You'll notice a delay of a few seconds the first time you do so. Rosetta lets software written to run on Intel Macs run on M1 Macs. There is nothing special you need to know about Rosetta to run Prism under it - just double-click the app and that's it. Prism 9.0.0 runs in compatibility mode using Rosetta on Big Sur on Apple M1 Macs. Prism 9.0.0 fully supports Big Sur running natively on Intel chips. Prism 6 and older will definitely not work at all on macOS Big Sur (and won't even launch).Īpple has begun to transition the Mac from Intel chips to its new M1 chip, which is both more powerful and uses less power (so extends battery life).Īpple also released macOS Big Sur, the next major release of macOS.Prism 7 has not been fully tested on macOS Big Sur, but should work adequately.Prism 8 runs quite well under Big Sur. Known issues can be found here.

Prism 9.0.0 runs fine on Big Sur, on computers using Intel chips and on computers using the M1 chip (running in compatibility mode using Rosetta).Prism 9.0.1 was released on Januand will run natively on the M1 chip.In late 2020, Apple released macOS 11 Big Sur and new Mac computers that use new M1 chips designed by Apple instead of the Intel chips that Macs used to use.
