The IIDX controller and games have 7 keys instead of 5. You can use it but you will have to toggle the '5-key' option which autoplays the 6th and 7th note. I advise you to get a 7-key controller as it makes the game more enjoyable. I advise you the use of Lunatic Rave because it's the best emulator around. Beatmania IIDX tasks the player with performing songs through a controller consisting of seven key buttons and a scratchable turntable. Hitting the notes with strong timing increases the score and groove gauge bar, allowing the player to finish the stage. I've been trying to get beatmania IIDX ultimate mobile working on PC but no emulator I've tried will work. Qooapp says 'device incompatible'. Games promoted to working: beatmania IIDX 4th style (GCA03 JAA), beatmania IIDX 6th style (GCB4U JAB), beatmania IIDX 6th style (GCB4U JAA), beatmania IIDX 7th style (GCB44 JAA), beatmania IIDX 8th style (GCC44 JAA) and beatmania IIDX Substream with DDR 2nd Club Version 2 (984 A01 BM). Changed RF5C400 clock to match board notes in driver.

Hi. I want to talk about one thing.
You will know MAME. That emulator capable of emulating arcade machine games and reliving those times when we played on those little machines spending our credits until we ran out of money. As well as playing games that were hard to find rarities and most were exclusive to Arcade.
But everything has its pros and cons. Well, MAME is not capable of emulating various games 100%, either because they have graphical errors, it has many slowdowns or problems that make the game unplayable.
And unfortunately this happens to the BEMANI games. Some work perfectly well, others are playable but with some bugs and most are unplayable.
Because of that, I will ask you the question ... Why isn't there a proper emulator for BEMANI AC games?
They will see. There are tons of emulators dedicated to different arcade boards. Like Final Burn, he decides to emulate games from the CPS1, CPS2, CPS3 and Neo Geo boards. Zinc, which is dedicated to emulating arcade board games based on PS1 hardware such as ZN-1, ZN-2 and Namco System 11. Finally there was Demul, who is dedicated to emulating boards whose hardware is based on or similar to Dreamcast like NAOMI, NAOMI 2, Atomiswave and Hikaru.
I wish there is an emulator, and that this emulator is dedicated solely and exclusively to emulating BEMANI games. Make it open source because I want it to be a community project and to borrow parts of the MAME source code to make its development a little easier. Even it has built-in tools to rip songs and all kinds of assests.
This would be the arcade boards with respective specifications and their respective games that I want to be emulated that I will put on this list.

Other Features ; custom geometry engine, custom polygon engine, MJPEG decoder
Flash Card Notes ; All games used a 32meg flash card for the games program, the exception for this is the 'Disney's Rave' machine, which for some reason uses a 16meg flash card, so if you want to upgrade you need to get your hands on a 32 meg card.
Notes ; Drummania and Guitar Freaks can actually be linked together for 'Jam' sessions.
Conversion Notes ; The newer versions require some of the roms to be flashed on the mainboard when upgrading the machines. DDR5th Mix was possibly the first to do this. Upgrade kits for 5th Mix come with the System Disc and a security cartridge. To upgrade, Normally, for DDR, the system will boot to the CD, check the security cart, if the cart's empty, it'll overwrite the security cart and prompt a reboot. After the reboot, it'll check the security cart as normal and now as it's been written to will boot up normally.
This was, among other things, to change the game system code so the game would run at 60 fps as opposed to 30 fps.
3rd Mix Notes (thanks to Ross) : How to tell what version of 3rd Mix you have...
If the default song is 'Shock' then you have a 3rd Mix Korea Ver.2. Thist has 16 Korean songs on it, the drawback is that it's missing a few songs from both 3rd and 2nd Mix.
If your default song is Bakkwo then you have a 3rd Korea. If you have ever played on a 3rd Mix Plus, 4th, or 4th Plus you will notice that these are the same seven songs on the other mixes.
Lastly if you default song is Upside Down then it's an asian 3rd Mix. Not only are there songs missing from the real Japanese version but there are 0 Korean songs as well.

