It includes a pause, save and high score function. It also has a search feature, list games by type, recently played or by 3D which are actually newer generation versions of the game be it PSP or PSX, opposed to the 2D old school arcade version. Yes, Clones. DX instead of another number helps 3A cut through the noise and differentiate, but is that enough? Clones have evolved and come a long way, and while the clone war is rampant with a lot of variations, most will play the old classic retro games to a comparable standard of the PB6 or DX - But is that enough?
If you're chasing a more complete gaming experience, then the differences really start to stand out between the more advanced elite clones and the rest of the pack. People often ask is this a genuine Pandora's Box? Many now classify some of these elite clones as a better option compared to the original and current Pandora's box. Lets keep in mind that these are all emulation consoles, so there is a program that is loaded and in turn it runs and interprets the chosen game.
For example MAME is the program used to run arcade classics. The most common versions are MAME. So if that's all you want then an 11s or anything with an A7 chip should tie you over. Remember with emulation - nothing is ever perfect. As you start exploring other emulators that demand more powerful hardware, depending on your console you may start to notice sound clipping, page tearing, freezing, crashing or even game exit.
The majority of Pandora's box consoles don't provide the ability to adjust game settings like frame skip that can reduce this impact and make a game more playable, making pandora's box selection more critical. So back to game count..
Each Console and subsequently each game has different requirements. Anyone who's ever owned an emulation console will tell you that not all games work, and for those that do they don't all work well. Lets skip forward a bit here If you want to increase the probability of desired games playing well on your games console, then you need to seek out the best hardware - and thus lies the challenge.
The moral of this story is more is not better. If anything once you have your console, you will likely want to delete games that you don't like or don't run as well. Using the below you should be able to categorise or come close to understanding where in this hierarchy a Pandora's box arcade console stands. No matter what number a Pandora's box is advertised, as mentioned always look at and confirm the specs.
As a base check, if the listing doesn't state it has game list filtering All, Category, Recent, Search or Save and Load game progress then its either 11s spec or older. Be it local or international, beware of incomplete listings and images showing features not listed. It might also be a good idea to buy from those who know about the products they are selling Do your research as having to return an item can be costly and very time consuming.
This lil beauty has been popping up in mainstream retail outlets ranging from target to Kogan and everything in between. While it has premium controls, given the game count and price we've placed this as our entry level unit. Spec wise looks good with video output of P. This blast from the past makes a serious visual statement and comes in at 74cm x 22cm x 11cm. While the 11s is made by PSA and the Pandora's box 9 by Austar they are both the the same entry level spec.
The 11s however comes in two iterations being a Quad-core Cortex-A7 1. It plays all the classics and has a small amount of 3D titles which are not its strong point. It has no save state, so it can't store your high score, save game progress or load previous position. The console does include search, pause and exit features. The 11s also known as the plus or key 7 treasure comes in a varied game count including , , , , and If you can pick one up dirt cheap its a good start.
Irrespective of name, if your interface looks similar to the below you very likely have an entry level board running a Quad-core A7 Mali MP2. The Pandora 9 made by Austar runs a blue board just like its big brother but without the oomph!
Made in China like the rest of them, Austar has nothing to do with the Australian telco with the same name. This PB9 is basically an 11s with less games. Released The Pandora Alpha Fight released after the 11,12, 9 boards has a unique interface and different looking black board with gold lines. Sadly the spec isn't any better running a ARM cortex A7 quad-core 1.
This is the next step up with a slightly higher spec Quad-core H3 1. You can see in Orange, the 12s graphics processing is double the speed of the older 11s. The 18s and EX boards shown in blue double the graphics ability of the 12s. The 12s Skin and user interface look newer with access to the game store where you can download more titles.
In addition it introduces game list filtering and save state which allows you to store high scores, save game progress and load previously saved games. The 12 boards play the basics well and while capable of playing some of the more demanding games, on some titles like Mario Kart you may notice sound chopping and frame skipping.
While there's still lots of fun to be had, it really depends on each individual's requirements. As seen in the below interface the 12 is also pushed as the 28S Pro. To identify what you are actually buying, please always refer to the pandoras box motherboard. Not to be confused with it's entry level little bro the GB that has a silver heatsink. The key differences between the GB and the 18s are;. While the games are still stored on the micro SD card, with onboard NAND, the operating system is stored on the motherboard itself.
