      yeah unless you have to carry the crate style box that has no handles up a small flight of stairs all by yourself it's not cool at all lol but once it's all setup and running it's an awesome machine especially the 3D games version which is what i got

    I own one . I swapped all buttons and joysticks to Hori Hayabusa. It was no easy feat to find the Hori buttons . I also swapped the board to a Pandora Saga 3D with 3300 in 1 vs the Pandora 1100 in 1 . I had to solder pins on the Pandora Saga board for the harness to plug onto. I really like the arcade now that I made these improvements.

    Ironically, the fact this is $300 shows how much of a steal the iircade bartop was during the Kickstarter. Much more powerful hardware, much higher build quality and at the super early bird price actually the same price.

      Outside of the emulation issues (and they're not ultra terrible) it's actually a fun unit to play on because the screen is so damn big! I'm sure the iiRcade with the 19" screen feels amazing to play! Are you loving it!

  • @Elzilcho87

    So some cheap Chinese knockoff from china can install a working coin slot into their shabby bartop, but all the expensive western bartops with luxury parts never have them? Why can't all these western minicab makers (Arcade 1up, MVSX etc.) simply add a working coin slot to their ridiculously expensive cabs? The nostalgia factor would be even better if they just added that simple little feature.

  • @nocturnal101ravenous6

    I like it to an extent ..and what I mean by that is replace the LCD with a better one HDMI, and throw in a Raspberry Pi4 with a 512GB Virtualman Image on it and see if you can add Sanwa sticks and buttons with adding 2 more for extended game compatibility.It would be nice if the coin mech could be easily used as well with an encoder.

    That new At Games Connect board should fit and that would give you online access plus access to their ecosystem, so it’d kinda be a small form factor Legends Ultimate at that point.

    • @RetroRalph
      @RetroRalph  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe that board outputs at 16:9 aspect ratio so it would likely look bad on a 5:4 aspect ratio screen. I like where your head is at but unfortunately unless it supports 4:3 or 5:4 it would look really bad on this display. Let me know if you know anything different but I think in its current state, it wouldn’t look right.

    • @graydogg51
      @graydogg51 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RetroRalph I believe it has a fill screen option to fit it to the ratio. It wouldn’t be a true aspect ratio change but if I’m remembering from the contest videos correctly it’ll fit to screen.

      It might be time for me to make a Pandora Box 101 video. It's actually really confusing because you can buy them as Fight Sticks, Bar Top Arcades, The Board only for DIY.... there's endless options. I will do a video in the next couple of weeks that will hopefully make this a little easier to understand. Thanks for the awesome question and I appreciate you watching!

    Hey Retro Ralph - noob to creating own arcade cabinets.

Similarly looking at ipac for this. Any suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
