PinballY provides proposals for tables pulled from ipdb.org when entering a partial table name in the table configuration dialog. However, there are tables (e.g. 'Baseball' from Bally 1970) which are impossible to pick, because the list of proposed tables is limited and there are too many tables named 'Baseball'. The 1970 table is simply not part of the limited list. This happens quite often with all kinds of tables.
PinballY should either show a longer list of proposed tables or should allow more metadata to be used. E.g. the manufacturer or the year.
Ultimately, many table filenames already contain the table name, the manufacturer and the year. So PinballY could make a default proposal taking this fuzzy data into account.
