how can i cheat on esr patched pal backups?

hey all.
so my ps2 has freemcboot on it and i have backed all of my games up and they load perfectly after esr patching.

I wanted to be able to use my action replay but it doesnt seem to work for me though
i downloaded this pre patched version of my action replay.

i hoped that would do the job but after booting in and choosing my codes i try to start my games
and even my non backed up discs it...

how can i cheat on esr patched pal backups?
