That being said, for TT64 it wouldn't be straightforward because the Mac versions of the XTRAs plug-ins that would need to be installed and some config files edited. Also from what I've read publishing a Mac app from the Windows version of Director is a buggy and it's recommended to use a Mac anyway.
[1] And the reality is, the importer doesn't have a Mac version, and the ROM extender doesn't work on most recent Macs because of the lack of intel versions of some XTRAs needed by the extender.
I perfectly understand that Celux has better things to do than to publish a Mac version in this context. If you can forgive me for not taking the time to update TT64 in over 6 years, surely you can forgive him.
[2] I'm still a Mac user and TT64 was indeed created on a Mac, and as a Mac user I can understand that you're disappointed for the lack of an update for your platform of choice, but if someone has to be blamed for abandoning the Mac version, it should be me...
But please let's forget about this and move on. There's a new version of TT64, it's time to celebrate or something! 
And congrats again Celux for this release! (Already congratulated him on YT).
Didn't mean to come off as blaming him or you here, certainly excited at a new release for the SM64 community as a whole.
To address a few things:
1. I'm aware of the importer limitation of windows only, until just recently that I could run windows on my intel mac I pretty much dropped SM64 hacking due to lack of being able to use it. At the latter, I ended up having to use the windows version of the extender and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, guess that explains it! Thought it was something I was doing wrong.
2. Not disappointed at all, just hoping that being that I have a Mac (and so do you) and Celux (maybe) being dedicated to future revisions of TT64, was hoping it could still be done for both platforms. Where there's a will there's a way.
That said, I don't mean to take away from what you've done Celux, very grateful that we finally got the official .6 release of TT64. For now I'll have to stick to windows only for SM64 hacking but if there's anything I can do to assist in publishing it on the Mac end just PM me and I'll do my best.
Once again thanks a lot and congratulations on the release!
