Pinball Dreams & Fantasies on Android @60fps

Since 2011 I've been envious of iPhone owners for having Pinball Dreams and Fantasies ports.

Last year I tried the PSP ports (which I had bought in 2011) on my Android phone with PPSSPP but it had weird gfx artifacts.

Today I tried it again and now it's perfect (screenshot from HuaWei P8 Lite 2017):



Always smooth 60fps while gameplay isn't faster than the 50fps original.
And Pinball Dreams has more colors. It's basically the AGA version that never was.

If you have a 1080p display the PSP's 480x272-resolution scales perfectly to it (1 line on top and bottom is removed).
Just make sure to disable frameskip and enable immersive mode to hide the three Android-buttons and use the full screen height:



Immersive mode must be disabled and enabled again when you restart PPSSPP.

With an Android box or Shield TV and a bluetooth mouse or gamepad you can also easily play this on your big screen TV.

Nice. I'll have a look on both android and raspberry pi.

I also just found out there is a decent ps1 port of fantasies called, Pinball Fantasies Deluxe.

Not bad. There's also Pinball Illusions for PS1 which has the Vikings-table that the Amiga version lacks.

Is it an official release?

It's called "True Pinball" and uses 3D gfx but all 4 tables are from Illusions.

Ah right, you can change from 3D to 2D. 2D mode is not blurry at all.
