Because i wanted to play my Pinball games in fullscreen on my widescreeen display with round spheres/balls,
i've tried many different ways to get this working and found a solution (at least for me) based on DOSBox-X.
Now i've decided to share my install scripts with the GOG community, so you could download it here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12kI2E13eftB6mT5aNSEOpIwhFVsvsnRc?usp=sharing

you only need to install DOSBox-X and launch the sript in an empty folder.
(of cause it needs the 3 Pinball games from Pinball Gold Pack to be installed on your computer via GOG Galaxy or Offline Installer)

i't would be great to get some feedback.

Hello , its working.

Tested with Pinball Dreams Deluxe. install dosbox-x before.

First it failed. as i started the cmd. by right click and use "execute as admin"

you need to manually open a console window : Win->Start-> execute-> cmd (return)

change to the directory (outside of program files folder) where it should be installed and the Install Pinball Dreams Deluxe (GOG).cmd file is saved.

i copied .cmd file for example to : "E:\Games\GogGames\Better Pinball Dreams Deluxe\"
type into the console:
e:
cd games + return
cd goggames + return
cd better pinball dreams deluxe +return

or
cd "E:\Games\GogGames\Better Pinball Dreams Deluxe\"

type into the console with quotes:

"Install Pinball Dreams Deluxe (GOG).cmd" + return

push i for install/reinstall, s for soundblaster, n for normal display (x will cartooning/gauss the flipper)

in your folder will be 2 desktop links, 1 for windowed and the other for fullscreen.

it keeps the aspect ratios,
i tested it with "nightmare" table, to check if it fixes the lightly displaced soundeffects, it doesn't.
but good work anyway.

::finally the last console output

Pinball Dreams
Video Mode: 320x350

installation finished.

thanks for testing.
the script should work "out of the box", if not than it may a permission problem with your destination folder?

regarding your sound issues, i did not noticed it. did you also try to use the GUS driver?
If you have Pinball Fantasies installed, the script will ask to copy it to Pinball Dreams and set it up

the last part from the console could be ignored, this is from the "timeout" and the "goto" command.
EOF is simply the end of the batch file, it doesn't need to be explicitly declared but throws this error then.

the main part of this script is to have a correct aspect ratio, if you change the game resolution settings, you will need to rerun the script and choose "S" to create new shortscuts and config settings.
this would not be nessesary if the DOSBox-X team would implemtent a fix for the correct aspect ratio detection.
i've created a github ticket for this: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/3546
