I'm trying to connect my Pandora's box to use as a controller and the game co troller detects the sticks but nothing else does.. (fortnite, windows etc)
Nice review! Can you change some of the graphical options? Upscaling, filters, etc? I hate the “stretched look” and would rather have the black boxes on the side…
Mine show as PS3 Controllers, not as Dual Arcade, and the configuration seems to be wrong (some buttons are perpetually pressed by default) And neither Steam or Retroarch would let me remap the buttons, even tho it says it's recognizing it, it doesn't actually read the button presses. But Windows does, is very weird, maybe a driver issue?
kenVersus Actually it works with a few different types of controllers including the pro controller and I believe the DS4. Ds3 might be an issue though I guess.
I have a problem, my PB9D doesn't connect to my pc, I connect it to the pc but it doesn t happen anything is not installed and it doesn't look like I do anything
I should get detected in windows. If not try a different computer a different cable. maybe the usb on your PB isn't working. There a ton of different PB and not all are created equal.
I realize that I'm replying to a 3 month old thread but I had the exact same issue as you did. Plugging in the usb alone does not pick up at all. So here is how it is currently working for me: -USB connected to PC -Power cable connected and turn on** **You may want to go into settings of Pandora 9 and turn off the on-board sound. This usually does the trick, but I experienced some random disconnections still, if you also get random disconnect on PC, what worked for me was to plug in the HDMI cable into the TV (my smart TV doubles as both the PC display and Pandora 9 display since I have two HDMI ports on TV). After doing that I don't get any random disconnections while using it as a controller on my PC. It sounds ridiculous since there's probably a game playing randomly in the background you can't see while my PC display is on, but this is the only way I got it to work as a controller.
@@rafeeqalexander Good info. I just got one that needs to be powered on too. I'm not sure about random disconnections yet though, as I just got it. I'm a little pissed that it needs to be running.
@@rafeeqalexander Thanks tried your way and it worked but it is not needed you need 2 usb cables one for power and one for the pc to detect the controller.
Was wondering if u knew a solution .. I’m running LaunchBox on my arcade machine obv through a PC .. have a Pandora’s box hooked to pc and everything was working great .. turned on my arcade today and now the controls won’t work .. pc is picking up that the controls are connected but no buttons work .. just weird because everything was working fine ... any thoughts on a possible fix?
I actually figured it out with a stupid solution I didn’t even think about .. had turned on the Pandora’s box before turning on the PC and for some reason that was messing it up .. thanks for the response though .. very informative vids
Kidz Nation, can you help me out? My pandora box 5 will only work on the pc when my power cord and my pandora box is on. Do you use your pandora box only with the usb?
@@MrOrcen I never found a solution, but mine also doesn't seem to be able to store scores in memory. So having it run in the background while playing on a PC shouldn't hurt anything.
@@iheartdonut Same here, I have to power mine on, It's a Pandora's Box 11 Plus (Moonlight Treasure Box) with 3003 Games. Any problems with using it as a PC controller this way? Has it messed anything up on the Pandora's Box? I wonder if it's some sort of clone.
Are you simply using the box as an external controller for games already present in the emulator? Or is it possible to "stream" games from the box via the USB cable to display on the laptop/pc's display? Here, Windows sees the controller connected (shows up as 2x RX Controllers on laptop), but Emulation Station doesn't detect anything and says config file is invalid or needs configuring manually)
Get the 6S model, I just picked up one on eBay for $100 free shipping. There are tons of them on there, Amazon has a few too but they are a little more expensive. Make sure to contact the seller first to confirm what model they have. There are too many clones of these arcade sticks/consoles floating around. I was super lucky to get a nice one.
I just got a Pandora's Box 11 Plus and it only connects to my PC if I plug it in and turn on the power. Which is obviously a pain because if i use it as a controller, it's also running games on pandora's box while I'm trying to use it as a PC controller. I think I'm going to return it.
@@cesarperez1897 no, but up be fair, I didn't spend any time trying to figure it out yet. I still would like to know how to do this though. If you find something, I'd love to know your findings.
+zombee38 it's definitely a nice feature since it's metal and and very sturdy. And with upgrades it's just as good as any arcade fighting stick on the market. I've seen some arcade sticks costing $200 alone with no Pandora's box.
SOLUCIÓN ,solo conecten su Pandora box por cable usb al PC y enciendan el equipo con su cargador, es la unica forma debido a que necesita alimentación de energía,controla todo los juegos arcade ,mortal kombat y street fighter recientes. Funciona en la mayoria de juegos de pelea.
Debes conectar el tablero arcade a tu PC W7 o W10 mediante Cable Usb y actualiza los drives en forma manual o automática. Debería aparecerte el Controlador de juego de los Player 1 y 2.

