With PA 2023 first version now being finished, we will start working on the MacOS version as well. I’ll update this topic with any information about m1/m2 support and/or versions to test.

thanks!

I had existing PA2021 archives on a network share that the MacOS version wouldn’t open. I moved them to the Mac’s desktop off the network share and it still didn’t open. They open fine on PC and another app opened the .zpaq archive and tested ok.

I understand PA for MacOS is new, and I’m not upset or disappointed. I’ve been using it on PC for a year or two now and it works great. Glad to help test. :)

Edit: While the program runs, it won’t open any archives that PA2021 for PC creates and/or opens. I have a few zpaq and a few .pa archives and the zpaq nothing happens and the pa it says it’s not a valid PA file yet it opens and extracts fine on PC.

@spwolf Hi, thanks for getting back. No I am a new customer to the macOS version so I’ve never tried to run PA on macOS or Apple hardware (Intel or Arm).

I’ve downloaded the linked version and it appears to work. It launches and let me start a trial and register it just fine. It even associated with supported formats as well. I’ll test more over the holidays when I can.

I noticed it’s still an Intel app. Will there be plans to port it to arm eventually?

Thanks again!

Hello, by “any”, you mean .pa and .zpaq formats? We do not have same engines in Windows and Mac versions, but we keep adding more and more features. Keep in mind that Windows version has been built over the past 20 years, moving full feature set will take a bit.

There are plans to do arm version in 2022.

thank you!

Latest version crashes instantly on MacOS 12.0.1 on an M1 MacBook Air. I was prompted to install the Intel Rosetta Translation first (which I did). Hopefully a native M1 (arm) port is in the works.

I sent a copy of the crash log that it wanted to send apple to the support e-mail you typed above.

thanks for letting us know, did it work previously with M1 cpu?

There is also latest release, please check it and let us know:

MBP 15" 2016 w/touchbar 16Gb RAM running Catalina. Do I need a new license number for this? I downloaded from the main download page but it won’t accept my activation code.

Cheers.
