I need help backing up my PSX Games

[GeebsBK]

I'm having trouble trying to back up my Playstation games. I've read all the tutorials and I've tried using every program available CDRWin, CloneCD, Nero, Hotburn.... but it keeps freezing on me when I try to save the image on disc. I have a stealth chip installed on my Playstation, so I don't think I need to patch my games....I have a EIDE 8x/8x/32x Ricoh CD-R/CD-RW RW7083A... Is there any kind of drivers or software or hardware that I need to get them up and running?

Oh btw, I've tried the method of copying the game files from the CD to harddrive, and back to a blank, but it doesn't work.

Thanks for your time.
