About Updating DDR CAB.

I want to update my DDR CAB, i want to install it SM 5, and i want to make an exact copy of the DDR 2014 or 2013, Can yoy explain me, how work the DDR Machines, i'm really outdated about, i dont know if in 2014 the game uses RandomMovies like ITG and DDR extreme, or the character "Dances" all the time with every song, or some songs have dedicated random movies Scripts, also i want to know if i can download the RandomMovies of DDR 2014 in HD, and also where can i get a Good theme and Characters, i know something of SM and Open ITG Programming, but actually, really i',m a n00b in SM 5, you know the codes are more advanced, etc, etc.

Thanks a lot, the help, and i'll wait your Answers. :3

If you have a DDR Cab you know how DDR machines work. If you want to check a real DDR 2014 cab you can check youtube. Are you trying to sell a bootleg?

You missed the point by a mile, the OP wants a legit looking DDR 2014 to put on his DDR AC machine. He wants guidance on how to install StepMania on his cabinet.

The proper response is to tell the OP to look for DDR 2014 stepmania threads and point to the minimaid to connect his cabinet to a PC. Something along those lines, I haven't done this myself and I don't know any specifics, but there's nothing here that points to him selling his cab as a bootleg or asking about watching youtube videos to see how DDR 2014 looks, I'm pretty sure he knows otherwise he wouldn't want his cab to look like such.

I'm talking bout' the ultime DDR Machines, the 2014 works diferent to DDR Extreme, in the characters and RandomMovies Stuff.

sherl0k has a custom Fedora install intended for running SM5 or OpenITG on a cabinet, you could try it.

I made a thread laying out how I set up my StepMania 5 installation to be as close to DDR 2014 as possible without any major coding changes or programming know-how. Have a look!

Getting it to run on a DDR cabinet though, I can't help you there.

Whoah, Thats pretty nice Nicholas, i'll read everything in that topic, and also compile all the content, for show you running in the Arcade.

Both DDR(2013), (2014) and SM 5 uses Windows XP, you can install SM 5 in a BEMANI PC arcade mainboard easyly, that too is a PC.

You may find some of the Functional Upgrades For Cabinets section at rhythmarcade helpful: http://rhythmarcade.com/wiki/custom_setups/functional_upgrades

Specifically, the DDR Machine StepMania Conversion Guide is probably what you're looking for.
