I have the 3A Pandora's Box 5 with 960 games and love it. The idea of having a cabinet is nice but I like the fact I can sit with my son on the couch and play a couple rounds. The 1UPs look like it would be cramped for 2 people to play together, not to mention for an adult you have to invest in risers. For those interested you can find the Pandora's Box 5s a little cheaper now. The big difference is the 5 doesn't have the PS1 games and a lot of the 3D games, but it has a lot of the classics from 70, 80, 90s.
Mr S Baldrick yeah your right I searched around for a pandoras box wide enough for 2 adults.. Pretty silly that these companies didn't Consider that adult gamers will be buying these, adults who would need These things to at least be 35-40 inches wide for comfortability.
Astoundingly yes it's much better better controls better gameplay and more games to play bought the street fighter cabinet and it's complete garbage ! Much happier with my $90 Pandora box
Hell yeah it’s better that Arcade 1up and it costs half as much. You can build your own cabinet with $15 worth of particleboard and a $20 monitor from the thrift store.
I have even found some Pandoras Box for $90. I've checked on Ebay and even on this website/app called DH Gate. These Pandoras Box are Chinese made some it's better if you get them directly from wholesalers. But I am definately contemplating getting one. Only thing that is holding me back is that I want to install it in a full size cabinet and I haven't found one yet.
I put the pandora box inside my arcade 1up cabinet I gutted the cabinet and used all the stuff from the pandora box instead just needed a lcd board to hook it up but then it was done. And works great.
I will only buy Arcade1up arcade cabinets, because nobody offered decent cabinets for a decent price, and I will be rewarding Arcade1up for doing that with my business.

@@brasky89 do u have one? I do it was a floor model I got at Walmart it was played and hold up good . I had to to replace a joystick. I was going to upgrade the joysticks and buttons anyway.
I was wondering if some of the sounds are missing from some of the games. For instance on donkey Kong or galaga. The reason I ask is that I bought a pandora box 9s+ and it has that issue. Also at the end of your video you said you can make a cabinet for this box and I did just that for mine. Based it off the arcade 1up cabinet but I added BEER Holders.
chuck kososky Just curious. Like on donkey Kong it’s missing the sound when Mario walks or at the beginning when Kong climbs up and jumps up and down to make the levels all uneven. On galaga it’s missing the ship explosion sound. NBA Jam is unplayable. Really not a big deal. Just was wondering if I made a mistake in buying this copy. The 9 s+ is based of the 6. I’m old school gamer. Love the 80 stuff. All the others like Pacman, centipede, asteroids deluxe ms Pacman play very well. I bought 3 arcade1 ups asteroids/tempest , rampage/joust and Star Wars cabs. since these games are not on the pandora box. So I got everything from my childhood. Bought the 9s+ just save money and space. Got enough room for the golden tee , just waiting for it to go on sale. Thanks for reply.
The 1up is for the nostalgia and decorations, it LOOKS good in a small space. Pandoras for pure button smashing gaming fun. TOTALLY different animals, you cant compare the two!
@@AllThingsCool I can dig what your sayin, but if your in a small apartment or have limited space in your pad, and want that kooky ARTWORK and CABINET LOOK, the one ups are worth the price for me. But ultimatly, to each working American their own brother, so ROCK ON🍻🍕💵😁👍
I'm not familiar with the type of settings the Pandora's Box offers. But it would be nice if the Pandora's Box would allow the user to configure the button layout for each game individually instead of just allowing a global setting. Not all games use the same layout and having to go back into the settings to re-arrange the buttons when you change games is just not convenient and a pain in the rear. If it does give the option to configure the layout for each game individually, then this is a great product and a great investment. I have yet to see a Pandora's Box or Raspberry Pie set up that plays games with CHD files, such as Killer Instinct 1 and 2. That would, in my book, make the Pandora's Box a dream come true.

You can change each individual game button maps to whatever you want....yes it takes a little time, but then next time you play the game it makes it easier.

