Looking to take your gaming console from Sheep to Wolf? Look no further than the Retro Games Alpha 3D Max+ single board, the ultimate plug-and-play upgrade for Pandora Box consoles like GT4274 or PB9. This single board turns your entry-level arcade gaming machine into a powerhouse with 10,000 games and the option to enhance your gameplay with add-on IR-based light guns. Within a few minutes, the IR-based light guns will take Nostalgia through the roof whether you’re under attack from Zombies, Chasing down criminals or shooting targets.

Bought on its own, this board is always the L-shaped Alpha 3D Max+ with the RK3566 chipset.

If a single board or light gun add-on isn’t an option, then look no further, the PSA Saga EX2 with our software patch upgrade has a lot of great reviews.

The EX2 uses the S812 chipset, while the Alpha 3D Max+ (the L-shaped revision of the Alpha 3D Max) runs the newer RK3566 chipset, which matches or even exceeds the EX2’s performance. Ultimately, the Alpha 3D Max+ stands out for its superior gameplay optimisation and broader compatibility, supporting a wider variety of accessories like trackballs and light guns.

The single board Alpha 3D Max+ is a perfect fit for upgrading your Game on Friends or PB9 retro gaming console as can be removed from its shell to fit along with being faster and more feature-rich. The Alpha 3D Max+ brings a big increase in titles and performance. All plugs and connections are located in the same spot, which is critical as they need to line up with the rear of the case. All you need to do is unscrew, unplug then slide in the new gameboard, 4 screws and 3 plugs and the new board is secure and done. Screw the base plate back on and your upgrade is done. Now plug your HDMI and power cable back in and you’re up and playing.

Easy as that but now instead of 1660, you have 10,000 in 1 games, a search function, a save & load game progress feature, and a more capable gaming machine.

In addition to the Arcade games you also get 3D games which are higher resolution console games like Playstation, Dreamcast and N64 to name a few.

Either of these boards can be used to run your existing arcade machine via a 48-pin loom or our JAMMA converter cable.

While the EX2 can be used as a standalone. Yes using a power cable, HDMI cable and 2 of our gamepads you can be playing arcade classics in no time.

Having researched and tested many units, we only sell the latest and most reliable retro arcade models and accessories.

Easily connect to your display of choice by using the HDMI or VGA port.

Pandora’s Box gameboard FAQs

What does this upgrade do?

It replaces the board in a Pandora’s Box 9 (PB9), Game On Friends and many other Pandora’s Box consoles where screen flipping or 15 kHz display output isn’t needed. You go from about 1,660 games to around 10,000, and gain a search function and save/load game progress.

Alpha 3D Max+ or Saga EX3: which board should I choose?

We recommend the Alpha 3D Max+. It carries about 10,000 games, runs on the newer RK3566 chipset, and includes 100+ light gun games and 125 trackball games. The Saga EX3 is a dual-board version of the Saga EX2 (the same system as a newer model) and is no longer stocked.

Is it hard to install?

No. Remove the base plate, then undo 4 screws and 3 plugs and slide the new board in. Screw the base back on, reconnect HDMI and power, and you’re playing in minutes.

Will it work in my arcade cabinet?

Yes. The board can run an existing arcade machine through a 48-pin loom or our JAMMA converter cable.

Does it play 3D games?

Yes. Alongside the arcade library you get higher-resolution console games such as PlayStation, Dreamcast and N64 titles.
