Choose from the two leading Pandora Box gameboards
Upgrade Your Gaming Experience with the Saga EX3 or the Retro Games Alpha+ Single Board for Pandora Box Consoles.
Spoil yourself with the AimTrak style lightgun add-on that’s compatible with the Alpha+ and Windows PC.
Both boards have around 10k of titles, with the Alpha+ including over 100 lightgun games ready to go and another 125 trackball games.
Looking to take your gaming console from Sheep to Wolf? Look no further than the Retro Games Alpha+ single board, the ultimate plug-and-play upgrade for Pandora Box consoles like GT4274 or PB9. This single board turns your entry-level 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.
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+ has a Cortex A17. The EX2 has more cores and is slightly faster, while the Alpha+ is more optimised, so overall you would notice the EX2 is a tad faster, while the Alpha+ plays well and supports more accessories like a trackball, light guns, and a larger range of gamepad controllers.
The single board Alpha+ 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+ 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.
This board is better, faster, and more reliable than some newer versions, proving in the Pandora world newer is not always better.
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.

These games boards are top end and bulletproof. Used 2 of them for 2 separate restorations recently and they are easy to setup, use and extremely versatile. Love the fact you can hide certain games and set it up as a coin operated classic arcade machine for customers that prefer that option. You won't find a better model.

Great upgrade for the Game on Friends console
Pros: Everything is faster and has a lot more storage. Obviously a heap more games and supported platforms. Cons: Documentation seems scarce and you need a little knowledge to be able to install your own games and add emulators to it etc.
