So I've just come into possession of a Dance Maniax machine, and it looks to be thoroughly legit, even has a Konami certificate with it, hologram stickers, etc. Right now it's got 2nd Mix J-Append, but I discovered that the discs and security carts for 1st and 2nd Mix were also in the cabinet. This is my first experience with the insides of the machine, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether I'd have any trouble running the older mixes instead. Is it as simple as swap carts, power on, swap discs, play?

Also, what would it take to run Dance Freaks on the same hardware? Another disc and cart? Or are the machines incompatible (region-coded, whatever)?

Thanks for any insights! (Just gotta figure out how to wrangle this thing upstairs...)
