ITG 2 Dedicated Cabinet DDR Compatible?

PBoy227

Hello, before I start this post I wanna ask that we all be mature and not post stupid comments just to bash.

On to the post:

I am seriously considering buying one of the ITG2 dedicated cabinets, but also love DDR Extreme. A few friends and I have been debating the ability of running a DDR Extreme upgrade in an ITG2 cabinet.

No, I am not trying to rip off RoXoR in any way. I am very thank full for RoXoR for this wonderfull game.

I am not the wealthiest person on earth and cannot afford both an ITG2 machine and a DDR machine.

So, is there anybody that knows if an ITG 2 machine is compatible with DDR Extreme?

I can't speak on a practical level (and I doubt most others can as they've not been shipped out yet), but in theory...

It wouldn't make sense for Roxor to make two types of Boxor, one working the insides of a dedicated cab, one to go in other machines. If the ITG2 cabs can be made JAMMA compatible easily then the upgrade packs can just be shoved in there and used to power the machines. In theory, this would mean unless specifically disabled, DDR might work in an ITG2 cab the same way ITG2 works in a DDR cab.

Actually, I do beleve that RoXoR used the same EXACT JAMMA harness system that Konami originally used, to make everything less confuzing. Im not promising anything - but Id say its a 90% chance!

Judging on the fact that the ITG dedicated cabinet is manufactored by Andamiro chances are you would more likely get Pump it Up running on it... but uh the pads don't match so it wouldn't matter...

ITG is powered by the "boxor" which is a computer.
you'd have to get a ddr box (which is the "brain" of the ddr machine) and probably the power supply units and make sure all the connections are the same. most likely the tv unit/jamma connector are the same.

your best bet is to buy an extreme cabinet and get itg2 into it.

jamma = japanese arcade machine manufacturers association if anyone is wondering =P it's a standardized connector for arcade cabinets so it would be easy to swap games.

What I'm thinking is what was stated in the first post.

Roxor still isn;t the biggest of companys and probably does't have the money to come up and and produce its own controller.

I know that they are still using the JAMMA controler on the upgrade kits and I'm assuming that they would use the same boxor on their dedicated cabinets.

Oh, and does PIU use the JAMMA? Does anyone know? Cause if it does then you can probably remap a DDR box and have it run in there.

I know someone who has had a BoXoR running in a DMX machine before so there are possiblities for the BoXoR.

Could you imagine Pandamonium on DMX?

A kinda-related question:

will there be any way to upgrade a ddr 8th mix to itg2? I know there is a lot of differences in the hardware involved, so more than an upgrade kit would be necesarry, but could it be reasonably done?

Yes, you can purchase the boxor upgrade kit. It is, I think $2999.

wow, I expected upgrading ddr to itg2 would be a huge no-no, since it seems to be ripping off ddr's hardware even more than itg1 did.
