At $80, and likely an ARM processor, emulators have a larger game library. Wine doesn't work on ARM, and there are relatively few open-source games that stand out.
You'll be delighted to hear that that's not entirely true - there is a Linux x86-on-ARM emulator Box86 [1] that allows you to run Wine apps [2]. While your expectations should be realistic, it's made to defer as much as possible to platform native implementations so there's a bunch of things you can run!

Have you had a different experience? If so- what have I been doing so wrong? I’d love to get it to work on a Pi.