Hello again Chuck, I've now finally received my 'Official' version of Pandora Box 6 thanks to your informative video. Can I ask. What USB did they include to unzip the files and download on? I received a 16gb and according to my Web designer he thinks the files are more like 50+ gb! Any thoughts? Do you know of a video that shows dumb people to get this damn thing working? I'm struggling here!! Cheers Mick.
16 GB is the same size I got and it's big enough to load all the files. You should have received the links to those files in an email or message depending on where you got your box from if not contact the seller or 3a to get those links to download the files to your usb
Yes it's me again Chuck, I'm sure you don't want to be bothered by my once again but just one more thing. My tech friend says that the files are huge when unzipped and that a 64gb would be far more suited. Is he missing something? I'm totally stumped so I'm no use to him!
When I go-to the AliExpress site you posted. I see a shit ton of Pandora's boxes. Different prices ect... It's as bad as looking at eBay. Wich ones is the 3a?
That is 3A that is their official site. A lot of the prices being different depend on the make and model you get. Its like they change the prices because of the design or if it has 6 buttons or 8 buttons.

Hello, I have a problem, my pandora launches and after the intro video, the screen is black, you have a solution to offer please?
Question: Does it have a proper Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man? Cause my buddy had one of these consoles (not sure if it was same as this) and while HAD Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man, they were all jacked up, and were super fast. Not arcade true at all. Does this one have the proper Pac Mans?
so you idea is that a product that has been out for the last 8 years ( Pandora's Boxes) will be an killer of a product released this year??? Put that pandora's box in your arcade1UP and then you have a nice system!!
I just tried that with my kids sunset riders teenage turtles Simpson’s. So many good multiplayer games but no options for more than 2 players kinda blows
I got a Pandora box 6 and I was having trouble loading the ROMs can you do a video more in depth on how you got the ROMs that they emailed you to load and to the stick?
I had a problem also what fixed my issue was when I went to transfer the roms to the stick I transferred them and they were in there own folder do not do this transfer the roms to the stick do not create a folder with in the usb stick hope this helps
@@AllThingsCool thank you sooo much I will try that tonight and get back to you there is literally no information out there to help me I'll take any bit I can get.
@@BanditMC yea I felt the same way I had to figure it out myself took me a whole day lol I definately got frustrated and then figured it out. Then it was something so simple I just smh
@@AllThingsCool so I'm at work right now and I have to wait till I get home to try it out but just to clarify should I just put the movie file and the ROM file on the thumb drive. OR put all the files Minus the first initial file that contains the ROMs movies and other files on thumb drive. And do you think it's part of the problem that I am not using the thumb drive that came with the system for 3A games gave me the wrong thumb drive it's only 2GB. I have two 64 GB thumb drives 1 Samsung the other scan disk then I went out to the store and bought a scan disk 16GB and formatted all of them to FAT32. BTW So sorry to bother you but you are my only hope.
@@BanditMC as long as its formatted it should work.... click into the folder on your computer that has all the downloads high light those and drag over to thumb drive, dont just drag the folder over to it that's what I did at first and it didnt work
I had a hard time installing the games in to the usb. How did you do yours? It’s five files downloaded but don’t know for sure which ones get transferred to usb.
Transfer all files but click into the folders and open them then highlight them and drag over to usb dont just drag the folder over to usb if the files are in the folder the pb wont read them that was my problem
I would buy it instantly if the cheapest shipping wasn't €183. Plenty of clones around but original is only available on aliexpress with ultra expensive shipping, such a shame.
Got mine off of Amazon there is one seller on there selling the 3a version Wisamic Real Pandora's Box 6... www.amazon.com/dp/B07H96KPPH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Thanks. Found exactly the same one earlier. It would be about €100 cheaper than AliExpress. I'm thinking about ordering it from Amazon (US). Hopefully, the PSU is universal (110-240V). I will probably only have to fit a different mains cable.
You should check out mine basically the Arcade1up uses the same hardware as the Arcade1up machines. I have a Double screen candy cabinet I designed that is now being copied and sold all over online like these China systems you have. Which is very cool and not so cool cause some are using the branded "Galloping Ghost" name on them. Which isn't cool!
