i believe winex was written specifically with direct-x based games
in mind.  they have a list somewhere on their website of supported
(and the extent to which they're supported) games.

however, to get a working copy, you have to shell out a monthly
subscription fee (they give anonymous cvs access, but i've _never_
had a sucessful build with it).  on the flipside, the winex development
process is run directly from the feedback of the subscribed users, and
for every subscription you have, you get a vote into what they should
focus on supporting next, which i think is kind of neat.  plus,
subscribers get access to prepackaged binaries (.deb's, .rpm's), which
i've seen work very well first-hand.
