Still having no luck making a useful psx back up? Any suggestions?

I have a copy of cdrwin 3.8 A and C with serial #'s I have also tried to copy just as demo and still no luck I also have clone cd and nero burn but I don't know how to patch a copy after its downloaded to the hard drive. Oh I have psx copy 6.2 also and don't know how to patch that eather. One person said to copy with cdrwin and then burn with nero but how do you get the cue file in nero? Well any help would be greatful for. I have also looked at lots of different setting on different sights and there pretty much the same for cdrwin and I have tried I think just about all of them and still no luck. I'm running windows 98 and using a HP 8200 cd writer plus. Theres one other thing how do you know which patch to use? What does NTSC and PAL and the Trainer stand for? I'm in the US so I know I have to use the us ones but I have tried a couple and one will work and the other will say its not the right one for the bin file, but anyways I have not got apsx backup to work I have a mode chip is there a way to check to see if it is working properly?
