I have an original SF2 cabinet with a DX inside. And this is EXACTLY what happens!! :)

I do the same thing on netflix

I bought a DX last month so I assume I have the newer one. No menu screen is still loud and volume is hit or miss depending on the game but with NBA jam super low. My screen is also shifted to the right for some reason. Not enough to be unplayable but enough to be annoying. Worked fine with the 6 so not sure if you had the same issue. Also tried to connect a USB trackball where it says "trackball" as well as the other usb port. Could never get the DX to recognize it. What do you like about the 3D more? The only real upgrade with the DX over the 6 is save states, and to me with very limited time to play, is a nice upgrade.

@@mak23997 So basically with the Pandora Games 3D it just performs miles better. No screen tearing, the volume levels are normal as you'd expect, the sounds that are messed up in some DX games are in tact on the 3D, etc. Though I never use save states so I can't remember if the 3D does that or not. Matter of fact I'm going to check and let you know in a second reply.

@@mak23997 Okay, yes the 3D has save states as well. Also the scan lines look much better than the DX if you're into that sort of thing.

@@infernaltim Thanks I am as I have a scan line generator for the VGA monitor that works way better than the DX does. Thanks for the info!

@@mak23997 Sure thing!

Hope you enjoyed it!

@@RetroRalph I know that you are with real cabinets but I’m in with several Multicades. Always love when someone talks about them.

NONE Pandora work in of my cabinet . I have 4

Very cool, what's your company? Maybe I can mention it on the show. I'm going to get back to covering some emulation products in 2023. So I plan to weave that in from time to time. Thanks so much for watching!

I have a DX in an original SF2 cabinet I bought that came with a Pandora 9. I threw that out and put a 6 which was the best one till the DX. I've noticed since I got the DX the screen is shifted to the right far enough that certain icons and graphics you can't see. My cab came with a 720 LCD. Was curious if you've had the same issue.

@@mak23997 I don't remember whether I ran into this after hooking it up or not. I may have made some adjustments in the screen's OSD but that was a while back. My monitor is an older 26" Samsung computer monitor and I run the DX at 1024x768. Is yours running off VGA out? Could be the slight resolution difference if your monitor is 1280x720.

Change music? Really

@@wizardwaffle75 yes you have full access to file system. You can change backgrounds, menu music etc. Add more games , take games off. Love mine.

@@theiceman1972 how do I do it I have a street fighter 2 cabinet but I wanna add more games

@@wizardwaffle75 do you have a Pandora’s box?

@@theiceman1972 yh

Thanks so much for watching man, much appreciated!

Obviously, it isn't convenient for most people because not everyone has an extra $3,000+ to spare on an arcade machine that plays one game, so most people build their own arcade cabinet and use a raspberry pi for the emulation. But emulation will never be the same as authentic hardware and playing the game how it was originally designed. The Pandora's box isn't going to appeal to most people if they already have a multicade like the at games legends ultimate and any of the diy projects or they just emulate everything on PC. But for the guy that had the money and space for a big and bulky arcade cabinet and wants to add more games without damaging the original design of the cabinet, it's pretty cool. It's not for everyone, but when I do get my hands on an original Big Blue cabinet from Capcom, I need a solution like this.

It is super cool! 4 years ago I picked up a big blue that hand been converted to Tekken 2. Put all SFII art and this same DX box and I will say it gets a lot of play in my arcade, one of the most played games and most times the search function is going to find the classis your friend looks for! It's way cool. Great for a project cab! Mine was $600!

I put an older version of PB into an original arcade cab I rebuilt. I bought a brand new jamma harness and plugged it right in. It was simple.

Damn. What were the other 2?

CRT for life baby! Or as long as I can keep them running. ;-)

@@RetroRalph it's good to know someone that owns a rejuv machine. That will help keep your CRTs going.

Yeah it does. When I went into that jungle before I couldn't figure out which was the latest version. 🤔

and correct fps, pandora plays slightly choppy

Yes true too and games like all Street Fighter 2 plays fine and that was the reason why I bought it so i'm happy with it.

No

My monitor just needs to be adjusted a bit 👍🏻

It’s a nice option for some but I personally think FPGA is the future for arcade gaming. I will try to keep my original boards running as long as possible but as FPGA evolves, I think it will become key in keeping older games running and running accurately. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, love you guys 🙏🏼

nice ! did you notice some issue with the scrolling stuff on pandora DX ? i made this video to show the issue with the pandora "C"X, please tell me if the DX have the same issue . kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r6uGrdpmptTHiqs.html

Hey do you know if this work for a mortal kombat arcade 1up? I saw u mentioned doin it to urs?or does it work just on street fighter cabinet?

I haven’t looked into doing a 4-player setup in a while. I did in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdmFhMl_zq2-emg.html I’m pretty sure most of these boards let you simultaneously use the HDMI out and the VGA out at the same time so you could do that. I would imagine a splitter would also work 👍🏻. I hope this helps.

@@RetroRalph Thanks for the response. If I give it a try in the future I’ll let you know how it goes. Keep up the great content!

Did you set the video output to 15Khz? You need to hold the reset button and power cycle it till the LED is orange I believe.

Yes, this particular adapter uses a CPS1 kick harness. This will allow you to wire up the other buttons so you can play 6 button games. If it's already wired then it's plug and play with the CPS1 kick harness, it's pretty cool.

You know I've only done that on the Game Elf, I'm not sure if this does that. I think it does, but I would have to test it.

You do need a jamma to chamma adapter with the CPS1 kick harness adapter on it. If you plan to use it in a standard CPS1 wired cabinet.

@@RetroRalph I’ve ordered one now , might take a while as I’m in the Uk. Thanks again and keep up the good work

I did a video on a 4 player Pandoras box a while back but it had some quirks. I think they came out with a new one that solves some of the problems. I'm spacing on what version it was though. Thank you so much for supporting the channel. I hope you enjoy some of the other content on it as well.

@@RetroRalph thanks for the reply! I will be looking forward to your videos!

If you google Pandora's Box DX game list you should find it.
