For certain reasons such as cartridge hardware circuitry incompatibilities or game memory access issues, some game cartridges simply do not work with certain backup game files. Try a different, newer (or older) cartridge to see if it would resolve the problem. If not, then you may need a patch file to make it work. (see below) There are so many games now and we cannot possibly test all the combinations and scenarios. You might want to go to discussion forum such as www.dextrose.com or www.n64talk.com to ask people about your specific case.