Could be an epic 4-player setup with 2 of these and a PC
Nice review! Can you change some of the graphical options? Upscaling, filters, etc? I hate the “stretched look” and would rather have the black boxes on the side…
If u van,could u do a review and see if it works as a ps4 fightstick??
Hi Ken, I have tried to install the emulator Station. Its prompt me need to configure. Do you have a tutorial on that?
Mine show as PS3 Controllers, not as Dual Arcade, and the configuration seems to be wrong (some buttons are perpetually pressed by default) And neither Steam or Retroarch would let me remap the buttons, even tho it says it's recognizing it, it doesn't actually read the button presses.

Great content, i have a pandora 9s and i wondered if it was possible. thank you!
can you use it to Play modern pc games like tekken 7 or 8
to me dont appears the game controller there in the game usb i dont know why you apeears that explain that please
You have to download some drivers ami does not detect the USB
Sabes cuáles son los drivers? Me pasa lo mismo
I tied it to connect with pc but the usb didn't recognize it came code 43.
did you ever resolve this? I have the same issue
i cant get it to work it only works if power is plugin but there is a game running in the background
Does it work on 360 or Ps3?
Yes on ps3 it works nice
Any idea if it works with Tekken 7 on pc?
I’m trying to figure that out rn too
May Pandora's box cant display the in the screen of my laptop how to Do it?
Did u connect it on pc?
This isn't working on steam for me. Can't even map the buttons. ☹️
Steam I think needs an Xbox 360 compatible controller. This won't work with steam. It works with other emulators though.
kenVersus Actually it works with a few different types of controllers including the pro controller and I believe the DS4. Ds3 might be an issue though I guess.
Ok that's good to know. I don't game on steam much.
mine only detecs 1 controller even if i have dual player pad and it doenswork on my pc
Would it work on a Nintendo switch?
Do you get I viruse connecting your Pandora box in PC I'm kind of scared of pluging in
No I know a friend that uses this and he has no virus
do u need emulation station? or i can directly start n64 emulator from pc and start playing with the arcade stick?
I'm going to try this with my 18s Pro, I have the similar games on Batocera.
I have a problem, my PB9D doesn't connect to my pc, I connect it to the pc but it doesn t happen anything is not installed and it doesn't look like I do anything

Can i use it as a normal double stick arcade with only usb in my IMAC? My fear is that plug and play don’t works with iMac... incompatible?
Hi it should work with a Mac as well.
I have a problem
I connect USB cable in my laptop and nothing ...my control (Pandora box) Is no detected
Try a different computer. Try windows 7 or windows 10. See if it works
@@KenVersus it same i have Windows 10 AND 7
I have a Pandora box 9D
@@elexizvenegas756 I have the same problem. Using a 9D with Windows 10 as well
Can u play the games it comes with? Like using the pc as a monitor?
Yes, if your monitor is HDMI
Does it work for ps4 & ps4 pro
Probably not.
I tried this on my laptop but it's not reading my Pandora's controller, can you help me please? :(

Que hiciste para que te la reconozca
x3
brother I need
that people make more videos because they don't explain the problems that happen to us
Hi, would the controller work on a front end like launchbox/bigbox on my pc?
I can't see why not. It just shows up as a game controller.
So you can't put usb stick into usb port?
The usb is not for loading games.
Question, do you have to turn it on?
No you don't have to power it on. Just a USB cable is enough
On my PB 11 Plus I have to turn it on. so the box is running while trying to use it as a controller on my PC. Clearly and issue there.
@@janX9 i had to connect my pb 11 with usb and power cord to work
@@bulatok1 yeah it's a real pain. And a waste of power.
Didnt work for my with either 6 or 9d installed :(
Not all pandora boxes are created equal. Lots of clones out now.
Mine seems to be a clone, but works on PC and ps3 when I also power the unit on. Lame, but it works.
@@iheartdonut did you find a solution for this? I'm on the same page. Mine only works if I power on the arcade.

it would be great

Hi, is this sold out still?
Might be. It's been a few months since I posted this video. There should be other models on the same site I linked to in the description.

will this be applicable to all pandora arcade boxes available? I am looking at a pandora 6S arcade box at ebay? thank for nice video
Hi, I would say yes. Most of them will behave this way. Usually there is 2 USB ports, and one of them will be active. Just test each one of them out.

@@janX9 hey did you figure out how to use it as a controller without the pandora running games on it own?
@@cesarperez1897 no, but up be fair, I didn't spend any time trying to figure it out yet.

@@janX9 I went into settings and put it in testing buttons mode, that way it's just stuck in that screen and doesn't affect the Pandora itself
