I also tried with MMU enabled. It doesn't show the error message, but still freezes dolphin

It might rely on CPU caching behavior or something else not supported by Dolphin. Try loading the code the same way you would on a Wii - via the homebrew Channel and Gecko OS and see if that affects it.

It didn't work; gecko freezes after I press "Launch Game". It happens with and without any code. It also throws an invalid read error. I guess dolphin has issues with gecko too.

I mean it throws that invalid read error when I launch gecko itself. I press ignore and gecko launches. The game freeze has no error; it just gets stuck.

Gecko OS works for me in Dolphin and tons of mods use it for loading.

Gecko OS has a known invalid read problem when using Emulated Wii Remotes.

Umm, what should I do then? I cannot play without an emulated remote. Is this issue being worked on?

What control method are you using?
