• DmdDevice.ini is found like DmdDevice finds it (DMDDEVICE_CONFIG, VPM_HOME, VPinMAME's COM registration, next to the ROM folder) and fills every setting the user hasn't saved in VPE, including the PAC key.
• Automatic selection loads the game's .pac whatever its name when there's a key, and otherwise shows the plain tint instead of falling back to a palette-only pin2dmd.pal (which made monochrome DMDs pale yellow).
• The DMD describes its colorization, tint, imported ini and outputs in the Player's pause menu.

• 241850a dmd: Apply DmdDevice.ini automatically, load a game's PAC whatever its name, and describe the DMD in the pause menu.

Part of the render settings work across repos (all on feat/render-settings): VisualPinball.Engine, VisualPinball.Unity.Hdrp, VisualPinball.Engine.Player, VisualPinball.Engine.Player.Hdrp, VisualPinball.Engine.PinUp, VisualPinball.Engine.B2sBackglass, VisualPinball.Engine.PinMAME, VisualPinball.Engine.DMD, VisualPinball.Unity.Project.Hdrp and vpe-terminator2.

[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge; all previous findings are addressed and no new actionable issues were found.

Summary

The PR adds automatic DmdDevice.ini settings, updates PAC selection, and describes DMD settings in the pause menu.

• DmdDevice.ini fills in DMD settings you have not saved in VPE.
• Automatic colorization picks the newest game-folder PAC when a key is available.
• The Player’s pause menu shows what the DMD is using.

All three previous findings are addressed. No new actionable issues were found.
