Description

32-bit SDL 1.2 applications can avoid grabbing the keyboard while still using portable video, audio, mouse, and keyboard access. This helps old games behave better in desktop sessions where global shortcuts or window switching matter.

It is a patched compatibility library, not a game launcher. Input behavior may differ from the original SDL build, so test with the specific game or application that needs it.
