Pandora's Box Review?

[Lamaman1971]

Has anyone seen a decent review of these Pandora's box Jamma things doing the rounds?? I like the case and so on but not sold on the stock controls or that Jamma Board...but, if Im honest, haven seen one myself to make an informed opinion. Anyone?

I have a 4S+ and over all I am happy with it.  I would say it is nice if you already have a jamma cabinet.  If you do not I would go with something else.

 

Most games work fine, the menu sucks to navigate, Metal Slug with 2 players suffers majorly from slowdown.  You know, standard stuff for an onchip emulator.  Honestly I would reccomend spending a little more and using a jpac/raspberry pi running retropie.  Much truer emulation and you can choose what you want on the machine.

That's great feedback - "all fur coat and no knickers" then. I've already built a small(ish) panel using some parts from ETSY and a PI3 and a bunch of Sanwa controls - so I guess Ill stick to finishing that project for now. It's not as fancy but its more than capable of doing the job. Plus it has a trackball, which is nice.

Cheers
