Junk Yard ROM crashed during gameplay, no more DMD, no ball, sound and flippers working:

This sounds a bit more like an emulation bug as opposed to a ROM bug to me, but who knows. Looks like all of the Junk was collected in that screenshot. Do you remember what happened last before the crash?

The game was in final boring state.
All junk collected, all missions played and repeated dozen times. During a Magic Bus Ramp the DMD gets darker and then turned off.
I´ve had some rare ROM crashes years ago on real tables. Real machines will fast reboot if this happens, TPA seems not prepared for this case. Posted for information only, I don´t believe that a fix is possible...

Sounds like you got the pinball equivalent of the killscreen. That's what you get when you're the #1 player in the world...
