For that price might as well try it- This uses a standard Jamma or???

Most of the Pandoras are cloned fakes, The latest genuine one is the 1300 in 1 pink Pandoras Box 6.
I just used one in a dino king it runs fine.
Its chamma not Jamma though.
Basicly the same except 2 ground wires are re purposes as Button 6 for p1&2

They don't even switch resolution...

But the 1300 in 1 can change resolutions, I have mine set to 640 x 480 to run on the cabs CRT.

Pandoras are junk in general, I would say :DYes now they do and there is no way anything else is cheaper/easier to use. Better, probably...

I can confirm that MK4 is a PSX port and so is Tekken 1-3 though.
But it plays Street Fighters etc fine no issues that I have seen.
Compared to a Pi? well much of a muchness really. Certainly less set up time lol

Never used a clone so cant comment.

According to the pandoras box 6 readme;
Quote
Switch display resolution:
In order to meet the needs of more players, this product exclusively supports 3 display resolutions: 1280x720, 1024x768, 640x480,384x224(CRT 15KHz). The default output is 1280x720.
It does not indicate auto switching to proper game resolutions.
A pi would be better than parandora box - with an option that has some sort of setup similar to switchres. Like retrotink. Or rgb-pi. Oomek tried the latter and said it has lots of lag. I think a pi is great for fun, but wouldn't put one in my arcade cabinet.

Nope it has no control over game res that I know of.

Never used a clone so cant comment.Setting a single/common resolution is a thing, switching res on a per-game basis is another story

Many games have different resolutions. Having a fixed resolution means that games will be scaled, likely unevenly. Having a fixed vertical refresh rate leads to some games having scrolling issues. Im not a professional, but im sure these things can better be explained by others in the groovymame section.

I was agreeing with you that it has no game specific resolutions that I know of ;)