Motherboard identifier: GJ. This unit is smoother and faster with video output of xP that will ensure a maximum arcade experience. While you may in fact be happy with a 11s, 12s or older board - the 18s uses newer generation chipset and just does things smoother and with less effort.
In short enabling you to play more demanding games. As this machine supports larger SD cards like the Saga EX2, in true pandora box tradition, it comes with more games including 8, and 10, While the 18s will play more demanding games like Mortak Kombat, Tekken, Mario Kart 64, and Initial D smoothly and with ease, the last boards were cleared out and sold as the slower 12s and subsequently the 18s was discontinued by early Around February we noticed some new PSA-S single boards doing the rounds even though the manufacturer had discontinued its production.
With its lower price point and chipset, this setup delivers more bang for buck, making it an easy decision for many. Always confirm the board spec. While most use the PIN connector to do the same along with the rear facing power jack.
This is the now older s with the additional connectors and longer board. Same chipset and performance. The black cable with mini board is the WiFi receiver. This test unit solidified our position - we are not fans of the WiFi model as it expires, is unreliable and hard to find what you want. There are better alternatives that will save you time and hair. While it is a newer 2 board setup, performance wise it delivers the same as the existing 18s saga.
The key difference from the older 18s to the new EX2 is the removal of the fan. While we initially thought fan is best, the fan actually poorly disperses heat leading to malfunctions. While easily corrected an iteration was inevitable. The move to passive cooling reduces noise, power usage and clearance issues. This is a slower board.
Pic for reference shown below. More games will give you more diversity and introduces some nice titles, but as expected more games does not mean they will all work well or that you'll like them all. The large game count does it will take longer to navigate and of course some more effort in finding that one title ;-. Thankfully the s machines all have a search and favourites function. The EX2 comes with and without WiFi.
While not big fans of the gamestore, it does provide an easier non technical way to add games to your Pandoras box. As such we stock the WiFi model which enables you to access the store. We have found that the EX2 also comes with games on a 32GB card. Due to the smaller card you'll find that in order to get the impressive big game count :- the included games have to also be a smaller size.
So expect to miss out on the larger file size more complex or detailed PS1 games here. In addition to what you expect on a Pandora's box arcade, the EX2 has a;. Gamepad compatibility on Pandora boxes can be hit an miss, however this newer EX2 version is meant to play nicer with more gamepads. Motherboard identifier: SWJ- Whats your preference? Another reason to not buy based on games. Expect the below board to struggle with many of the included titles.
The Pandora boxes from 3A were the first and are still well suited for old arcade machines using 15hz tube screens. For those chasing the best arcade experience, sadly the stock DX has been losing out with many either avoiding it or upgrading away from it. It includes a save state, so you can save and load game progress along with saving of your high scores.
Keeping with tradition it comes in Arcade with Jamma connection seen below or Family edition which has the 48PIN black plug you usually see on Pandora boxes. While the spec has improved from the previous Pandora's box 6, the DX looks to sit somewhere around the 12s spec wise, which puts it way below the leading pack. For this reason it struggles with faster games and as mentioned sadly many upgrade away from it to the faster 18s, Saga, 9D powered consoles. That said if you are chasing a gamesboard that supports a 15hz screen or are happy with just the old school arcade classics, then the DX with an aftermarket software patch delivers a lot of improvements over the factory release.
Yes almost an exact copy and paste from the DX spec. The board is a new L shaped approach with a few more onboard connections that most wont use and a passive heat sink on the CPU as there's no room for fan cooling. Wicked Gamer mentioned it has better gamepad support as worked with an XBox controller, looks like that's as good as it gets.
Fingers crossed 3A have something better in the works. Many have been waiting for this moment where 3A finally release their response to the clones that have been leading the way for some time now As a complete package it comes across unfinished On paper its sounds good, but where not playing on paper.
While screen tearing that previous versions experienced is gone, the software including emulators, interface and configuration along with screen ratio of the EX needs much work. With 3rd party patches the slower DX still comes in ahead of its newer green sibling.
