The arcade cabinet has two screens - one for each player.

The game is played with a controller with one turn table and 5 keys, three white and two black. On the screen you will see bars moving from the top to bottom in columns representing each of the keys and the turntable. When the bars reach the judgement line it is time to scratch.

Many older songs have new ANOTHER difficulty charts, some have a rearranged charts for their ANOTHER charts, making use of the preexisting assets to make a new sounding song.

Crackin’ DJ is a DJ simulation machine where you have to scrach to the music. Your controls include 2 turntables and a fader. There are 20 songs including a lesson tune and 2 hidden songs. One of the bonus tunes is a remake of the « outrun » theme song. The « Beats » fall down in columns on the left and right side. When the beat hits the horizontal line, that is when you start scraching. The music is accompanied by animated videos that are shown in the background. The game is very « ghetto ». Most of the tunes are generic Rap and R&B songs created by « Hiro » from Sega’s music development team.
Crackin DJ was only released as a dedicated cabinet in very limited numbers in Japan. There are less 5 than Crackin DJ machines in the USA as of July 2003.
