How to play SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS on Mac

Game summary

FX and BT notes, both short and long ones, can now overlap. The FX notes have been made thinner as a result. Analog chains can start from anywhere and not just from the extremities of the chart lane anymore. Analog chains can now extend outside of the chart lane as well. New analog effects have also been added. You can now change the colors of the analog chain lines. There are four available colors: Blue, Pink, Green and Yellow. Both analog chain lines can be set to have the same color. EARLY/LATE indicators for timing judgment have been added. They work in the same way as in the beatmania IIDX and DanceDanceRevolution series. At the song result screen, it is possible to see how many EARLY and LATE "NEARs" you have hit. You can now change the Hi-SPEED value more accurately by pressing the START button twice. The maximum Hi-SPEED value has been increased from 6.0 to 7.0. By pressing the 6 button while holding the START button, you can permanently save your desired scrolling speed (the Hi-SPEED x BPM value), which will be shown in red below the current Hi-SPEED value. Songs can be sorted into additional new categories: SOUND VOLTEX game (BOOTH, infinite infection, and GRAVITY WARS). Cleared songs. ULTIMATE CHAIN cleared songs. PERFECT cleared songs. Charts by individual levels. Portions of certain charts will cause the entire chart to shake, zoom in and out, or be temporarily viewed from above. Each SKILL ANALYZER level now has three courses to choose from, instead of just one. New groups are added every month. SKILL ANALYZER courses can now have Nettou! BEMANI Stadium (熱闘!BEMANIスタジアム) event songs.

Play SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS 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).
