        I think you still need vpinmame from vpu for color above 4 shades

                The one in all installer does everything correctly – but does NOT include color support like randr said. You need to use Carnys release of pinmame 3.1 to get the colors working again. Everything color and VPM is still considered beta, always has been.

                    You may have missed a freeze dmd location when updating I assume. Make sure  pinmame and freeze dll are installed correctly and no duplicates

                        No but that ajit setting in registry will cause a crash.

                          It is always good to have a backup. I expect you have one so what I would do is. Uninstall VP completely, then run the one in all installer for 10.5 and install it to the exact same path as you had previously. Update pinmame.dll with Carny build. Run setup.exe and press install. Download freezy dmdext. Adjust dmddevice.ini where I disable all “real dmd” and set it to read from registry. You already mention that you used setdmd and that writes to registry so you need freezy to read from there. ( virtualdmd=true and useregistry=true ). Restoring dmddevice.ini and screenres.txt from the backup when it was working might be a smarter choice at this point.

                              https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions – put those files into vpinmame folder – update the ini as mentioned.

                                  Now. Make a proper backup. Actually. You should export registry as well so you don’t need to setup your dmd positions again. The wiki about at91jit explains basic usage of registry. Once you find ‘freeware’, right click and choose export. That file that is generated is enough to restore all the rom settings if for some reason your machine really b0rKz up one day. Call the export eg. freeware.reg and all you need to do IF the worst possible happens is to double click that file. Windows will warn you – like normal if this is really what you want to do. And once you say yes, you are back and good to go.
