How to play Futbol Argentino 96 on Mac
Game summary
This game was successful in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, generating many unlicensed ROM hacks distributed on pirate cartridges using ISS Deluxe as a base. The game was altered so it would match Brazilian teams instead of world national teams. All players names, shirts and powers were altered. The first game was "Campeonato Brasileiro 96". After that, each year a new version with updated players status and teams was released. In 1997, the name changed to Ronaldinho Soccer 97. There was also a version of the Argentinian championship called "Fútbol Argentino 96", the Colombian version of "Fútbol Colombiano 96" and Peru "Fútbol Peruano 97". These hacks also replaced the American English commentary with Spanish and Portuñol.
Play Futbol Argentino 96 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Futbol Argentino 96 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
