Good system, a lot of features, menu system needs work
Thanks to a flood of randomly named Pandora Box's on the market it's hard to find the exact one you are looking for. In my case, I was looking for the WiFi one (which has either WiFi in the name of this products name.)Anyway, I won't let that issue drag my review of the this system.I will say for around $200 what is included is well worth the cost. I haven't added any additional games to the system yet.... (I will adjust my review if it goes horribly wrong). Games load pretty quickly and without too much hassle. For parents with young kids... there are a few adult games in there. I haven't checked the entire games list but you can delete them from the system with no way for your kids to restore them (unless they download them to a USB stick). There are instructions provided on how to add or remove games to help you out.The external controller support only seems to support Xbox 360 controllers (I do have some, somewhere but none on hand to see how that works.) So no PS4/Xbox1 controller support. The HDMI cable I received was a really long, thick cable, but the ends weren't molded on properly and the cable end plugged into the Pandora broke within 5 minutes of use.The games menu has a search and a category list but that too is an issue as some of the games are mislabled. There are a ton of N64 games on the system but you don't have enough buttons on the controller for some games.... so that's odd. I can say the N64 games I did play, ran very well. Also, strangely, games are roms and ask for save slots alot ... some games can save others cannot.... it's random at best. Button layouts can be configured, thru a small button on the back by the USB that will load up the system config. The only problem I have with this section is the buttons aren't labeled and for the PSX button 1 is X, button 3 is Triangle, Button 4 (under 1st button) is Square and Button 6 is Circle, button 2 and 4 are L and R. But if you bring up a menu then it's button 1 select, button 2 cancel. It's not clear that if I move the PSX layout to be closer to a PSX joypad if it changes all the controls for all the other games.I know this all sounds bad.... but for 99.9% of the games run super well and mostly all of the games have a demo reel that shows you what the game is about before you start it. I saw MvC with sprite tearing but outside of the visual glitches it was running buttery smooth. Hell even the DC emulation was smooth.

Fantastic while it lasted, but would consider purchasing again.
While the unit that we received was defective, I believe that it was due to the fault of the shipper. The box was pretty banged up by the time I got here. it was fun to play for a few weeks except for the HDMI cable kept slipping out from the back and several of the games were glitching in and out eventually the whole thing just blacked out and ceased to work or turn on at all. I'm confident that this must have been an isolated incident. The seller was extremely easy to work with I'm issuing a prompt refund. They clearly care a great deal about the level of customer service they provide and their willingness to correct any defects that may arise. But again I think that this would likely do to fall to the shipper and/or was just a freak incident.

Awesome system! Get it!
This Pandora’s Box is awesome! I would have been happy with the WiFi 3D advertised but the seller sent the even newer WiFi 3D PLUS! The WiFi game store works great and it came with every single game listed. Granted a bunch of them are duplicates (either exact duplicates or just the same game on different systems). But you still get thousands of non-duplicate games. Every single one of my 90’s arcade favorites from my childhood was there and they sound and play beautifully. That was the main reason I bought it. Also a bunch of Sega Genesis and Nintendo games I wanted are on there. Would definitely recommend this seller and product. Too many fakes and crummy systems out there. This is legit and the best one as of writing this review.

Works well enough…but needs work
I was a bit worried about getting this for the price but it worked perfect for my needs. The joysticks and buttons work and feel great! The actual finish on the artwork seems cheap but the controls are solid and old school feeling. As for the emulation/games/interface, it could use some work. I have many different emulation devices so I was only really concerned about arcade/2 player games on this device. The problem is that most of the games on here are not arcade/2 player games. There are also hundreds of games not in English (Japanese and Chinese). This isn’t really a problem because you can delete the games or hide them from the library. However, you have to scroll through a list of 8000 games. Some of which aren’t even named correctly. You can only delete one game at a time rather than check a bunch off and delete them. It’s hard to know what you’re deleting because there is no video when selecting games to delete. There are also way to many duplicate games under different names. This makes cleaning your list a pain. You can opt to open it up and remove the sd card but it’s glued in a seems to me to be a pain to have to go through. Otherwise, this product is fine. It works fine if you want to create an arcade cabinet like experience but should be refined for the price. It’s a bit choppy and cheap in interface areas and emulation but it is able to play most arcade games just fine and in all honesty, that’s why you’re interested in this, right?
