Did you make the backup or did you get it from somebody else.
The problem may be that when the game was ripped a file that was needed was taken out.
I have ripped the game and it works fine with the save data.

When trying to use gameshark codes for the game you may have problems as the gameshark alters areas of the game. If this areas are missing the game will fail to boot.

hope this helps
