This is the latest available version.There is also the older official version 5.0.6 of VBox on Herwig's page.
Not sure, what do you need for "AMD Ryzen G" processor. Never had such processor. And I doubt
that other VBox versions are available. The required dependencies are described here:
PS: Why do you need the version with all the dependencies? Manually picking all versions of all required
libs is not recommended because it is tricky and causes library versions conflicts, which can cause problems.
It is recommended to have a single version of each library in the system, to avoid situation, when different
programs want different versions of a library, and thus, crashes happen. Also, having a single library in the system
consumes less memory. This is very important on a 32-bit system, which is limited with the < 4 GB limit
of its address space. To achieve this, there is a package manager, like yum. It should care about all
dependencies, updating each library to the latest version, and all programs being dependent from the
same version of each library. So, why not just use the package manager as it's designed?
PPS: For AMD Ryzen processors (not sure about "Ryzen G"), Arca OS kernels was not known to work/boot
ok. Though, on unofficial OS/4 kernels, there are some users which had successfully using OS/4 kernel
with AMD Ryzen processors (though, I'm not sure about what Ryzen variants they are). But it makes sense
to contact OS/4 developers and try being a tester. Also, as a bonus of an OS/4 kernel, you'd have a
possibility to use hardware virtualization (AMD-V/VT-x) with OS/2 version of VBox. This is an unfinished
feature, yet, but it is mostly working. I am even able to run OS/2 guest on top of OS/2 host.
