CPU-wise I've never noticed it doing anything it shouldn't.
It very much depends on the version
- *All* of them have some audio glitches for some games (but its generally minor)
- Virtually all of them have some screen tearing issues for some games which scroll quickly (Wonderboy is the one I've seen the most problems with)
- Some of them (the 4 and early 5's) added Sega games but they just dont run (if your one has outrun on it check that because that typically plays badly if at all)
- Some higher end games (Mortal Kombat onwards) tend to have some speed / slowdown issues
For most people your back to 'its good enough' - and if you dont notice problems with it then great !
I've owned three variations so far -
1) Used Pandora's Box 3 - worked pretty well, but sold it on to buy..
2) Pandora's Box 4 - the nicest one I've had; the build quality was good and it had more games (although Mortal Kombat ran poorly), but I've passed that on to my brother to save space and then bought a single-joystick..
3) Pandora's Box 5 - as you mentioned, this has some Sega games on it, but they run horrifically.