Notes ; Drummania and Guitar Freaks can actually be linked together for 'Jam' sessions.
Conversion Notes ; The newer versions require some of the roms to be flashed on the mainboard when upgrading the machines. DDR5th Mix was possibly the first to do this. Upgrade kits for 5th Mix come with the System Disc and a security cartridge. To upgrade, Normally, for DDR, the system will boot to the CD, check the security cart, if the cart's empty, it'll overwrite the security cart and prompt a reboot. After the reboot, it'll check the security cart as normal and now as it's been written to will boot up normally.
This was, among other things, to change the game system code so the game would run at 60 fps as opposed to 30 fps.
3rd Mix Notes (thanks to Ross) : How to tell what version of 3rd Mix you have...
If the default song is 'Shock' then you have a 3rd Mix Korea Ver.2. Thist has 16 Korean songs on it, the drawback is that it's missing a few songs from both 3rd and 2nd Mix.
If your default song is Bakkwo then you have a 3rd Korea. If you have ever played on a 3rd Mix Plus, 4th, or 4th Plus you will notice that these are the same seven songs on the other mixes.
Lastly if you default song is Upside Down then it's an asian 3rd Mix. Not only are there songs missing from the real Japanese version but there are 0 Korean songs as well.

You kinda answered your own question: It's different hardware types. >>
There's no reason to make an 'emulator' for the Python games because they're technically PS2 games (so you'd be better off hoping PCSX2 would add support a la Dolphin adding Triforce arcade support), and Firebeat's notoriously hard to replicate without using copyrighted code.
And you can already play the early Beatmania/DDR/Pop'N games with MAME, and we just now have support for IIDX 1-8.
tl;dr, there's no way there's going to be an 'emulator' for all these AC Bemani games under one roof; there's already much easier, and much less legally ambiguous ways of playing DDR/IIDX/etc. And even if that wasn't into consideration, it's not like making an emulator for Sega's Model 2 arcade board because there's a wide variety of games that use it; there's only a very small library that plays a very niche genre of games.

I'm just gonna say there IS an emulator besides MAME.
Beyond that, this topic is useless and needs to be trashed. He answered his own question, MAME is the only reliable thing out there unless you know your sources.

Get a campaign going and I will support it if we get Pop 'n Stage emulation.

Friends. They should know that there are games that do not deserve to be forgotten and must be known and tested by many people through emulation.
I would like to play beatmania III. Since it is the beatmania classic (5-key) but with better graphics, in addition to having exclusive songs that do not appear in the beatmania THE FINAL that uses the BEMANI DJ-MAIN arcade board.
Watch this gameplay and you will realize:
But that kind of game cannot be emulated in MAME, so I want that emulator that I want so much to be able to play that game.

Why?
1. there's really no demand
2. it's not easy to make an emulator for this stuff

You probably should get people that actually understand how to make Emulators instead of asking people here to make one. Creating Emulators isn't an easy task to begin with so you can't go 'Hey make an emulator for this niche Hardware because there's a game I'd like to play' and expect people to comply easily. You also need to realize these games have different hardwares so technically they need different emulation as well and not everyone want to spend their time emulating each hardware for only a few games to play.
This. Making an emulator is not a drag-and-drop-and-that's-it process. It's insanely hard work and usually takes years.

But I don't have money to buy arcade cabinets. Besides that they can be very expensiveAnd I can't leave home because of the situation we have, you know why.

and no sorry no one is gonna want to put focus on a new emulator that can only play like a handful of old japanese rhythm games over continuing to develop the most versatile arcade emulator on the market which just recently started to happen to support some bemani games

Game preservation is important yada yada yada but you’re just being unreasonable amigo. Just accept that fact that you need to buy the cabinet or the pcb for the game with a controller hooked up which will cost you mucho dinero. What you want ultimately is freebies handed out to you like a welfare recipient.
