Pandora’s Treasure splits games between 2D games list and a 3D games list. Your ArcadePro
machine will boot up to the search screen when switched on.
To switch to the games list, scroll to the top of the list where the currently seen list will be
highlighted. You can then move left or right using the Player 1 joystick to switch between the
lists.
Use the Player 1 joystick to navigate through the lists, then select your game with the Player 1
A button.
A 1 player game can be started with the Player 1 Start button. A 2 player game can be started
with the Player 2 Start Button.
If a game requires coins to play, do so by pressing the ‘Insert Coin’ button.
A game can be paused or quit at any time by pressing the Pause Button, where you will be
given the option to resume your current game, or quit back to the Pandora’s Treasure menu.
Every time a game is loaded from the menu, it is loaded ‘from fresh’, meaning that high scores
are not saved between games, unless saved manually by the player using the saving and loading
system.

Saving and Loading a Game
The system allows you to save your progress at any point, and then return to that point at a later
time. This is done by saving a “State”.
About “States”
On this ArcadePro system, a “State” can be described as a specific point or moment when in the
game. When you load a state, you will return in the game to the exact moment where you saved
it.
States can be saved, or loaded at any point of the game.
On this system, there can only be one state per game. Each new state you save will overwrite
the last.
How to use
To access the save and load system, pause the game you’re currently playing using the Pause
button, then navigate down to the “Save State” option using the joystick. Save the state by
pressing the Player 1 A button. You can resume the game by navigating back up to “Resume”,
and hitting the Player 1 A button.
To load the last state you saved, pause the game using the Pause button, and then navigate
down to the “Load State” option using the joystick. Press the Player 1 A button to load the most
recent save state. Resume the game by navigating up to “Resume”, and hitting the Player 1 A
button.

Search Function
Pandora’s Treasure includes a very useful search function that can help you to find your
favourite games in seconds, without having to scroll through the entire games list.
To find this option, highlight the games lists at the top, then navigate right to select the
search function. In this menu, you can use the Player 1 joystick and Player 1 A button to type
what you want to search for with the on-screen keyboard.
As you enter in letters, the list on the left will begin to fill with games that match your search
term. You can use the Player 1 joystick and Player 1 A button to select and play any of the
search results.
When you exit the game, you will return to your original search results, where you can play
another result, search for another game or navigate back to the main games lists.

Troubleshooting:
Wrong Language on Startup
There’s a slim chance that upon arrival, your machine will not be in English. This is an occasional
leftover from checks during production and is easily rectified.
•Access the Options Menu (See page 6)
•Scroll down to the option marked with a flag
•Press A until the language changes to English
•Save and Exit as normal
You can also view our video on how to change the language on the buying advice page on our
website at https://www.homeleisuredirect.com/arcade_machines/buying-advice/
No Sound
If there is no sound on your ArcadePro system, check to see if the amplifier on the system is
switched on, turned up and that the cabling going into the amplifier system is securely
connected.
If problem persists after these checks, contact us.
Have Fun!
