image files should not have extensions! e.g. if you have a disk image lets say "puzzle.st" rename it to "puzzle"

you are wrong Elefas. I have mine with extensions (.MAS and ST) and they all work well.
make sure they are not zipped. You also do not need DiskB anymore.

I think it has something to do with the tos version. I tried using US version 1.04 and US version 1.02 and US version 1.6. I don't have a UK 1.04 version. All went to a black screen after selecting the image file.
Then I burned a CD with emutos on it, and after selecting an image, it went to a blank screen with an image of the ST keyboard slightly overlapping the bottom. The game would not load. It just sat on that blank screen. I am building up a pile of mini frisbees, but I don't care. I really want to play ST games on my dreamcast and I thank the authors for providing this emu. I just hope I can get mine working.
Can anyone verify whether it will work with US 1.04 or any other US tos version? Also, can anyone verify whether it will work with emutos? Is there a UK version of Emutos? I saw different languages, but only one English version.
Thanks for any help.

i already had all my images without the extensions and its still not working ( also uncompressed)
might be the tos, although i am using 1.04 UK, which is the one told to use
hopefully the authors will release another version soon that is a bit more stable

Me too but I was using DCHakker apparently thats not the problem but the version of the TOS? Doesn't hurt to try with other versions, removing the extensions sounds intriguing too!
