About Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Pokemon Pinball has all the features you'd demand of a pinball game, including bonus tables, lots of bumpers and ways to score massive points. As with your standard videogame pinball game, the left button on the D-pad and the A-button control the flippers with the R/L triggers used to shake the table. The catch here is that everything is themed in Pokemon. Instead of a ball, you make use of a Pokeball. Instead of standard bumpers, you're hitting the Pokeball against other Pokemon, and the ultimate goal is of course to "catch 'em all". The game features 200 Pokemon, two main tables, and link cable support.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire PC port: quick answers

Do I need to own Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire?
Yes. RubySapphireRecomp needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.

It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Aug 2026, and the latest release is v0.0.4.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows.
Is it an emulator?
No. RubySapphireRecomp translates the original game code into native code, so it runs without an emulator.
