=== Home versions ===


KONAMI has released 18 home versions of beatmania IIDX: 15 on the Sony PlayStation 2 game console, one on PC, and two 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 2006|beatmania (2006)]], loosely uses [[CS 9th style|9th style CS]] as the source of its interface and system BGM, but contains a completely different songlist.

* 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.
