Editing Dance Dance Revolution (section)

===System boards===
''Dance Dance Revolution''<nowiki/>'s hardware has evolved over time, in line with other Bemani games. The first mixes were based on the original [[PlayStation]]'s hardware, with a limited set of subsequent games running on [[PlayStation 2]] based hardware. Beginning with ''DDR X,'' all new cabinets began to utilize standard PC hardware, typically installed with a [[Windows IoT|Windows Embedded]] operating system.

The first ''Dance Dance Revolution'' as well as its followup ''DDR 2ndMix'' uses Bemani [[System 573]] Analog as its hardware. DDR 3rdMix replaces this with a Bemani System 573 Digital board, which would be used up to ''DDR Extreme''. Both of these are based on the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]].

Beginning with ''Dancing Stage Fusion'' in 2005, the hardware is replaced by Bemani Python, a [[PlayStation 2]]-based hardware. ''DDR SuperNova'', released in 2006, utilised a Bemani Python 2 board, originally found in ''[[GuitarFreaks and DrumMania|GuitarFreaks V]]'' and Drummania V''. Bemani Python 2 would also be used in the followup ''DDR SuperNova 2''.

Along with the cabinet change, ''DDR X'' also changes its hardware to the PC-based Bemani PC Type 4. This more powerful hardware allows for high definition graphics{{efn|Except for first generation DDR arcade cabinets.}} and enhanced features. With ''DDR A'', Bemani PC Type 4 is replaced by ADE-704A (ADE-6291 for 20th Anniversary cabinets only), that is still used to this day.
