Where can I find older versions of wine?

I just installed wine 1.0 rc4 on my Arch Linux desktop. However, I can't seem to get many programs or games working. I remember using wine 0.9.59 for ubuntu and that worked much better. I got wine 1.0 rc4 from here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16531
But where can I find older versions of wine, in particular 0.9.59. Or maybe I'm just doing something horribly wrong with this 1.0 rc4 version?

Btw, I'm using 64-bit version if that makes any difference?

And I need to know, how do I uninstall the current version of wine I've got installed, wine 1.0 rc4?

Check to make sure 1.0-rc4 hasn't screwed up your settings, like pixel shaders etc.

Compile the older version if thats what you want, your using arch so im assuming you have an idea how to do it.

Ok, I sort of got Wine to work better now. It seems like I have to run it under root. Why is that? I want to use it with my normal user...

I tried firing up Half Life 2 which worked great with ubuntu, but now all the graphics were totally wrong, stretched and I basically couldn't see a thing.

Any idea as to why? I'm using 169.12 nvidia drivers and I've got 8800 Ultra. This worked great using ubuntu with the same drivers. A picture of the menu to demonstrate:

need to install the tahoma.ttf in the wine windows fonts folder.

Also, try running in DirectX 8 mode with -dxlevel 81. In steam right click tf2, properties, set launch options, and type in -dxlevel 81. That should fix any graphical errors as wine dx8 support is pretty solid.
