Pandora's Box is a series of bootleg JAMMA XXX-in-1 arcade boards manufactured since 2012 by 3A-Game Electronic Technology, headquartered in Guangzhou, China.

Overview

All of the boards are running the Final Burn Alpha emulator, with few tweaks to maintain normal speed in such a small board, but that also leads into many issues with several games. There is also an issue with screen tearing, especially when using CRTs with the board.

Despite the claim that this board has a JAMMA pinout, the pinout is actually a non-standard JAMMA. buttons 5-6 in each player are wired to pins 26 and 27 in the parts side and d and e in the solder side. Pins 27 and e are supposed to be ground in the standard JAMMA pinout.

It is also notable that some games are repeated, with many hacks of the originals which are included in the game lists too, including, most notably, the King of Fighters series and Street Fighter II.