Just look up Chinese arcade manufacturers websites. Can find plenty of arcade knock offs. Sadly this is what arcade1up is and you are better off ordering one of those and nosing it.
@@METALFACEDOOMXXXX the others are clones they work but not as well as the 3a pandora box. 3a started shipping them not preloaded for legality reasons from what I read
You can get a hdmi or VGA scanline generator that you attach to the display cable. Cost me £10 on Ebay. You need 2 display cables but works perfectly. I put one in my homemade bartop with a pandoras box dx and is perfect.
If you do it correctly, about 20 minutes to complete the entire process: download, extract, and upload to includes drive key. I suggest WinRAR to extract, because when you download the 6 RAR files, the extraction app will combine all the files into one nice folder. After that, you copy the contents inside that folder to the drive.
Too mono tone to listen to and watch entire video. Pandora 6 is a nice option, but cabinets is definitely the way to go if you want that nostalgia feel. Even though there are consoles out there, the console wars are nearing its end. I say this, the consoles are becoming more and more PC. If you want to argue you semantics, go ahead, but all your paying for really is the brand and the case. With so many videos being put out there on other media platforms like UA-cam, younger and younger generations are seeing that PC is the way to go if you want true game variety. Xbox is owned by Microsoft, so they are already 2/3 of the way there on the market. As for game cabinets... it's still the same for them too. Youre paying for brand and case. Consoles killed the arcades, but in bars and cafe's, you are seeing a slow come back but its mostly the owners who collect them for that nostalgic factor and to share the experience with the public.

That's where I got mine. Mine is running off a PC. I got old and recent games on it. Everyone should go the PC route. Also on PC there's a great emulator called fightcade. Anything in fightcade can be played online with other people. You can't run fightcade off a pi, only PC. Some of you own arcade1up with street fighter 2. But can it be played online. No it can't. You can also download fightcade 2 if you want. This emulator is a bit better because it has all the arcade classics with online play. Also fightcade 2 has 10 game consoles built in the emulator. Atari, Sega genesis, game gear, turbo graphics 16, snes, etc. All with netplay. PC is the best route. I can play street fight 2 all the way to street fighter 5 or marvel vs capcom all the way down to marvel vs capcom 3. I can play mortal kombat 1 all the way down to the new one coming out soon. A gaming computer and a cabinet is all you need. You won't have a desire to buy anything else because everything can be played on that one unit. I play PlayStation 1,2,and 3 on the same PC thanks to emulation. I didn't have to buy a PlayStation classic. I didn't have to buy a Nintendo classic. I didn't have to buy a soulja boy console. It's a all in one arcade. Now you can also download Nintendo switch so I don't have to buy that either. PC is the best Pandora box.
there is no authentic or real Pandora boxes anymore they are all clones of each other just set back and choose which one to buy as they are all clones now
Never liked a joystick, I know this is a bit chunkier but all that flipping off the table and awkward shit from hours of commodore 64 as a kid killed joysticks for me. Unless its a proper cabinet joysticks are the light. Do you reckon one of them usb slots could handle a joypad ?

16 GB is the same size I got and it's big enough to load all the files. You should have received the links to those files in an email or message depending on where you got your box from if not contact the seller or 3a to get those links to download the files to your usb
@@AllThingsCool Thanks again for your very prompt reply. Yes I did get the email from 3A. OK, I'll pass this on to my colleague. 👍
Yes it's me again Chuck, I'm sure you don't want to be bothered by my once again but just one more thing. My tech friend says that the files are huge when unzipped and that a 64gb would be far more suited. Is he missing something? I'm totally stumped so I'm no use to him!
You can fix the cut off in your tv settings. In my tv I had to enable pc mode. Nice video and man cave btw!
Haven't figured it out yet but I will try the PC mode on my tv if I have it. Thanks for the info !!
chuck kososky You’re welcome! 😁
They both good
When I go-to the AliExpress site you posted. I see a shit ton of Pandora's boxes. Different prices ect... It's as bad as looking at eBay. Wich ones is the 3a?
