With Atari800MacX not fully functional with macOS Sierra and with no guarantees that it ever will be, I decided to make a Wine port of Altirra 2.80. It seems to function just fine. The sound works, USB joysticks work, and the frame rate seems fine so I'm going to start to use it. I tried to attach the file here on AtariAge, but it is over the 50mb limit. I created a DropBox and placed it there: Hopefully Phaeron is ok with that. If not, please let me know and I will take it down immediately.

I hope this helps my fellow Mac users until a native solution appears. I´ve installed Altirra without bottling it, because I use it in combination with eclipse (WUDSN). But for me, Debugging doesn´t work. You´re package looks good, also debugging works, but how can I call it from eclipse? My method using a shell-file doesn´t work with your package. Got it working, simpply had to place my shell-script in altirra.app/Contents/Resources/wineprefix/drivec/winebottler/ and point to it in Eclipse. Thanks for your work.

Overwrite the existing two files. It's simple like that. Don't forget the delete the corresponding Wine-folder in /Library/Application Support otherwise you won't see version 3.0 starting (on my system the folder is called '767'), it's created again on that place after you started the file again. In the spirit of sharing experiences getting Atari emulators running under OSX. I have Atari800 running nativley under OSX High Sierra (10.13.6) with full audio using on a thread elsewhere here.
I also used an automator script to create a launcher icon - which makes it pretty slick. And for Altirra running under OSX I really recommend looking at - it does the same as the above wine wrapper work, but is VERY simple and allows you to associate files with Altirra - so running Altirra from WUDSN etc is simple I use both of these with a command line front end too (Attract Mode) - so these are both very flexible ways to emulate on a Mac right now.
