This hardware difference was never actually intended to become the standard beatmania IIDX cabinet. Originally, KONAMI had planned to develop and release two different versions of arcade cabinets, a version similar to that of its predecessor ''beatmania'' and its ill-fated successor ''beatmania III'', and a 'deluxe' cabinet with a 'DX' suffix on the end of the name.
