Best bet is to get a Pandora Box and then use get a Pi2Jamma to plug in a Raspberry Pi and convert it. So to get Retropie to run fast, you might have to make some compromises compared to Pandora Box. Do you know how to get your own ROMs that actually work? My images load that much slower then Pandora Box because it has so much on it. Are you up to it? Build your pi, add Retropie, setup joystick, theme, Bluetooth, Jukebox, ROMs, Emulator, Drivers, etc, etc. I’m not to crazy about the bezels in Retropie compared to the full screen usage of Pandora Box. It makes better use of the screen out of the box. Pandora Box also has a visual advantage to Retropie out the box. Pandora box exits games almost instantly while loading games is pretty short. I own the fake Pandora Treasure with 2020 games. Depending on the Retropie image, the load times and exit times can be long compared to Pandora Box. There are pluses and minuses to both systems, but if you just want to jump and play a game I think that pandora box is a better option for overall enjoyment. I own both the raspberry pi and a pandora box console. I love my arcade1up with a pi inside.ĭefinitely a newer Pandora Box with the Cortex-A53 2.0 GHz vs Raspberry Pi with Cortex-A53 1.4 Ghz. If you do get one, at least make sure to get the official ones and not the knockoffs, but the pi is a better investment. I liked the idea of a Pandora’s box at first since it seemed the least fuss, and it was fun to use, but it ultimately was missing some games I really wanted, and didn’t emulate as well as I’d hoped. I also like how I can remap controls per game in the pi.
My pi 3b+ runs those three arcade versions really well (just some audio crunch here and there). Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and ultimate are huge for me, and no Pandora’s box handles them (the 6 claims to, but they’re really the PlayStation 1 versions). I noticed similar issues in a few other games. Playing X-men on the Pandora’s box had occasional layers in the wrong order (so something that was supposed to be behind something else was now in front of it), there were other graphical issues here and there, and it fully crashed on me once while simply walking across the screen. My reasoning was that the emulation on the Pandora’s box was better than nothing, but not as good as RetroPie. I actually gutted my official Pandora’s box 5 (one of the ones with arcade controls) and replaced the insides with a pi.
