The last ten folders (numbers 11 to 20) are special supplementary cases. Usually FB Alpha will take the first file for a rom it finds and ignore any in the later folders. Any files placed in the last ten folders will be searched as well as the first file found. So, if you have some roms that require extra files than that found in MAME (the Neo-Geo bios is a good example), then you could put the extra files in ones of these folders.

It is recommended to put the console (Megadrive/PC-Engine/Sega SG-1000/Colecovision/Master System/Game Gear) games in one of these special paths to prevent conflicts. Although, internally, FB Alpha uses an md_ prefix for the Megadrive games shortnames, either a pce_, tg_, or sgx_ prefix for PC-Engine games shortnames, cv_ for Colecovision game shortnames, sg1k_ for Sega SG-1000 game shortnames, sms_ for Sega Master System game shortnames, and gg_ for Sega Game Gear game shortnames this prefix should not be applied to the zipfiles the roms are stored in. This means you can point some of the supplementary rom paths at your MESS software list folder(s) for Megadrive, PC-Engine, TurboGrafx 16, SuperGrafx, ColecoVision, Sega SG-1000, Sega Master System or Game Gear and you're done.
