Absolutely must get Windows version of VisualBoyAdvance running on Mac OS Catalina, sorry I cannot accept "download VBA-M" as an answer for what I'm doing, it's complicated.

What I have to do is make a bundle through WineBottler, but this has consistently been a weird and complicated process and I'd like some help on it. When I make the bundle I get the "Prefix Creation Aborted" window and this log:

###BOTTLING### default.sh
/Applications/WineBottler.app/Contents/Frameworks/WBottler.framework/Resources/bottler.sh: line 39: /Applications/Wine.app/Contents/Resources/bin/wine: Bad CPU type in executable

  • WineBottler contains a 32-bit version of Wine. It cannot be used on recent macOS versions. WineBottler is very outdated.
