Use CDRWin or CDClone (if you burner is 100% compatable!), if not compatable with CDClone then CDRWin is the one!

From what you described you were recording on the fly and this will only result in coasters when backing up PSX titles. Always create an image file first and then burn after. You will also need to create an image file if you need/want to apply a patch for which Nero is not suitable.

You will also require the PPF-O-Matic patch engine to apply any required patch to the image file created with CDRWin.
