I can't get it to display my roms or even be able to select them. I loaded everything into the roms directory in the emu's directory itself. When I loaded it, it showed one of the games and that was it. The next time I went in, there were no games displayed. The menus are so limited within the program that I can't find a way to manually redirect the program to my roms.
Any Ideas?

Surreal is very fussy about where the ROM's are stored. They will need to be placed in F:\ROMS
After that has been done, fire up Surreal and they won't appear yet. Down in the bottom right, there's a button with a curvy arrow in it. Click it. Your ROM's should now appear in Surreal's main menu.
NOTE: If you've changed or attempted to change the ROM directory in any of Surreal's files, just set them back to F:\ROMS and you'll be ok.

at the emulator screen when it boots up i just hit "y" and it updates your rom list.
your roms wont show up until you do this.

Neither suggestion worked. My default rom path is F:\Games\Roms. That is what is listed in the .ini file. I tried putting a couple roms there, and it don't work. I edited the .ini to F:\Roms and put a few there, and it still doesn't work. It also has a roms directory in the emu folder itself. F:\Apps\Emulators\N64\Roms That is where I had the one game appear for one short instant. There was also a .txt file there that said put your roms here. I think in trying to figure it out, I deleted that file. Is it important? If so, can someone point me in the direction to get a new one? My ftp server doesn't have a wastebasket/file recovery.

Alright. I just downloaded the latest version of surreal and now I have my game list. Everything shows up, but when I select any of them to play, I get the loading screen, the progress bar goes up and then bam. black screen.. This happens with any game I try to load.

I have Surreal v1.0, installed in F:\Emulators and ROM's located in F:\ROMS
My Surreal.ini says:
Rom Path=F:\ROMS\
Media Path=D:\Media\
After firing up Surreal and clicking refresh icon in bottom right (curvy arrow), all ROM's appear with their respective box arts. Check which version you're using.
