You can configure up to 20 folders to search in. Simply select the folder number from the tabs and then click Browse... to select the folder. Once you have finished click OK and if you have made any changes then FB Alpha will scan your roms.
-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.

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, gg_ for Sega Game Gear game shortnames, and msx_ for MSX 1 game shortnames this prefix should not be applied to the zipfiles the roms are stored in.
