Sadly your burner will severley limit your ability to copy any protected pc-cdrom, or psx title.
Why? Because your burner can only burn in SAO-RAW mode. The best is DAO-RAW. (SAO--session at once, DAO--Disc at once, RAW--data not altered by the burner if errors are found)

In essence it means that any cd protection that utilises read errors on the cd for verification (called "digital signature") cannot be burned by your drive.

By all means try CloneCD as sometimes you may get a good 1:1 copy with SAO-RAW, but that won't be very often. Also get ClonyXL as it will detect the protection on a cd and pass the right settings to clonecd.

You shouldn't have problems with unprotected cds.
