Ok, thanks.

Yes I know that, that feature is very useful and I use it that way of course, thank you for it. But the direct input field would be a lot useful: scrolling a long list searching for the right name is somewhat ugly if you already remember the game name (or if you have a printed list of favourite and working games' long names with their corresponding mame names), so allowing to just type 8 chars into an input field would often save time and annoying stylus' scrolls.
