Here is the latest version of UltraDMD,  Which was updated by Tom Speirs from the pinballx website
I have it Installed in the Visual Pinball Folder  -- Visual Pinball\UltraDMD  (Still has the same version number)
https://www.gameex.info/forums/files/file/2495-ultradmd-installer/
Real DMD -- If you stay with UltraDMD put a copy of DmdDevice.dll & DmdDevice.ini in your UltraDMD Folder

 

You may not be aware of it but there is also a replacement for UltraDMD  (If you're not sure then stay with UltraDMD)
You can have FlexDMD only control FlexDMD tables or have it also control UltraDMD tables
The UltraDMD tables will work with FlexDMD without doing anything to the UltraDMD tables
Basically with the improvements In flexDMD sense it came out, You really only need to use the scripts that come with FlexDMD if the table don't have UltraDMD

 

If you're not sure about changing to FlexDMD then stay with UltraDMD for now or
You can install FlexDMD and still use UltraDMD by only registering FlexDMD
 

UPDATE: If you're going to use FlexDMD to control UltraDMD tables there is no need to have UltraDMD on your system :UPDATE
But leaving it sit on your system will not manner
I recommend installing the latest version of UltraDMD If you're still going to use it
(Available with new version of UltraDMD), If you stay with UltraDMD and the DMD is Hidden run this bat File -- ConfigureUltraDMD.bat
