erm....what you do is not what I think is correct...maybe a general misunderstanding....
So...step by step...
Let's assume the standard setup (without softlists)....you got a rompath A and maybe a rompath B with stv and megatech roms and the bios sets in it...
fine...let's add software lists...
multi software lists mean, you need to setup system default paths for them...
so you
a) settings->add new empty rompaths Soft_A and Soft_B
b) systems->assign Soft_A and Soft_B to the software list entries for stv and megatech....and rompath A and B to the other BIOS sets (incl. stv and megatech)
c) do a scan...of course the scanner will now tell you that each and any softlist set is not found...since you added new empty paths...if you got scanner/advanced/deeper check for fixable missing files enabled, the scanner will list most missing entries with "missing but fixable".
You could enable fix missing...but faster would be to simply copy all sets from rompath A to your soft_a folder. Since MAME mainly doubles the sets with the software list you see you have to double the sets. So scanning after copying should only list a few issues because
a) the bios sets themselves are not part of the softlists
b) some files (mainly nv files) are not part of the softlists
