VPinMame DMD's - Lost their dots ???

[TT11]

I have come across a strange change to my VPinMame DMD's.... - All of my normal/regular non-coloured (so not Freezy, not PAC and not Serum based) DMD displays  seemed to have lost their dots.  E,g. when I use 'F1' to bring up the VPinMame window, the '0' intensity settings used to show background dots if I set between 8 to 15 , but now looks just like a blanket colouring - It's lost the background dots.  The 66% and 33% seems to still contain dots.  When I switch to 'Use Externall.dll' DMD's (the Freezy, the PAC and the Serum) still look fine.  Is there a particular setting in DmdDevice.ini file that would affect regular VPinmame DMD's dots?  I recently updated my DMDText to 2.3.0 but this was happening before that update....

1st pic = what it used to look like (my preference)

2nd pic = what it looks like now

Might have found a workaround (sort of)..... This issue seems to have started with VPinMame 3.6 v.1122.  Going back to VPinMame 3.6 v.992 fixes the issue.  Should I raise this on Github?

Raised this via Github and was kindly sent 3.6 v1159 to try out. Unfortunately, it (sort of) fixes the 0% intensity issue but seems to create more issues with the look of other dots that use the 33% and 66% intensity settings.

Nicely this is totally fixed using another BETA known as 3.6 v.1160.  All intensity settings work as they once did.  Excellent work by the development team on VPinMame.
