    Thanks for making this great video review!
    I recently bought one of this same model of Pandora's Box, from an Australian company. I haven't use it much, yet, but I have to say it is even better than I expected!
    The company I bought my Pandora's Box from actually has a link to this video.
    At the time of writing (4th January 2023), to the best of my knowledge, the Pandora's Box 18S Pro (Sold as "EX2 A9 10000 titles" where I bought it.) is currently the best version on the market.
    I may eventually upgrade the buttons and joysticks, because some people have said they're not responsive enough for some more demanding games. So far I've had no problems, but I only received my Pandora a few days ago.
    An added feature, that I'm yet to try out, is the unit I bought apparently has an upgrade, adding the ability to change the aspect ratio from 16:9 to old school 4:3, via holding down one button and pressing a couple of others, or something like that. (I haven't tried it yet)
    Apparently the feature is enable via additional software. I have no idea where to get it or to add it on, for machines that don't have that feature, but it's worth asking sellers before purchasing a machine.
    Another feature on mine is it has a port to plug an ethernet cable directly from its LAN port into my router, for game updates. It also has Wi-Fi, but I prefer to use a cable.
    It also has three USB ports on the rear of the machine. One is purely for using a USB stick that has any additional ROMs (there's and endless supply of them on the net.) The other two are for game controllers. Each USB port can take either one controller or two via a USB splitter.
    Something that wasn't advertised is that one of the USB controller ports can be used to daisy chain a second Pandora's Box as a slave to the first unit. That way four people can play the same game, each using a Pandora's Box controller.
    Pandora's Boxes can also be used as a game USB game controller on other machines, such as a desktop PC.

    Sorry to bother. But i just bought this a few days ago and the buttons stopped working. All of them, it might be a settings problem but i can't even go into the settings since that button won't register either! Does anyone know a way to get into settings with a controller or keyboard?
