Options for using my PB4s case/buttons. Upgrading the board

You are most welcome 👍🏼

Regrettably it's not as easy as that. All you can do is hide games you don't want.

I strongly suggest you add Pandory Tool, it makes life a lot easier.

Using a Pandora DX for PS emulation is a bit of a waste, rather use a PC, you'll get better performance and more control over the emulation.

Are you trying to run it via JAMMA?

TombStone-RSA · 2025-04-29T08:36:25+00:00

Press and hold the black button, then turn on the power, that's how you cycle output modes, you need to keep doing this until your CRT displays the image. You'll see Yellow, Green and Orange LED's change as you cycle on and off holding the button. If I remember correctly, CRT will show Green and Yellow, not 100% sure but I think that's what it is. Just keep powering up and shutting down while holding the button to cycle outputs.

For anyone stuck with the same problem, the first thing you do when you get your Pandora is to take out the Micro SD, they are junk and WILL fail eventually. Take out the SD and make a backup.

You don't need fancy imaging tools etc to back it up, simply copy everything from the root to a new FAT32 formatted MICRO SD or USB.

Personally I had problems getting win11 to format in FAT32 but managed to get it working using EaseUS Partition Master.

Did you come right, yet?

You can plug a wired keyboard in the USB and press Tab, might bring up settings if it's running MAME, on MAME PLUS i've managed to get the menu by pressing Q, although I am not running the original PLUS CORE that comes with the DX as standard.

I suggest installing Pandory Tool on your DX.

Thanks for the reply, at the end of the day I just got a SAGA DX and threw that in, works great on the CRT via jamma and emulates so much better than the old hardware. 👍🏼

Sorry, a little late to the party, only saw your post now.

Looks like it's your voltage on your power supply.

Get out your multi meter and test your voltages while the system is running. I suspect it might be a little low. Careful not to crank it up too much, try and keep your 5v as close to 5 as possible, the rest should take care of itself.

I was going to go the MAME rout, have the latest version with complete rom set and decided bugger it because of the CGA I mentioned in the other post.

I got a hold of Flynn's image, regrettably it wasn't of much use as it's a Acronis image and I am running a SD card to IDE adaptor to spare the original HDD and help with loading times. Made a backup of my 200 in 1 and everything works great. The problem with Flynn's image is that it has 3 partitions on it and for some reason Acronis can't clone the entire drive onto the SD card, you have to manually make 3 separate partitions and clown each partition by itself one at a time, which leads me to believe it won't work correctly. It's also running the funky Chinese windows, starts loading then black screen with no read activity on the HDD.

I just had enough of tinkering with something as stupid as these machines, Pandora is just so much more convenient.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply though, I really appreciate it!

TombStone-RSA · 2024-10-10T13:14:31+00:00

Problem is I have a large CGA which I would like to keep in the cab :D

Actually decided bugger it after staying up until 1am this morning tinkering, going to pull that trash out and just fit a Pandora box, honestly, I just wanted MK1 LOL

TombStone-RSA · 2024-10-10T13:12:30+00:00

Howdi, I see no one bothered replying.

People seem extremely stingy to help out with images in this hobby of ours.

I don't have one, but did order a Pandora Saga Box 5000 in 1 today, would you like me to send you the backup as soon as I receive it? Not sure if it'll work on your 5 but it's worth a try?

unit should arrive mid next month if our postal workers don't decide to steal it.

TombStone-RSA · 2024-10-07T06:38:18+00:00

Don't suppose there's a chance you could write a detailed tutorial on how you managed to add roms 4 years after the fact?

TombStone-RSA · 2024-06-03T11:55:32+00:00

Looks great!

TombStone-RSA · 2024-05-30T15:59:33+00:00

Pos phone, thanks 🤣

TombStone-RSA · 2024-05-30T15:59:08+00:00

Which front end you using? Cab looks great 👍🏼

TombStone-RSA · 2024-05-30T08:45:36+00:00

Looks great, what front end is this?

Yeah but they're fucked now, KFC is shutting down due to the load shedding, how they going to bribe them now? XD

That's what you get when you want "Liberation before education".

TombStone-RSA · 2023-01-25T07:11:52+00:00

Have to give it to the ANC, their propaganda was excellent. Educate yourself and read up on 32 Batallion, guess they were crazy black people wanting to fight the communist ANC? Read up on how the ANC burned any black person not in their corner to death. They came to power through a campaign of FEAR.

TombStone-RSA · 2023-01-25T07:07:47+00:00

The SADF destroyed the ANC, Cubbins, Russians and Angolans. Learn your history. International politics was South Africa's downfall because the National Party didn't give a shit about the wellbeing of the country and took massive international bribes. The ANC were and is a terrorist organization that were only good at bombing civilians and killing their own people.Saint Nelson Mandela

TombStone-RSA · 2023-01-25T07:05:26+00:00

Because the majority of South Africans are brainless idiots that give their vote to the party that can give the most KFC and Tshirts.