That is 3A that is their official site. A lot of the prices being different depend on the make and model you get. Its like they change the prices because of the design or if it has 6 buttons or 8 buttons.

Hello, I have a problem, my pandora launches and after the intro video, the screen is black, you have a solution to offer please?
Question: Does it have a proper Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man?
Cause my buddy had one of these consoles (not sure if it was same as this) and while HAD Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man, they were all jacked up, and were super fast. Not arcade true at all.
Does this one have the proper Pac Mans?
Yes, it has a proper Pac Man, Ms. Pac-Man and of course, Junior Pac-Man.
Can.
You save game progress on the pandora box six
so you idea is that a product that has been out for the last 8 years ( Pandora's Boxes) will be an killer of a product released this year???
Put that pandora's box in your arcade1UP and then you have a nice system!!
or possibly build a cabinet around the box ??, i like the room the PB has for playing 2 players the 1up is perfect for single player
For that TV the mode do you want for your TV to not cut off that part of the picture is "just scan"
I actually had the zoom feature to 110% put it back to 100 now all is good
Greetz from Germany
Whatsup !
Well the pandora box is illegal.
raptor2569 u right m8
Chuck. The pandora 6 in the link. It doesn’t say pandora box on the front of it. Is this link going to tier me a legit pandora box 6.
it's the same makers of mine in the video
Do you have any amazon or ebay links that you trust I have never used aliexpress
Check the link in the above comment for Amazon that's where I got mine
chuck kososky I can’t find amazon link
If you could link me to it I would be greatfull thanks
Check wisamic on amazon
Any link to where to buy them in the US selling authentic ones?
Checked the pinned comment link
So the 6 dont come with the games installed. I know the 5s did and didnt need the usb in the back to laod the games either
Nope have to install games yourself. There are links provided to down load them
Nicely done
Thanks
Can you plug in a controller to play instead of the joystick
Dont think so
I just tried that with my kids sunset riders teenage turtles Simpson’s. So many good multiplayer games but no options for more than 2 players kinda blows
Hello friend, how can I add one more joystick to this pandora box 6, to play ninja turtles please help me😊😊
Can games like lemmings be saved ? Have to be able to I guess ?
I got a Pandora box 6 and I was having trouble loading the ROMs can you do a video more in depth on how you got the ROMs that they emailed you to load and to the stick?
I had a problem also what fixed my issue was when I went to transfer the roms to the stick I transferred them and they were in there own folder do not do this transfer the roms to the stick do not create a folder with in the usb stick hope this helps
@@AllThingsCool thank you sooo much I will try that tonight and get back to you there is literally no information out there to help me I'll take any bit I can get.
@@BanditMC yea I felt the same way I had to figure it out myself took me a whole day lol I definately got frustrated and then figured it out. Then it was something so simple I just smh
@@AllThingsCool so I'm at work right now and I have to wait till I get home to try it out but just to clarify should I just put the movie file and the ROM file on the thumb drive. OR put all the files Minus the first initial file that contains the ROMs movies and other files on thumb drive. And do you think it's part of the problem that I am not using the thumb drive that came with the system for 3A games gave me the wrong thumb drive it's only 2GB. I have two 64 GB thumb drives 1 Samsung the other scan disk then I went out to the store and bought a scan disk 16GB and formatted all of them to FAT32. BTW So sorry to bother you but you are my only hope.
@@BanditMC as long as its formatted it should work.... click into the folder on your computer that has all the downloads high light those and drag over to thumb drive, dont just drag the folder over to it that's what I did at first and it didnt work
Length and width of pandora box.
I had a hard time installing the games in to the usb. How did you do yours? It’s five files downloaded but don’t know for sure which ones get transferred to usb.
Transfer all files but click into the folders and open them then highlight them and drag over to usb dont just drag the folder over to usb if the files are in the folder the pb wont read them that was my problem
if only you could use this in a real arcade
I would buy it instantly if the cheapest shipping wasn't €183. Plenty of clones around but original is only available on aliexpress with ultra expensive shipping, such a shame.
