“Your deck. Their deck. Sit wherever you like. And when there's no one to take on, Player 1 plays solo.”
Your Own Deck.
Your Own Space.
Instead of two players sharing one panel, each player gets a complete arcade deck. Take the couch, the armchair or the floor cushion. A 1.35m link cable joins the two decks. Need more distance? Ask us about the 3m cable.
Playing on your own? Plug in just the Player 1 deck and leave Player 2 in the cupboard until your challenger turns up. Player 1 connects to the TV with the 3m HDMI cable and Player 2 plugs into Player 1, so you’re set up in about a minute.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Can I play on my own?
Yes. The Player 1 deck runs everything, so you can connect just Player 1 to the TV and play solo. Plug in Player 2 whenever a second player joins.
How far apart can the players sit?
The included link cable is 1.35m, and the HDMI cable to the TV is 3m. If you need more space between players, ask us about our 3m link cable.
Do both players get the same artwork?
Each theme comes with a different Player 1 and Player 2 design, so each player gets their own artwork. There’s no extra charge.
What can the Pandora Box Dual Deck play?
As a guide, the Pandora Box Dual Deck is capable of playing consoles up to PSP. Which consoles and games are included can vary with each setup and games card.
What's in the box?
Every Pandora Box Dual Deck comes with: Player 1 Deck, Player 2 Deck, 1.35m P1/P2 Link Cable, 3m HDMI Cable, Power Supply (Australian Certified) and Spare Buttons.
Will the games look stretched on my widescreen TV?
Games are shown in their original 4:3 shape automatically, and you can switch between 4:3 and 16:9 from the menu, however due to emulation there may be some cases where a game will not want to comply or show minor stretching. Either way, the image output is far more conformative than standard Pandora Boxes when looking at Ratio.
