  5. Re:but... on First Release Candidate of Wine 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Heck, you could say that Dosemu, QEMU, MAME etc. are not emulators. They are merely providing a compatibility layer, so that you can run non-native software. I guess the Winos are arguing that their layer is particularly thin, and decide to draw the line there.
    QEMU and Dosemu have emu in the name, short for emulator, MAME stands for "Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator" therefore these are emulators.
    WINE on the other hand, recursively stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator".
