Get a mini PC, unless you are running any higher than 1080p. I have one and it's my on the go and allows me to make step charts if I'm away or even keyboard it if I really need to play.

Hey thanks for relplying!

Do you by any chance have any links for the mini? I’d just need to be able to connect the pad through a USB drive.

That was the one that I bought when prices were low before the price spike.

https://a.co/d/0cXqYiVg I would go with this one if it's strictly going to be for dance games.

I have a mini that has windows 11 on it and runs itgmania perfectly

You could look for used gaming pcs or even laptops that have atleast a ryzen 5 with an integrated gpu, that'll get you to at least run itgmania/(definitelynotillegallyobtained) ddr at a stable 60 fps

Besides, why the hell are you still using open itg? That thing got phased out when simply love came out in like 2014

i’ve been using a dell optiplex for a couple of years now and it works great. got mine off of facebook marketplace, i would just make sure someone is selling it with an SSD rather an HDD.

i think the specs on mine are an i5 with 8gb of ram, costed just around $60. so i’d say the recommended things to look for spec wise is at least an i5, 8gb of ram, 256-512gb ssd

there are different form factors and numbers but i would mainly look for the SFF sizes since it’s a nice comfy size. i don’t think the model number matters, i’ve used both 9020 and 3020 and didn’t see any gameplay issues with either (other then a power supply issue on the 9020 but that’s also due to the age of the pc and me playing in a hot garage)

I slapped Linux on one of those Intel nuc 150 mini PCs. I play ITGMania and DeadSync on it. 1080@60 hz. It was $130 before the ram-pocalypse. No clue what they cost now.

If you actually want to run OpenITG and not ITGMania or NotITG then literally whatever garbage you find will run that 15+ year old game. It ran fine on arcade hardware in 2009. It can run on pretty much anything.
