Two things:

First, do not ask for links to to Dreamcast game images. This is forbidden and you can get banned from the forum for doing so.

Second, copying the game discs is quite complicated (I've never done it because of the complication). You have to load DreamRIP on your Dreamcast, TerraTerm on your PC. Set it to rip the disc before you go to bed for the night and hopefully it will be ready by the time you get up (probably not though).

Once you have the game ripped to your hard drive, you'll have to extract the files (some people have stated that even though it gets errors, you can use WinZIP). Once the files are extracted, you have to hack various files, downsample all of the Audio/Video files, remove some files that aren't absolutely necessary (to save space) - such as JAPANESE A/V or text files. Then once you have all of the files hacked and such, you'll need to use the Echelon self-boot tutorial and possibly BIN2BOOT to burn the files to a disc.

If you're lucky, and you did everything exactly so, you'll have a usable game disc. The odds are though, it will take some trial and error and several coasters before you figure it out.
