I'm feeling a strong urge to play Earthbound.
@Panzer86 i just bought one on ebay and with tax it came to $282.74
Item link is dead fyi
Salute to developers of these games they develop not games they made gems. Even in 2021 it looks so cool👍.
This is the size Sega should make the Astro mini.
And Neo Geo mini
You should see the sega game gear mini. Sega would be better off making a brand new system or reselling old catalogs.
Agree
U said that on a another video
I built an arcade machine a while back, coins really give a nostalgic feel. A lot of games have their credit-entry sound designed to work with the sound of the coin dropping in the box.
Can I add a coin device to a retro game box/device
@@mizanulhoque9657 I had mine wired up to a PC running an arcade emulator, inserting a coin acted like pressing a button. It's not something you could do "out of the box", it's not USB or anything, but it's not a hard project
@@mizanulhoque9657 yes you can.... my brother did it. But he's a tech genius so not sure how he did it
I think your monitor problem is an easy fix. the give away is when you said it gets worse with graphically intense games or loud sfx. the machine has a voltage problem and drawing more than supplying. can be fixed by isolating the power lines and adding some caps to smooth out the power draw. admittedly, shouldn’t have to do this to a new product, so bad quality as you said.
Good call. I agree
Or not enough amps.
Just received mine today haggled down to $285 shipped and said no brainer. When I started it up i had these lines like you and as I went into playing most of the games the lines disappeared in game and are more or less on the home search screen the majority of the time . It’s confusing as why this is happening. My uncles a video tech and said most definitely it’s the power supply that came with it. It’s cheaply made. We are in the process of swapping out the power supply to see if it makes a Difference because he took it apart I mean the whole unit and found nothing loose or disconnected .. I’ll post the results ASAP .. great review I’ll enjoy this with my young son that was my purpose of the purchase 👌
did it work? @@mr.joeyrigs9857
I have the same cab (non WiFi though) and with a switch socket as a plug in. The speakers are in front under the joysticks. Sound is very weak and has No bass. So I mounted a $40 20” vizio sound bar top which I got on offer up and man the sound make a big difference. It was the perfect size no lie. It’s not loudest sound bar but it’s the best option for this cab.
The way I mounted it was cutting a wood about 12” cut it at an angle so the sound bar sits right on top. Mounting it, I drilled 2 holes, got 2 bolts, nuts and a washer on the top backside of the cab. I also added a power strip inside so I did have to drill another hole to throw the wire in for the sound bar. I’m now happy with this cheap cab I got for $90 + $40 sound bar, I might change it to raspberry pi 4 later. Another thing I like about this cab is it’s light weight compared to the wood ones... way lighter
How did you get RPI4 to power on with the power button? I never got the gpio to never work with a power script.
I think the coin acceptor is a cute little novelty.
Like a piggy bank.
I buy same one last year with Pandora 6 and work everything well, even coin machine work great you need just set up,they have sub menu you can figure out from there,and I change the buttons with better quality,all depends how much cost on you country at good original arcade machine, because if the difference is for little money this bartop not worth better getting original stuff and better quality.🃏
How does the coin work for console games on it. Is it the timer setting. So goes for 8 minutes then what does it exit the game or just pause it so you can put more money in.
I got one of these in December. Mine doesn’t have the rear external ports and has a different box inside though. My coin accepter works great. My son plays it almost everyday. While it is far from perfect, it is pretty fun. I own a few full size arcades and a full size mame machine my brother and I built. This gets the most play by far. This is mostly because it is smaller and easier to place in a more accessible area. The weight is great, not to heavy but not so lite that it moves all over the place when playing. And so far it appears fairly durable. For the price it is a steal.
Mine does. It is labeled “Cartoon heros vs Capcom 2 (American version)”. It is the Dreamcast version I believe. Just be aware that it does have some of the graphical glitches known in older emulation for this game.
Used to be lead bartender of a bar i loved. I totally woulda bought this for it and still would in the future for one lol
Would be awesome
This is the best 4:3 arcade cabinet in Aliexpress that nobody buys. The Raspberry pi4 version came unproperly setup but after some adjustment using my own image, it became my favorite bartop arcade cabinet.
Link?
I have the same machine for 1.5 year but with PB6 in it and its awesome! I have modded it with real sanwa buttons and sanwa sticks. Love it
If I owned a bar, I'd be all over this.
The video distorting from seemingly non-related adjustments like sound seems possibly point to shielding issues with the wiring. And people are always missing the donkey kong samples - ctfo!
I have the 2500 games version, same box, decor like yours. No USB slots on back except power outlet and on/off button. Sound speakers toward you below. Games run fine with 2D games. Sound not distorted. Game might go back to main menu if it’s too intense (happened only once). I’m okay with 19” as Arcade1up is 17”. It takes Chinese yuan and can set it as free to play. Joysticks and buttons are very responsive. I’m more used to round joystick as I lived in Taiwan throughout my childhood. No regrets on buying this as Arcade1Up simply taking too much space.
