Pandora Box King of Game - 5142 in 1 Multigames Jamma Board V3

ATTENTION: Dreamcast and Naomi games and, in general, all games running at a resolution higher than 15 kHz are not displayed in CGA 15 kHz mode. They can only be played in VGA / HDMI mode.

The Pandora Box King of Game is a JAMMA multigame board designed to be installed straight into your arcade machine. It is a new iteration of the Pandora Box 10th Anniversary and comes with the same games: 5142 retro games, including 57 3D games, 61 lightgun games and 101 games for 3 and 4 players. Series such as The King of Fighters, Street Fighter, Metal Slug, Mortal Kombat, Tekken or Final Fight, lightgun classics like The House of the Dead 2 or Time Crisis, and four-player beat 'em ups like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or The Simpsons.

It is 100% compatible with the Retroshooter guns we sell at Arcade Express, perfect for getting the most out of the lightgun games in the collection.

This version is compatible with horizontal monitors only. It offers four output resolutions, 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720, 1024 x 768 (4:3) and 384 x 224, and works with HD monitors, VGA monitors and original CGA 15 kHz arcade monitors. That means you can use it in an arcade machine with a modern screen or in one with an original CRT tube, with a pixel perfect image.

Controls are configured independently for each game, and any 16:9 title can be switched to 4:3 in a couple of steps. It supports up to 17 emulators, such as Atari 2600, Dreamcast, Naomi, Atomiswave or PSP, and games can also be added manually.

On the settings side, the board lets you adjust the credit system for up to 4 players individually or enable FREE PLAY mode. Each game has its own difficulty, speed and number of lives settings, and a per-game timer can be set, which comes in very handy in arcades and venues. It also features turbo fire and a pause function.

For those after the classic look, it includes a scanline generator that recreates the appearance of a CRT monitor. The settings menu also offers an image enhancement option that smooths the graphics and softens the pixels; switch it on or off to taste. High scores are saved automatically, savestates are supported and favourites lists can be edited freely.

Connectivity is fully up to date: built-in WiFi and Ethernet port to update the firmware whenever new versions are released, plus 2 USB ports for gamepads or a trackball.

Performance-wise, the step up from previous boards is clear. At its heart is a Rockchip RK3566 processor: Quad Core ARM Cortex-A55 CPU at 2.2 GHz with NEON and FPU, and Mali-G52 2EE graphics supporting OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1. It is backed by 2 GB of LPDDR4X RAM at 2133 MHz, 16 GB of eMMC storage for the Android-based system and a 64 GB microSD card as additional storage. In the games we have tested we have found no lag, tearing or sound issues. It is also the first Pandora Box with 5.1 Surround sound. It has a built-in audio amplifier, so all you need is a minijack cable connected to the PCB's jack output.
