Eventually KONAMI discontinued support for the beatmania II cabs, with the IIDX 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. | 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).
