Wine is actually quite similar to this: It's not an interpreter or an emulator, it natively runs the executable on the host CPU. What it does is provide the WinAPI dynamic libraries that the programs expect (so they can call functions like CreateFile) and a loader that can load the exe files (PE) into memory and knows where to jump to.
