How to play Pop'N Music: Disney Tunes on Mac

Game summary

Disney Tunes is one of the many titles in Konami's long-running pop'n music rhythm game franchise. Notes scroll toward the bottom of the screen along nine tracks, and the player must tap the correct buttons in time with the music to play along. Play well, and the "groove meter" increases, but play poorly and it will drop. If the groove meter is high enough at the end of the song, the player can move on to the next song. This release is a straight port of the arcade version Mickey Tunes, and includes a selection of popular songs from Disney's vast catalog of animated films. The game itself is built off of pop'n music 4, and features the same selection of game modes.
First released: Nov 2000

Play Pop'N Music: Disney Tunes on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Pop'N Music: Disney Tunes 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).
