How to play Magical Drop DX on Mac
Game summary
Magical Drop DX is a mobile game released exclusively for Japanese mobile phones by G-Mode. It is based on Magical Drop II with elements from Magical Drop, more particularly, their Super Famicom ports (most notably the title screen and the background used for the 1P vs. CPU mode).
As part of G-Mode's initiative to preserve their feature phone games from the 2000s, the original version of Magical Drop DX was ported to the Nintendo Switch as the 19th game in their G-Mode Archive series.
First released: Oct 2004
Play Magical Drop DX on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Magical Drop DX 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).
Magical Drop DX installation steps for Mac
Step 1

Step 4
