Wine on the other hand has most of Windows' DLLs reimplimented internally so you don't need a copy of Windows. (But if you have one installed it can use the DLLs that it finds there to help itself along.)

It's a partial re-implementation of win32 and related API's. The approach of the former requires a licensed copy of Windows, the latter does not.
The reason some things do not work is that you have to implement more than just the documented externals.

I am a Transgaming subscriber and I play several games with WineX (however I still have yet to get HL/CS working worth a damn on my machine, but I don't play it much anyway, so I haven't put much effort into it).
