during game start-up video and every game state transition, there is like 5-10+ or constant non-stop display mode changes, when running in opengl mode, which is required to get the game not show the hdr blue dot error.

pinball fantasies has similar startup and board change display mode changing issues. at least in both games during game play the display mode stays the same.

pinball dreams does not have functioning left/right shift pads. bump and launch buttons work. less display mode switching on dreams.

Set fullscreen=desktop or a fixed resolution in the .conf file.

As for Dreams keys not working, in the menu press F9 (I think) to edit the keybindings.
