You will most probably find that the ones you are having problems with are copy protected (lybcrypt).
there are two ways round the problem :-
buy a clone cd compatible writer-this will copy all protected psx stuff.
or "patch" the game file.
A patch to remove the copy protection is applied to the image (cue/bin) that you have stored on your pc,this is then burned in the normal way.
you must find the specific patch for your game and region (pal/ntsc)
ppf o matic is a program to apply patches.
Try megagames.com for more info/patches

ive only ever patched games that have been in bin/cue format,i think u will have to convert em b4 u patch.
its a shame u cant use cdrwin as that is good for burning psx patched stuff .
maybe your writer needs a firmware upgrade,my old memorex didnt work with cdrwin untill i upgraded its internal flash rom (u can upgrade from your pc using a firmware flash utility)
good luck
