do you have any other methods to load backups? i pulled my ps1/ps2 out the garage last month and tried burning games and none of them worked. i wasn't sure if it was the brand i was using, my CD/DVD writer, if my laser was just dying or if i was just burning it wrong. Eventually i pulled out my old windows XP pc with a 8x burner and i used a Taiyo Yuden brand and it worked. If you have a way to play backups on your PS1 such as doing the swap method, i suggest doing that to see if it's a issue with your CDs. Eliminate the potential problems and narrow it down until you pinpoint the issue

What speed are you burning at?
Did you verify the burn?
Do burnt audio CDs work?
Which game(s) are you trying to run?

Are you using an NTSC-J or the earliest model of NTSC-U? They don't have the backdoor command to disable region checks, so Tonyhax doesn't work.
