What sizes are the images? CDI files contain both game data and error correction information, so even if the image is around 750 MB, it will fit on a 700 MB CD-R. If the game's description says it needs a 90 or 99-minute CD-R, you'll have to find a place to buy one. They are rare, because they don't work in many burners or players, so the demand for them is low.

If you are using a program such as discjuggler (which I use) then there should be an "overburn" option or something to the same extent, which allows the burning of more than the CD is supposed to hold.

For the record, I have burnt relatively large (750 mb+) games, and have never had any need for a 90-99 minute CDR.

That's because an 80-minute CD-R holds ~800 MiB when the EDC data is included on top of the user data capacity.

the oversized burning images are only a matter of "data format" which counts different number of blocks for DC format data than usual FAT32 ou NTFS data data

so don't worry about this and just burn it ! :)
