Ok, figured out how to get it to work and avoid all the read/write errors that appear when loading into gameplay. This game last worked (perfectly by the way) in r5691 and oh what do you know, it was Ayanx with those Fifo changes that broke it. Go figure huh? :)
r5692 definetely broke this game and hopefully his regression can be addressed properly. Let me know what more I can provide!

So how did you get it to work???
I tried r6591 and it had the same issue!
it works on V2 but at like 24-30 fps while NSMB works 60 FPS

r5691 definetely works just fine. I downloaded it, unzipped it and immediately opened Dolphin and launched the game. Enters gameplay just fine (no read/write errors). It was the next commit's changes that definetely broke this so I don't know what you're doing wrong.
The speed is about 50% and I can run everything on Dolphin full speed. So hopefully, someone fixes the issue so we can play it on current versions and hopefully in the last 600 revs, something was done to give it playable speeed.
I hope it's an easy fix!!

Though I just found out that using the r4716 build from Spellforce, you can get full speed!!!

Why the hell is this version so fast and why can we not adopt this for current versions????

I'm running Dolphin svn 6218. The menus work without music, but the game crashes in the load screen when you try to enter gameplay. MMU / BAT hacks don't help. Dolphin developers have anything to say about this issue?

It seems that most developers don't know much about fifo and are afraid to touch it since changes to it can easily break many things. That's what i understand from all the stuff i read in the past about fifo changes. So i wouldn't be optimistic that this might be solved any time soon, at least it works decent in past revisions with the watchdog hack.

Here's my thread over at the main forums. It contains current up to date info about the versions this game runs best on.

I made a quick fix to get this game working in r6285.
