Go to firmware settings and choose firmware upgrade. Choose upgrade by disc. I think it should work it's something in the firmware settings.

When i boot the ps2 up it boots up like a normal ps2, with the sony computer entertainment screen and all. The only difference is now i can play my backups.

Even if you don't have BootManager installed you can still run backups. However it is recomendded that you do have BootManager installed.

Well i found ur problem. the firmware from the crystal chips website doesn't load backups that's the official firmware u need the hacked firmware. i don't know if giving out links is allowed so you'll have to google it. the latest version is r34 but i recommend looking for jones23 hacked r34 release just put this into google and it should be the first link that pops up it should be from psx-scene.com. put this into google

"jones23 hacked firmware r34"

and burn the .cue file at 4x with the sonys and all should load well and if u need further help feel free to ask again.
