You obviously don't understand the point of Wine.

Games aren't "implemented into" Wine. Instead, you run them unmodified,
directly inside Wine. If you have the source to the game, you can build
it as a "Winelib" application, but it doesn't really become part of Wine
itself.

In short, Wine is not a game emulator. In fact, it's not even a Windows
emulator. It's a Windows *compatibility layer*. There's no need for CPU
emulation, because it runs programs natively on your x86 processor. All
it does is sit between Windows programs and the OS, allowing them to run.