Oh, I got mine fast too. They store them in Los Angeles warehouse.
@@ClearanceCollector i have the same one for a couple years now it went out on me already. when I turn it on a red blue yellow green screen comes on can you help any suggestions? When I opened it up there’s no SD card.
I play some arcade games oj my Switch with a Hori arcade stick. This looks like a device for someome that doesn't mind a screen with issues. In order to play a larger selection of arcade games i might get a Rasberry pi packed with arcade games and console games.
I have bought the same machine and also the same issue with the Display. I changed the connection. I noticed the issue is with the VGA Signal from the Pandora Board. As you have ssen the VGA Port was "bent" into the system. I have only bought an HDMI VGA Adapter and use the HDMI Output from the Pandora Board, and I also use a HDMI Switch so that my rPi 4 can also been used ;).
Sounds like they shipped this with a bare min AC power supply. You may try replacing it with one with a slightly higher Amperage.
soulja boy approved product confirmed
Hi mini pickle I agree with your assessment of this arcade machine
Looks like magnetic interference coming from the speaker. Put some shielding around it.
@MLP Id like to see some inside pics of the wiring and where everything goes. Reason being is its drawing interference from somewhere. Seems like ground could be looked at in the harness or even test the power lines with ferrite chokes if it doesnt have any in the wiring loop. Also maybe even check the power brick it came with. If you happen to have a spare from another pandora unit you might try that as well. They are kinda junk so maybe try a simple thing like that as well.
I should get a coin slot... side hustle.
Nice.... Charge your little brother to play this..
Did you try grounding the monitor? does the plug have a ground?
if pressing buttons effects the screen it def sounds like a ground issue. or possible a low voltage issue.
The power supply that came with this monitor is very cheap and flimsy. We just got ours and similar experience but now the slight lines are only during Home Screen game browsing 🤷♂️ gonna swap out the supplied power supply for a Better version with the same specs. Otherwise I’m loving it and so are the kids
Power? Why dont u buy power adapter with different volts
To get rid of the screen distortions you have to use a seperate power source. I will create a video showing the mod. But the issues stems from the shared power source for both the pandoras box and lcd monitor.
I think you video issues could be a loose ground cable.
That thing is just Too Sweet 🤘
Does anybody have a bar top machine recommendation? I just told my cabinet and would prefer something small like this for the kids and I to play with that won’t fall apart.
Hey Ron. Sounds light electrical magnetic interference with the screen especially if the speaker effects it. Clearly not all electrically insulated correctly. Try one of them able I dilators on the screen cables and go from there
The what ? " them able I dilators " can you explain please ?
I was waiting on a review for this! Thanks man. Really helped me out. Was thinking about getting it. Not so sure now.
Love all the videos keep up the good job and was wondering if you've had any information on the Sega dreamcast 2 I saw a TH-cam video For it and that's all i could find. Thanks
What If we don't want a coin thing? How can we do that ??
What’s hilarious is that the iircade is the same identical width (20”) and they claim that it’s comfortable for 2 adults. I call BS on that iircade claim.
How to setting with coin acceptor?
I have the Pandora’s Box 20S, it has the NES games (including Super Mario Bros.). I recall that there’s a joystick controller for the NES: it’s called the NES Advantage. I hope the name PlayChoice-10 rings a bell, because that NES arcade machine can plug up to 10 NES cartridges. Hopefully you throw a party with this arcade system, because I brought my Pandora’s Box 20S to my godsister’s birthday party on June 2022; the kids (as young as elementary school) enjoy playing Super Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
Put a 400gb SD card in it
Do you remember what this device is called?? The ebay link you provided doesnt work anymore
Take out the coin-op box and replace it with a wifi tap n' pay device since the machine already has wifi built in. That would be my upgrade idea for it to be used in modern day hospitality venues.
Have you tried replacing the speaker with a shielded speaker?
Is there a way to put together an arcade bartop with coin acceptor but without pandora box. Pandora box's menu is unorganized and messy. I like to use Batocera. Does Batocera have anything in the option that enables "coin acceptor"?
You would need a commercial license from each of those game developers to use it commercially
definitely cool to make a long story short I was supposed to buy one of these myself and actually I was robbed by someone at Amazon I don't know if you ever did find out who it was but I had it it was on its way to me and all of a sudden it wasn't in the truck and it mysteriously disappeared unfortunately I never did get it all I got was a refund and an apology.
what thats arcade mean need to coin to operate old day, maybe you not old to play the older arcade that only accept coin to game.
I learnt my lesson ordered one of these for $120aud came today from scomparison its a joke what they've sent its a cheap arse kmart $20 toy if you even would pay that lol do not buy from Facebook sellers they are scammers
Does anyone know a link to a website that sells this exact model? I’d like to have a bartop that accepts coins. I’m a 5th grade teacher and think it would be cool to have it set up in the class room and reward the kids with tokens to play it when they behave well.
garbage then, basically. But for 300 what do you expect.
wow that's neat !
