How to play Sound Voltex II: Infinite Infection on Mac

Game summary

The game was released as an online update, one of the first BEMANI titles to do so. Data carrying over from SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH consists of: player name (changeable), scores, clear marks, unlocked songs and play count of songs. There are now hold notes on short buttons (LONG BT) and non-hold notes on long buttons (CHIP FX). FX hold notes are now orange instead of dark green. The song select screen was redesigned to go from a song wheel to a grid of jackets. The INFINITE difficulty is introduced, similar to DanceDanceRevolution's CHALLENGE difficulty in nature. INFINITE charts have a rainbow hue. PERFECT ULTIMATE CHAIN (getting 100% CRITICALs) has been renamed "PERFECT". Similar to its beatmania IIDX counterpart, the "green number" (BPM x HI-SPEED value) feature has been added. Failing songs with charts that have a difficulty rating of 7 or lower will not end your game session prematurely. Charts rated Level 16 have been introduced. Songs are divided into eight categories: ALL (unsorted). BEMANI (all remixed and original BEMANI songs). EXIT TUNES (EXIT TUNES licenses). ボーカロイド™ (all VOCALOID songs). FLOOR (original FLOOR contest songs). SDVXオリジナル (original SOUND VOLTEX songs). 東方アレンジ (Touhou Project licenses and remixes). BLASTER (related to INFINITE BLASTER).
First released: Jun 2013

Play Sound Voltex II: Infinite Infection on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Sound Voltex II: Infinite Infection 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).
