In 2005, Konami sued Roxor for it's distribution of "upgrade kits" which allowed anyone to upgrade any Dance Dance Revolution cabinet into an In The Groove cabinet. These "R21" enabled machines allow players to plug in a USB drive into the machine and transfer their custom-made or downloaded tracks as well as save scores to their on-stick profile. ITG2 runs on a DDR-derived, open-source program/engine called Stepmania and is, to this day, still extremely popular in arcades for it's ability to play custom songs through a free-release patch. While they distributed first-issue ITG2 cabinets, Roxor partnered with arcade distributor Anda Miro and would revise and improve their second-issue machines. In the Groove 2 is a dance/rhythm arcade game made by Roxor and is the sequel to 2004's In The Groove.
