 **Discovery (2025-12-06)**: Setting `WINETRICKS_FORCE=1` enables reliable speechsdk installation in wine64+WOW64 bottles, eliminating the need for wine32 for most SAPI-dependent games.
 
 **Implementation:**
-- `audiogame-manager.sh:95` - wine32 bottle creation uses `WINETRICKS_FORCE=1`
-- `audiogame-manager.sh:157` - wine64 bottle creation now includes speechsdk with `WINETRICKS_FORCE=1`
-- `.includes/bottle.sh:158` - All additional winetricks installations use `WINETRICKS_FORCE=1`
+- `audiogame-manager.sh:96` - wine64 bottle creation includes speechsdk with `WINETRICKS_FORCE=1`
+- `audiogame-manager.sh:99` - Restores win10 after speechsdk (see caveat below)
+- `.includes/bottle.sh:176-181` - Only speechsdk installations use `WINETRICKS_FORCE=1` (other deps use regular winetricks)
 - Both bottles install Microsoft Mike as the default SAPI voice automatically
 
+**CAVEAT**: The `speechsdk` winetricks verb sets `w_set_winver winxp` at the end, trampling any previously set Windows version. Always call `winetricks win10` AFTER installing speechsdk.
+
 **Migrated SAPI Games (wine64):**

 - Kitchensinc Games - Tested and confirmed working (VB6)

 - Three D velocity - Already configured for wine64, now functional
 
 **Migrated Self-Voicing Games (wine64):**
-- Shadow Line - Migrated, has issues (crashes after launch - needs further investigation)
+- Shadow Line - Migrated, requires Windows 8 via per-app versioning
 - Villains From Beyond - Tested and confirmed working
 
+#### Per-Application Windows Version
+
+**Problem (2025-12-08)**: Some games require specific Windows versions (e.g., Shadow Line needs win8) but with a unified bottle, `winetricks winXX` changes the version globally for ALL games.
+
+**Solution**: Use Wine's per-application settings via registry keys:
+```
+[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\executable.exe]
+"Version"="win8"
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Game installers set `export winVer="win8"` (or win7, win10)
+- `install_wine_bottle()` stores this in `gameWinVer` (doesn't apply globally)
+- `add_launcher()` calls `set_app_winver()` which writes the per-exe registry key
+- Located in `.includes/bottle.sh:186-209` (`set_app_winver` function)
+
 **Architecture Selection Logic:**
 - Games explicitly setting `WINEARCH=win64` will use wine64 (new behavior)
 - Games passing `sapi` dependency use wine64 with speechsdk pre-installed
