I'm a bit confused over the whole naming issues with visual pinball. My old pinball setup was such a mess, I decided to start over again. I have the roms from this site, and all the tables and screenshots from irpinball.org. But the tables (which, as you all know, come in .zip files) are such a mess. Often, each zip will contain flyers which are not named the same as the table itself, and often the rules, if any, are named something like "readme.txt" or "rules.txt".
With mame, it so simple because the roms have only 1 name, and all additional content (flyers,titles,marquees,screens) are named appropriately and can be verified through clrmamepro. With VP, as is the case with most emulators also, the same tables can be named pretty much anything depending on what site the table came from. So how do people here get the rules, flyers, and screens matched up to the tables? I'm assuming that the additional files should be named the same as the table, is that correct? If so, then shouldn't there be a more standardized method of grabbing matched tables and extras? I'm just trying to figure out how I should go about this. Thanks.
