I’m a Windows & Linux user on the desktop, but I also have an ASUS Transformer Book. If this all seems like a whole lot of work and effort, my suggestion to Mac users is to just buy an inexpensive Windows 2-in-1 dedicated to updating firmware and other menial tasks. So, until ATMEL release a Mac version of the updater, Godox’s hands are tied. ATMEL is the company who develops the bootloader chip inside the Godox kit and they only have a Windows version of the software. The Godox app is just a reskinned version of the ATMEL updater app. The Adorama app is just a reskinned version of the Godox app. And it would be nice if Godox (and Adorama) could actually support native updates on the Mac, but the problem is, Godox doesn’t develop the app themselves. I’ve experienced this on Windows, too, so I usually test all new cables I get to figure out what devices they do and don’t work with. And you may want to have a few USB cables handy, as they’re not all created equal.

There are some specific procedures you’ll need to follow to get everything installed and working properly, which Ken mentions in the video. Run the appropriate firmware updater for your device.Run VirtualBox and boot the Windows image.Download a suitable virtual machine image from Microsoft.Download & Install VirtualBox (If you have issues with version 6.0, try version 5.2).Download & Install Keka on your mac to open RAR archives (if you don’t already have something).

Download the firmware & updater from the Godox website.It’s a fairly straightforward process, and completely free, although there are one or two caveats and you might want to watch some parts over a couple of times.
