Newer version of Wine?

Just wondering if it's possible to get a version of Wine newer than 5.0 for Boxedwine. The application I'm trying to run, Pokemon Uranium, crashes with a black screen on all versions of Wine prior to 6.1.

Here is an alpha build that includes Wine 7 on Windows x64. If you wanted a different platform, sorry, I haven't worked on them yet.

Wine 6 made a big change that affected my emulator. It now uses shared memory to communicate some information between the wineserver and clients. This required a pretty big change to the cpu emulators I have created.

Its pretty close to working, but some things are still broken which is why I haven't released it yet.

FYI: I don't know much about that game, but newer games may not have much luck with Boxedwine.

Real life has prevented me from working on Boxedwine lately. But I look forward to getting back into it in the next month or so. Wine 7 is what I plan to finish next, so with a bit of luck, hopefully it might be out early next year.
