psx to ps2

im new to this mod scene. ive made the free mcboot & added psxlauncher.elf to my exploited memory card. now my problem is i cant get games that i ripped thru internet sites to burn to a cd. ive used 3 different tools, (imgburn, clone cd, & alcohol 120%). i cant get anything to work. im using an hp pavilion (vista) & using verbatim cd-r.

Are you holding down R1 as you power it on?
Did you block all 3 sensors?No to any of those and there's your problem.
