Under the 16:9 wide display are the start button, both effector and VEFX buttons, and effector sliders (or the touch screen in the LIGHTNING cabinets). After [[AC 9th style|9th style]], there is also a cardreader in order to use the magnetic/contact-less smart card of [[e-amusement|e-AMUSEMENT]]. Each series produced has a different mix of new songs and older returning songs; starting with [[AC IIDX RED|beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED]], each style has also had a different graphical theme.

beatmania IIDX features quite a few differences from beatmania, including: two extra keys, full-motion video, more powerful hardware, wife-screen display, more powerful speakers. In the beginning two different models of the cabinet existed: a more standard one called beatmania II, and a more advanced one named beatmania IIDX (hence why a lot of older games' generic videos have "beatmannia II" in their background videos). Eventually KONAMI discontinued support for the beatmania II cabs, with the IIDX versions becoming the standard.
beatmania IIDX features quite a few differences from beatmania, including: two extra keys, full-motion video, more powerful hardware, wide-screen display, and more powerful speakers. Three different models of the cabinet exist: a more standard one called ''beatmania II'' (hence why a lot of older games' generic videos have "beatmania II" in their background videos), a more advanced one named ''beatmania IIDX'', and a cabinet with two screens named LIGHTNING MODEL (released on December 16th, 2019). Eventually KONAMI discontinued support for the beatmania II cabs, with the IIDX and LIGHTNING MODEL versions becoming the standard.


As of [[AC CANNON BALLERS|beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS]], two built-in cameras for hand-shooting have been added: one on the metal cage in front of the neon lights pointing at the controls, and one to the left of the screen pointing at the player(s). Initially the game would not boot up if the cameras were not attached; this was eventually patched out.

=== Home versions ===


KONAMI has released 17 home versions of beatmania IIDX: 15 on the Sony PlayStation 2 game console, one on PC, and one on mobile devices. The PS2 games are stored on DVD, and can be bought with a controller that matches the arcade version very closely. The controller's key insert is detachable, so the player may attach it as preferred on the left or the right side of the turntable. 14 home versions, from [[CS 3rd style|3rd style]] through [[CS EMPRESS|16 EMPRESS+PREMIUM BEST]], were released in Japan between 2000-2009. The series' sole North American release, simply titled [[CS USA|beatmania]], loosely uses [[CS 9th style|9th style CS]] as the source of its interface and system BGM, but contains a completely different songlist.

The latest non-mobile version, [[CS INFINITAS|beatmania IIDX INFINITAS]], is a PC release of beatmania IIDX. It uses a unique interface based on [[AC SPADA|SPADA]].

The gameplay is still the same as in ''beatmania'', with the addition of two extra keys. There are eight columns on the screen, corresponding to each of the keys and the turntable. While playing, small horizontal bars fall down these columns, and the player must press the right key corresponding to the lane as it reaches the red line. Keys 1, 3, 5, and 7 are white, 2, 4, and 6 are blue, and the scratch lane is red. Every time a key is pressed or the scratch is played, an instrument is played to complement the song. In order to hear the song correctly, the player must get the bars on the right timing. Depending on how accurate you hit the note, you will receive a rating of your performance in real time above that note, going from GREAT (a flashing one, officially known as JUST GREAT, meaning perfect timing, a regular GREAT meaning very close), GOOD, BAD, and POOR (the latter for not hitting a note at all).

The typical goal of the game is to clear the song by getting the groove gauge to 80% by song's end; clearing a song at exactly 80% is known as a "borderline". The gauge starts at 22%, and increases/decreases depending on your performance in a song. GREATs will increase the gauge quickly, GOODs will slowly increase it, BADs will decrease it slightly, and POOR will decrease it significantly. The lowest you can go on the gauge is 2%. However, depending on the game mode, gauge requirements can change, as explained below.

However, depending on the game mode, gauge requirements can change, as explained below.


From [[AC 6th style|beatmania IIDX 6th style]] onward, you will also receive a grade at song's end, pass or fail. Grade level is determined by EX-SCORE. EX-SCORE is measured by the amount of GREATs (just and regular) obtained in a song divided by two: two points for a JUST GREAT, one for a regular GREAT, and zero for everything else. You will also receive a letter grade, depending on your percentage of EX-SCORE:

* HI-SPEED - increases the scroll rate of the note chart. The actual notes do not have to be pressed any more quickly; the scroll speed is simply increased, and the notes become further apart. Most versions of beatmania IIDX have more than one Hi-Speed setting, differentiated by numbers (a higher number means a faster speed.) The Hi-Speed modifier is traditionally abbreviated HS with the number immediately following. For example, Hi-Speed 2 is abbreviated HS2. From [[AC DistorteD|beatmania IIDX DistorteD]] [[CS IIDX RED|11 IIDX RED CS]] in the arcade and consoles respectively onward, HI-SPEED can be changed in-game. .5 mods were added in HAPPY SKY and [[CS 10th style|10th style CS]] for arcade and home respectively. Starting with [[AC tricoro|tricoro]], the HI-SPEED settings go from x0.50 to x4.00 in 0.25 increments. Since SPADA, the HI-SPEED setting can only be changed on the main gameplay screen. [[AC Rootage|Rootage]] introduced a new HI-SPEED system, temporally replacing the old one. There are 10 HI-SPEED settings, and the chart will now scroll at the same speed on a given HI-SPEED setting regardless of the song BPM, but BPM changes will still affect the scroll speed. [[AC HEROIC VERSE|HEROIC VERSE]] re-enables CLASSIC HI-SPEED and expands Rootage's HI-SPEED option to 20 settings.

:Hi-Speed is traditionally adjusted by holding the START button during gameplay and hitting either a black or white key. tricoro introduces the Floating Hi-Speed, in which adjustments are done by one-hundredth decimal intervals by spinning the turntable in a corresponding direction. A player can switch between the classic, Rootage and Floating Hi-Speed by pressing the EFFECT button or [0] on the keypad while the Hi-Speed window is open.
