About this product
This Dual Panel Home Arcade Machine is the Pandora Game Console Platinum Pro set up as two separated arcade sticks, one per player, joined by a serial cable. It plugs into almost any modern TV over HDMI or into a VGA monitor, and it is the setup we point people to when they are building a game room, kitting out an office lounge or when they want something they can pack up and take to a friend's place.
It is also the most economical way into our Pro hardware. You get the same mainboard as our more involved builds, and you can upgrade the buttons and joysticks later instead of paying for everything on day one.
The extra long HDMI cable is a small thing that matters in a game room, where the TV is often on the far wall and the players are on a couch or a pair of stools across from it.
On a single shared panel, two grown adults end up sitting hip to hip. Separate panels let each player set their stick on a knee, a coffee table or a TV tray, at whatever distance feels right. In a fighting game it also stops anyone from glancing at the other player's hands to read the next move.
The Pandora Platinum Pro does not have built in games. You pick them as GameCraZE archive cards in the builder below, up to three, and each card has a Click for Game List button so you can read the titles first. A few of the cards offered here and what is on them:
Run & Gun can go in the second slot. If you leave the first slot on No Game Card, the console arrives with nothing to play, and the builder says so in capital letters.
Both panels can take Sanwa parts, the joysticks and buttons used in Japanese arcade cabinets. On this page you can stay with Default Pandora Platinum Hardware or choose Upgrade to Sanwa Buttons, Upgrade to Sanwa Joysticks, or Upgrade to Sanwa Joysticks & Buttons. Players who came up on Street Fighter at the arcade usually go straight for the joysticks.
Connect the two panels with the serial cable, run HDMI to the TV, plug in the adapter and pick a game. That is the whole setup. Like every Pandora Game Console we sell, it is covered by our Lifetime Mainboard Warranty, and US SUPPORT is a phone call away if anything goes wrong.
