Arcade Jamma Board Pandora's Box X with 2600 Games (10 3D Games) Arcade Machine Accessory DIY Kit Part Jamma PCB Classic Vintage Video Game Board, LCD and CRT/VGA and CGA Part

Board works exactly as it is described. I was a little hesitant if it would work with the CRT monitor in my arcade cabinet but it did. There are a lot of repeat games that are slightly different versions (ex. Metal Slug with infinite ammo or bootleg versions of fighting games with slightly different game mechanics). Some games pretty much don’t run at all like Mortal Kombat as it lags too much and that was disappointing. But for the price and convenience I can’t complain too much since it’ll have most games I want to play and run them well. I couldn’t find an option to turn off the sound when scrolling through the game list as it gets a little annoying after awhile but that’s just me. The other annoying thing is if you have a cabinet with only 2 buttons or less wired, you’re going to have to wire the “D” button to return/save your settings if you plan to turn on free play or other settings in the test menu. I highly recommend this board if you have an arcade with a CRT monitor and are looking to try out other games in it.

The Pandora Saga DX is a must have. I upgraded from the 2600. The quality and the additional games are amazing. The shipping was fast and the customer service is excellent!! I recommend this to any gamer who likes the arcade games!

Make sure to set your power input to 5v and to remove the -5v. Only really uses buttons 1-4. Had some booting problems that were solved by the power input. Plug and Play on your 19:1 Horizontal. Some of the games are vertical and smaller as a result but still play fine. Well worth the money lots of 2 player simultaneous games.

So far Galaga and Donkey Kong missing some sounds thats as far as i’ve checked. Also seems to not have a game search but games seem to be alphabetical.

Bought few of these boards and the game count is misleading. Some games are near perfect but none are as good as original. Aot of doubles and the preview of games is horrible compared to other versions. Only 720p supported so can't use in olderCRT cabinets. Just use it for Tapper and upscale on neogeo looks nice. Sounds aren't perfect but the cost is worth it.Rather use a Raspberry pi

**Updated review** - At first it seemed pretty awesome but over time I started to get bummed out. A lot of the games like Mortal Kombat, Gyruss, Nemesis, or even Donkey Kong are missing sound or have horrible frame drops. I cannot even play Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter 2 Turbo on it because there is such a frame rate drop that the game lags and suffers from lag of input. I thought the novelty of using the coin option to make an interactive 200 pound piggy bank would be cool but wore off fast when I would want to play another round of a game and I would have to put the coin in, then hold the start button to exit just to hit continue and then hit start again which got annoying fast. So now I leave it on free play mode so I can just hit start to coin up. But the down side is it starts with a credit so I cannot even let some of the games do the attract mode part. It does not save high scores which is a bummer but that is just minor. I am shocked with how there is 20 different versions of the same street fighter game. Oh and they have Street fighter Alpha 1,2, & 3 and then Street Fighter Zero 1,2, & 3 which are the same games just one is Japan and UK, and the other is USA and Canada versions. Street Fighter III - 3rd Strike is Japan only which I guess is not a big deal but once again the lag and poor image quality. I am slowly getting annoyed with how the board will light up but not power on the monitor. It is not the VGA cables I am using because I switched those out with ones from my second PC and know they are fine. It is a 50/50 chance for the board to now power on and I never over powered it with more than 5v from my power supply and my Jamma. The sound quality per game is never set to the same volume. Like if I play Megaman the Power Battle and then Switch to Metal Slug the volume difference is crazy that my neighbors in my apartment building complain and I have to constantly open my cabinet and change the volume. You cannot add more games or add the correct rom file to this board for proper sound and frame rate and if you are using a wide screen monitor it will distort some of the games to look horrible. I am running a 19" 4:3 ratio monitor and it is correct for the most part along with a scan line generator to give it some what of the TV feel with a LCD monitor but they have this image optimization that you actually cannot turn off. Now, I do enjoy playing some of the games when it works correctly. But for the most part where I am now, I am looking for a replacement board.

Overall satisfied with this , only issue I see is the vertical games have a smaller display and some duplicate games . Button response on games is good . I would purchase again .
