HDD talk is not allowed for a reason. The fact that you mentioned in your post that you knew it was against the rules also signifies a complete defiance of the site guidelines, and not a lack of understanding of said rules.

Do not discuss the subject again.

Ok so I'm sure that this is probably taboo on here and if it is I apologize for bringing it up. I know downloading stuff is not the best idea and you should support good companies like Konami but I downloaded the Arcade HDD rip of DJ troopers and I just had a few questions. I have a HP laptop with: dual 2.0ghz AMD processors, 2gb of ram, and a nvidia 7150m graphics card, and Windows XP. Is this good enough to run beatmania lag free? Also what would be a good usb connector for the controller. I have the radioshack Playstation to USB adapter which I used to use for Stepmania, would this be sufficient? Thanks I plan on buying beatmania IIDX Empress if I enjoy this one. Again sorry if I am breaking forum rules by mentioning the arcade hdd rips here, I'm just trying to get a feel for the games before I go out and spend a couple hundred dollars.
