Mark Perreira did a great job of all of these things and I believe they have
been incorporated into the newest versions of DOS MAME.

In the MAME.CFG file add:

zvg_artwork = yes // to turn on art work (walls for Armor Attack & Warrior)
zvg_overlay = yes // to turn on overlays (colorize the B&W games)
zvg_menu = yes // keeps vm_menu.exe from crashing between games
