I'm confused and I need help here. How can I successfully get Batari Basic and Visual Basic to run on my Mac? I have El Capitan.

batariBasic can be made to run on the Mac

 

VisualBasic is a Windows only program

I have Wine and CrossOver so it's possible to run VB. But how?!

A lot of programs don't run well in Wine or CrossOver. I have no idea if VB does, but you'd have a lot better results asking those questions in a wine-specific forum, not an Atari development forum.

Basically, the easiest way is to run a copy of Windows on your Mac:

Installed Fusion and a Windows 10 ISO for the easy way out. Now all I need to do is change the colors of the sprites and animate them...
