buying a machine

Would it be possible to get a machine into the US if i wanted to buy one.

Not at all easily, especially if you're not an already well known Bemani focusing arcade owner.

Yea it would be pretty hard, and would end up costing a lot for one too.

Talk to an amusement machine distributor like Manjiro Works and be prepared to shell out a lot of money. Still, that's how Colorado got its Carnival machine (Spork bought it), so I imagine if you were willing to spend the money you could do it, too!

alrighty thanks guys. i may also be interested in just making a arcade cabinet for my ps2, tv, and a custom pop'n gamepad. anyone know how high the buttons are from the ground. or any dimensions at all.

Just go see the threads on ransai and Desktop Arcade, their ASC have the correct dimentions.

Do you think it would be wise to buy a DDR machine from them?

And I just realized this is a pop'n thread.

prepare to be paying a shit load of money, because its very expensive for the machine, and over seas shipping.

That's probably one of the first things I would do if I ever won a ludicrous amount of money in a lottery... after paying all my loans and my credit card debt.
