PS2 backups boot but freeze during gameplay

[gaggil]

The game already loads, goes into demo mode and I can even access the option screens.

The games freeze when I hit new game in winback, and star wars starfighter freezes after I am at the screen where the game is loading and shows your mission objectives. When it says hit x to start it hangs up and goes no further.

At this point I ejected both and closed the tray, both remained frozen.

Thanks for the info, but ejecting didn't help.
