Most ripped games self boot, you don't need to do anything except insert and start it.
Don't forget, the discs these games are on are most likely over 20+ yrs old now (as is the console) and most are probably stuffed, as in, don't work anymore. Nothing you can do about it except reburn on new discs.
Much to the dismay of many a gamer, CD-R's don't last forever and depending on the quality of the blank discs used, some may still work, some won't.
Or the laser in the DC needs a clean or could be worn out too. Try with a genuine game to prove the system itself is working ok.
