For Playstation games you had to get one of the nicer-quality CD-Rs and burn it at a slower speed than usual. Also I remember I got a replacement disk drive cover for my PS2 that allowed you to pull it open with a hook. I'd boot up the console with a legit disc, then use the hook to open the drive without the console knowing and swap in a pirated disc.