306 to like
Link doesn't work anymore. are they out of business or anyone got a link to their store maybe?
The problem with the monitor could be from lack of proper shielding!
Street Fighter 2 Rainbow! 🌈
Hi, eBay link is not working , is still available or is another new version? Thanks
Did he just say that you can't play Mario Bros. with a joystick? The original arcade machine had a joystick :I when were you born?
SUPER MARIO BROS.... It was originally released on the NES.. I didn't even show the game Mario Bros. in this video... when were you born?
@@Madlittlepixel 71
@@RobotsPatriots well maybe is the time to get the hearing and visuals checked, because your comment was not relevant to anything that was in the video.
@@Madlittlepixel "Vs. Super Mario Bros" was in the arcade in the mid 80's. For the nes it was called Super Mario Bros.
Did you try to update the firmware?
I was wondering if these things were really any good or worth buying or not so I appreciate your video.
you can't really go by this guy he hates Pandora Boxes i own the bartop without Wifi and it runs just fine the lines he is complaining about only bother people that are younger i'm an old school arcade gamer so lines do not bother me i use to old style monitors they all had line after a while and as far as the coin acceptor goes mine worked when i got mine same with power button he either got a defective one or he just made the video to complain either or.
It would be hard to find one for cheaper. Love it!!
Madlittlepixel: ".......You can't really play Super Mario Bros with an arcade stick!"
Me: Hold my beer!
Realy dont need it build my bartop for just a half year ago. Slapped in a pi 3. Resolved some overheating issue because it was in an enclosed box. And there we are. Playing just fine would not trade it i for such a device. Seems to me you are showing us what not to buy. But liked the video. Thanks m8
wish it was cheap enough to gut and stick a pc in
How funny. I just posted a pickup pic on your Facebook group of getting one of these for $85. The previous owner installed the Pandora Box DX and its a great system for quick arcade play or for a man cave
Did you call Marvel vs Cap com 2 Nonsense The greatest fighting game of all time .
No, watch my video on the Pandora 18s and you will understand. The game has bad graphics glitches on this machine. I'm referring to deleting games that dont play properly as being nonsense.
@@Madlittlepixel oh ok
Looks neat
S Mario Bros started out on the arcade. I got as far as world 1-4 I think the monitor looks pretty good has that 4: 3 CRT look.
Super mario was an arcade game though. When i was a kid i would play it last because I could always beat it on 1 quarter. Id play it once I ran out of money.
I assume you mean marvel vs Capcom 2 doesn't run well in the Dreamcast emulation on this device and not on the Dreamcast in general, because it's 100% arcade perfect on the Dreamcast
Thank you for the truth someone else that do the same thing you do. They stated it's good etc. Etc. But I am going with what you say. Thank you so much I will save my money
Coin mech is a bit pointless if you can just reach round the back and hit the menu button and put it on freeplay. I would have at least hidden it inside the cab.
All Pandoras are horrible little emulator boxes, you really need to get Retroarch on them by modding to really enjoy them.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 runs smooth on the Dreamcast. Is the gameplay better on the Pandora apparatus?
Just bought mines pretty satisfied seems like they chopped up a lot of the qc problems you were talking about this thing is huge
Not bad🕹at all but that price isn't Cheap...I don't think so LOL😄
Based earthbound music
you got a defected one, including a defected LED display. overall, it is a cool design.
Are they your games?
Maybe but $300. Dollars is to much money for me
I've only ever seen them on AliExpress and the shipping takes the the piss! It's more than the machine itself
Man You are Amazing with this Video I Love It
Is it better to play on this than a 2 player console connected to a TV?
I'm glad it arrived and I do apologise for saying it's a dodgy product listing. It is still strange to see something like that existing. In terms of the games, with the Tekken games, are they the arcade version or the playstation?
PlayStation and psp versions.
Custom wheels with coin collector makes an awesome arcade experience! 👾
Yes you can find these at your Tilt Arcade. There's plenty of them installed to real machines
whats the price?
Nice Core Grafx Box down there on the Backdrop!
can't play Mario with a joystick lol never played with the NES Arcade pad i take it lol i can play Mario with a joystick just fine
Does it have WrestleFest and simpsonS
Yes
Cook video talk
Is it chargable?
Spoiled 😅
Wish I could add a coin acceptor to my Pandora Box arcade stick, really adds to the authenticity.
$338
How is this even legal?
Who else but China.
Sounds like a shielding issue?
This has blasted through the gray area and cratered into copyright infringement lol
I've been looking at this machine for a long time. Thank you for reviewing it. Regarding your distortion on the screen, most real arcade machines come with an isolation transformer to reduce electrical interference because they were meant for use in a commercial environment where you can have devices like blenders etc that cause noise on the electrical system. Try slapping the unit behind a UPS with line conditioning or try to wire in a 120V isolation transformer in there and see if that distortion on the display goes away.

This video was jizmik!
Looks like good for the price
How much???