Got mine off of Amazon there is one seller on there selling the 3a version
Wisamic Real Pandora's Box 6... www.amazon.com/dp/B07H96KPPH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Thanks. Found exactly the same one earlier. It would be about €100 cheaper than AliExpress. I'm thinking about ordering it from Amazon (US). Hopefully, the PSU is universal (110-240V). I will probably only have to fit a different mains cable.
Ordered it on Amazon. It should be here no later than Monday. Thanks again.
@@discoHR glad I could help ur gonna love it
Have you played vs. Super mario bros.? On various pandora's box the emulation is very very choppy. How is it on this?
Haven't will try to check it out
Does it output audio through the TV as well?
Yes through hdmi the tv will produce audio as well as the pandora box
You should check out mine basically the Arcade1up uses the same hardware as the Arcade1up machines. I have a Double screen candy cabinet I designed that is now being copied and sold all over online like these China systems you have. Which is very cool and not so cool cause some are using the branded "Galloping Ghost" name on them. Which isn't cool!
Never heard of this cabinet I was thinking of building a cabinet around my pandora box and maybe taking back my arcade 1 up
Just look up Chinese arcade manufacturers websites. Can find plenty of arcade knock offs. Sadly this is what arcade1up is and you are better off ordering one of those and nosing it.
How do the games play once you're in them?
Check it out here

Where i can download all the games?
Are the games pre installed?
No you have to install them. There are directions how to
@@AllThingsCool other Pandora boxes come pre installed. This the first I seen like this. Rather have them installed already.
@@METALFACEDOOMXXXX the others are clones they work but not as well as the 3a pandora box. 3a started shipping them not preloaded for legality reasons from what I read
How many versions of King of the Fighters are there?
There are 10 king of fighters from kof 94 to 2003
Is it difficult to download the games onto pandoras box
Not at all just extract files and drag them over to usb drive
What file format must the roms be in, which are added to the usb?
Can you do a setting where you can see the scanlines of old crt monitor?
Don't think so
You can get a hdmi or VGA scanline generator that you attach to the display cable. Cost me £10 on Ebay. You need 2 display cables but works perfectly. I put one in my homemade bartop with a pandoras box dx and is perfect.
Just go to OfferUp they selling the arcade1up for like 180
I cant get my Pandora's Box 6 to work. wont load any games. turn it on and the game list doesn't show up at all.
Did you download the games to the usb drive from the link the company provided
Can you use the USB ports for other controllers?
I dont think so
How long is the process of downloading the games?
If you do it correctly, about 20 minutes to complete the entire process: download, extract, and upload to includes drive key. I suggest WinRAR to extract, because when you download the 6 RAR files, the extraction app will combine all the files into one nice folder. After that, you copy the contents inside that folder to the drive.
Too mono tone to listen to and watch entire video. Pandora 6 is a nice option, but cabinets is definitely the way to go if you want that nostalgia feel. Even though there are consoles out there, the console wars are nearing its end. I say this, the consoles are becoming more and more PC. If you want to argue you semantics, go ahead, but all your paying for really is the brand and the case. With so many videos being put out there on other media platforms like UA-cam, younger and younger generations are seeing that PC is the way to go if you want true game variety. Xbox is owned by Microsoft, so they are already 2/3 of the way there on the market. As for game cabinets... it's still the same for them too. Youre paying for brand and case. Consoles killed the arcades, but in bars and cafe's, you are seeing a slow come back but its mostly the owners who collect them for that nostalgic factor and to share the experience with the public.
Man… my portable Pandora's Box 3D, Arcade Video Game Console, 10" Screen JAMMA Board Retro Console Arcade Machine, 2020 in 1 (2177 in 1 with 10 3D games and 2166 2D games) is on its way!!! … it will arrive in 10 days!! I can't wait!! I got it for 160 bucks.. I think its a great price for what it does, I aint complaining, for real.. plus its HDMI compatible, so I can use my portable AverMedia capture card to record LIVE gameplays to my channel :) !! SICK!!! I got it from Amazon - heres the link: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07H27VVL5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Are the games in the Pandora 6 arcade versions or console versions?
