#### Roxor Games (In The Groove)
Around 2004, Roxor Games came out with In The Groove, a game designed to adress the stagnation in the dance game marketplace. Roxor contacted the authors of the open-source StepMania game, and were able to get it relicensed. They partnered with Andamiro to produce a line of arcade cabinets that featured StepMania in a 4 panel configuration, with new songs and features.

Additionally, they produced a line of upgrade kits for existing Dance Dance Revolution arcade machines. This led to a lawsuit for infringement of design patents that ultimately bankrupted them and led to a settlement in which Konamy received all rights to the In The Groove intellectual property.

The ITG-IO, unlike the hardware produced by Konami is designed to be cheap. By using commodity desktop computers, they were able to position themselves as a very low cost upgrade. RF emissions were high, and the lack of a common ground between the PC and the arcade power supply would often lead to problems, but for arcade owners facing dwindling returns on their hardware, it was a cost-effective solution.
