Oh hey, a rhythm games thread. Love the genre, my senior thesis in university was building a rhythm game and I actually worked at Harmonix for a year with credits on Rock Band 4 and Amplitude.
These days I play Stepmania a decent bit, but I unfortunately am using a softmat as I just simply donāt have the space to store a nice, actually usable dance mat. 
I also play DJ MAX V a decent chunk, though itās been a few months (I should get back to thatā¦).
Iām immensely curious about that Saturn Parappa-like, and kinda want to try and get my hands on a copy. Wish I had seen this thread before I was in Japan, haha - maybe I couldāve found it cheap enough. Speaking ofā¦ something truly magical about playing Taiko no Tatsujin with working drums. Iāve never once had the pleasure of playing it in a US arcade and not feeling like Iām fighting against a broken drum padā¦ so to experience playing it a Japanese arcade was delightful.
Anywhoo, I could ramble on about a variety of thoughts and feelings about a variety of rhythm games but for now Iāll just say Iām glad this thread exists and that I found it.

from what I remember, there should be pre-patched isos out there to get around the copy protection? itās been a while since I played those, but I think thatās what you need to look into
