I have yellow dog linux and want to try installing wine on it.

Can someone give me instructions on how to get it running? and how to get a windows based game on it running?

Isn't Yellow Dog for Power PC Macs? If it is, you will not be able to
run X86 applications on it. However, if it is for Intel based machines,
disregard what I posted.

Let us know how it works out.

IIRC it re-targeted the PS3. Still not x86 though...

Still need an X86 emulator. Q-Kemu was for PowerPC systems. Might just
work on a PS3. However, if the processor is not super-fast, it will be
very slow.

A PS3 uses an IBM Cell processor, which more or less amounts to a
dual-core PPC970 (plus some specialized coprocessors which I suspect
would not be all that useful in running an X86 emulation).

Dunno how it stacks up against recent Intel/AMD offerings, but
I suspect there's enough raw horsepower there for an emulator to
keep up with a typical Intel/AMD uniprocessor from the era when
XP was released.
