[eBay.ca] Pandora Box 5S Arcade Consoles - $120-135 or less with free shipping from GTA

These units plug in to any TV and have ~1000 games built in. They also plug into PS4 systems to be used as arcade joysticks.

Just got one - arrived in 3 days from Mississauga. Shipping is included, no tax and EBAY coupon eligible. I used a 15% off on mine. They work well and have a ton of the old games. Highly recommended at this price point. There are a few sellers on ebay that look the same but the second one is the exact one I bought from..

Lots of fake Pandora 5S around....I believe both listed in OP are fakes....the real one don't look like that. No offence to OP of course.

Just a note, those aren't real Pandora 5S units but clones of the Pandora 4S ones

Emulation is rather poor (I have a 4S unit with 880 games instead of the 1000+ ones you can find) and out of all the games, you have many many clones/hacks so the game count is actually lower.

Real Pandora 5 units have an external SD card slot to add your games and comes with a much faster SBC (probably along the lines of an OrangePI)

Can you please link us to real 5 units? I'd be interested in getting a quality one, even if it means more $$ (but not too much ... free shipping would be good).

I actually have one.

Again - knock off of a jamma knock off card. None of these are licensed by anyone.

Joysticks and buttons are china sourced and not Sanwa brand but it's $125. Games play well for the most part - some do not. It's $125, it's not a $500 console.

Overall these are pretty good IMO. I am very happy and we have had a ton of fun so far.

Didn't know these exist and they look pretty cool..... But now confused which to buy... What's the difference between 4S and 5S, fake and not fake?

Do you know if the joystick and buttons are modable?

It's all very confusing, I have been looking at these for over a year. Many of them ship from China and take weeks to arrive.

From what I see most of them are "knock offs" and there is no way to tell for sure. I bought one of these because it shipped locally (got it in 2 days) and the price was down from $200+ a year ago.

4S has a few less games but it's probably fine also. Box looks the same.

I bought this one for my work when Ebay had the 15% off deal came out to $107.95. Joystick buttons could be better it's not Sanwa, but they are still very functional, and the range of old school fighting games was pretty amazing. Well worth the money.

It does take a bit of time to load the games which isn't that slow but there is a wait. Not sure what the USB ports on it are used for on the control panel.

I'm going to guess just older MAME games, including Neo Geo, CPS2, CPS1.

I paid about the same.

The games do take 10-15 seconds to load but it's nothing terrible. Even Android games take that on my phone.

The USBs can be connected to a PC or a PS4 to allow use as just a joystick station. I still have not tried it on my PS4.

aliexpress lists the games if you want to read through all 800+ depending on which you are looking at.

When you get a chance to test, can you post results?
