@meso Emulator emulates the underlying hardware, or at least a close approximation of it. Wine doesn't, it just brings the Win32 API reimplementation to target system. It's as different as loading Mario 64 in something like Project64 vs running its decompilation natively on PC.

@mint @meso yep. Wine is middleware.
>Middleware refers to software and cloud services that provide common services and capabilities to applications and help developers and operators build and deploy applications more efficiently.2 It acts as a hidden translation layer between an operating system and the applications running on it, enabling communication and data management for distributed applications

If people can't understand what a translation layer is they should be executed
