Some extra games were there but some previous games were missing. Disappointed really. My 6s game names were all accurate and single listed. But the 12 did have extra games not on the 6s and ran 3d games better. You live and learn. It's a hit and miss thing with these machines. No idea why they wont allow you to add other games though.