Depends on the game but some are arcade and some are console
@@AllThingsCool Great thanks! I'm really hoping there are arcade versions of SF2, MK and Metal Slug games!
@@raymondayeung I was thinking of maybe posting some game footage for people so they can get an idea of what type of experience they can expect if I have time I could try and to record some game play of some games if you like
@@AllThingsCool Awesome thanks man! Subscribed!
posted some game play here ua-cam.com/video/vH98EHz60G0/v-deo.html
Hi, i have a question...can you use it as controller for the ps3 ot ps4??
Any info will be appreciated....thanks
From the research I've done you are suppose to be able to, I have not tried yet though I can maybe try tonight
@@AllThingsCool thanks!!
Im really on the fence with the pandora 6 ....because i really want a arcade fight stick to play my ps3 fight games and ps4 fight games..and if the this works with the ps3 /ps4 it would be awesome....
Please let me know when you try it out !!! Thanks bro
@@vadergamer453 ok i tried hooking up the pandora box to my ps4 and i could not get it to show up as a controller ???? not sure what you need to do to get this to work ?
@@AllThingsCool i know what you need....brooks ps3 to ps4 adaptor....
Thank you so much ..
Very much appreciated for your time and effort.
Just sub to your channel.
Watching from Puerto Rico!!!
@@vadergamer453 thanks for the advice and thanks for the sub !
Am not computer person so can I get one of these pre loaded with games and which web site to buy it from
You can get one preloaded but most likely it wont be the original from 3a it will be a clone
Pandora’s have input lag, raspberry pi or recalbox pc based systems are better
If you want cheap try happy chick .it's free .runs best on fire stick.
Nvr heard of it
@@AllThingsCool free download. Parts are in Chinese it's free and works with lots of controllers.
You keep saying Pandora Box but the real McCoy is Pandora’s Box. Geesh.
Lol... damn it !!!
Check out rec room masters, I have a Pandora’s box and bought the cabinet through them, now a have a fully working cab with a PB5 built into it :)
Sweet any pics or video ?
That's where I got mine. Mine is running off a PC. I got old and recent games on it. Everyone should go the PC route. Also on PC there's a great emulator called fightcade. Anything in fightcade can be played online with other people. You can't run fightcade off a pi, only PC. Some of you own arcade1up with street fighter 2. But can it be played online. No it can't. You can also download fightcade 2 if you want. This emulator is a bit better because it has all the arcade classics with online play. Also fightcade 2 has 10 game consoles built in the emulator. Atari, Sega genesis, game gear, turbo graphics 16, snes, etc. All with netplay. PC is the best route. I can play street fight 2 all the way to street fighter 5 or marvel vs capcom all the way down to marvel vs capcom 3. I can play mortal kombat 1 all the way down to the new one coming out soon. A gaming computer and a cabinet is all you need. You won't have a desire to buy anything else because everything can be played on that one unit. I play PlayStation 1,2,and 3 on the same PC thanks to emulation. I didn't have to buy a PlayStation classic. I didn't have to buy a Nintendo classic. I didn't have to buy a soulja boy console. It's a all in one arcade. Now you can also download Nintendo switch so I don't have to buy that either. PC is the best Pandora box.
What about spot games
there is no authentic or real Pandora boxes anymore they are all clones of each other just set back and choose which one to buy as they are all clones now
Can you use a joypad ?
Dont think so
Never liked a joystick, I know this is a bit chunkier but all that flipping off the table and awkward shit from hours of commodore 64 as a kid killed joysticks for me. Unless its a proper cabinet joysticks are the light. Do you reckon one of them usb slots could handle a joypad ?
I haven't had a proble. With it moving around it's pretty big got a little weight to it a d has rubber feet
Dude one question? can i put my mame roms on this ?
Yes, you can.
arcade 1 up is better when modding with a pi
Does the games comes install?
No bvb you have to download them and install them the pandora box clones have them already installed
The usb that comes with the unit is only 2gb but the files are close to 11gb.. wtf!!
Mine I believe was a 16 gb
