As APIs get older, their support may be eventually dropped. With time this can lead to numerous performance and display issues. To circumvent these and allow older games to be played normally, API wrappers are created. They are special libraries, that read instructions of older APIs and convert them to be displayed in up to date ones (like newer Direct3D, OpenGL or Vulkan).
