Hope you've got this straightened out by now. The rom images indeed go 
in a roms directory for the latest versions of MESS.

To be more precise and to give you more control, .zip archives of roms 
go in roms. Individual .rom files go in subdirectories of roms.

So, for example, the actual roms sub directories would be
roms
     coco
     coco2
     coco2b
     coco3
     coco3h
     coco3p
     cocoe
     dragon64

roms might contain coco3h.zip
but coco3h would contain coco3.rom disk11.rom
