    First thing is first. They are ISOs not roms.
    Once you d/l them you need to unzip or unrar them with WinRAR. www.rarlabs.com
    You should then have a CD Image. You then mount that into Daemon's Tools. google search for it Once you have the image mounted you go to copy CD and copy the virtual drive the image is mounted on. I would copy it onto CD-R.

    I think I remember reading that the Dreamcast will not read CD-RW without hardware modification, though I could be wrong...

    You really don't need Daemons tools (I honestly dont even know what they are).

    Just use Alcohol 120%. It recognizes virtually every ISO format around.

    www.dcemulation.com explains basic burning... no detail on actual games, but it gives you burn settings, what to set, etc. That should be the first place to look. Also, http://dreamlover.tecbox.com/ tells you all about burning.
