How to play Super Robot Wars MX Portable on Mac

Game summary

This is the PSP port of the PS2 game Super Robot Wars MX. It's pretty much the same game with some minor gameplay tweaks. Although the game itself isn't too hard, it has improved several aspects of the game, most notably the presentation of attacks which gives the game even more of an "anime" feel than before. This game also has a series list that would please American fans, with 4 featured titles already released in America; Gundam: Char's Counterattack, Nadesico: Prince of Darkness, Rahxephon and Neon Genesis Evangelion. New systems, such as the Double Attack system and Favourite System are also thrown in as Banpresto continue to refresh their series again and again.
First released: Dec 2005

Play Super Robot Wars MX Portable on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Super Robot Wars MX Portable 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).
