1 suggestionBased on available information, there is no evidence that Pioneer has released a native Apple Silicon version of this utility, nor are there clear signs of active development. The latest known version is 1.01.002, and searches have not yielded recent updates or native Silicon support. We recommend contacting Pioneer Support directly to ask about Apple Silicon compatibility and firmware update plans. In the interim, the app will continue to run under Rosetta 2. If you need to update your Pioneer drive firmware and this utility stops working after Rosetta is discontinued, Pioneer may provide an alternative method (such as firmware updates via Windows, or a newer native Mac utility). Monitor Pioneer's support pages periodically for announcements.
