Thank you for reporting this issue.
I suspect that when providing libsndio.so.6.1, it may requires other .so files.
libsndio.so.6.1 is available in AdditionalFilesForLinuxAntix.zip of my game B-14 Bird Fortress. The zip archive also contains other .so files required for Linux antiX 23
Could help me with the following:
1) copy libsndio.so.6.1 into Red Balloon of Happiness folder
2) run ./Jim.sh
3) repeat step 1) and 2) for other missing .so files
4) Send me the list of .so files you need for Linux Mint 22.3 so I can add them all to the game.
Upgrading my games from SDL2 to SDL3 was on low priority, but the benefit you pointed makes me rethink priorities.
