There is no need for emulation, because all source code is compiled
for ARM. It is not just taking the Windows version of Quake 3 and
running it on a phone. It has been recompiled from the source for the
phone. Wine was used to reproduce the Win32 API, so the same source
that compiles on Windows could be used for the phone.
