Description

Lets older applications built for SDL 1.2 run through an SDL 2.0-based compatibility layer. This helps classic games and legacy multimedia programs work on newer Linux systems without being rewritten.

Most users receive it as a dependency of older software. It does not add a separate launcher, and compatibility can still vary with the application, graphics stack, audio setup, or controller input.
