Need some advice on burning cd's please

Hi all, I am fairly new to the cd copying game so bear with me if you will. I have unsucessfully tried to copy psx games. I have a LG 8120B burner and have tried using CDClone, Nero, that ADAPTEC junk as well as Blindread/Blindwrite. I have followed instructions for using this software on different websites but still no luck. I have tried to copy TigerWoods pga tour 2000 as well as Nascar2000 and Thrill Kill. I really haven't been able to get to the burning stage with CDClone because the dam thing locks up on me during the reading stage every time. Any help for a Newbie would be greatly appreciated.
