Have you turned on the No disc option on the DM Booter? Could work with that option turned on

Yeah, custom paths. The path for Gamecube games should be set to usb:\\games. Lower left corner.

USB Loader GX just had the same issue - apploader size is zero. I got it to recognize the game, though.

EDIT: Holy fuck I lied, it just took 50 hours to load. Jesus christ, thank you all so much

As a general rule, is SD or USB faster loading? The load times are absolutely terrible right now...
I'm guessing your ISO probably isn't as nice and straight as you think it is. :/ You shouldn't be getting apploader errors. Try finding a different one?
Could you possibly recommend a way to rip the original disc on Mac? Or PM me something even? :)

Try this homebrew app; it should let you rip your own disc directly to your USB or SD or whatever.

I haven't used it personally so I'm not sure how much help I'll be with it if you run into any problems... hopefully it's fairly straightforward to get it working right.

Yeah, sadly I only own 2 wii's. One launch console with a broken drive, and another Super Mario Bros which doesn't have GC controller ports... would that still rip the game? And again, is SD or USB usually faster?
Uhh, I don't think you need a GC controller to rip it...

I don't know whether SD or USB is faster, it generally depends on the SD card or USB device. I've personally had better performance out of USB, but if you have a good SD card you might find that to be the other way around.
USB is, in general, faster
Ok, my USB drive must be fucking arse then because load times for each door are legitimately upwards of 15 seconds lmfao.

And yes you don't parax, but it DOES need to be able to rip the games... I don't know if the newer console is compatible with GC games or not

OK, finished my script!!

http://www.mediafire.com/download/yhh2h6jp8wy2qdv/MP_Randomizer_Script_v0.5.zip

There's none of that folder changing, moving files around bullshit now, just run through the steps in the shell and everything will work out. I tested it in Dolphin and everything worked out, randomizer included. I've also included a little tool for skipping the Space Pirate Frigate like Paraxade had mentioned as well. That too, worked just fine. Just fyi, I ran this in Windows 8.1, but it should be good for any Windows version.

I'll check how it runs on my console, too.

One thing is that the script does not do any form of error checking, so make sure that you label the iso "mp.iso" and follow the steps and all that jazz.
Doing some searching around, I found this. 'With NMM enabled (and using a shrunk iso), doors take a very long time to load, scanned items do not show description, and audio glitches abound.'

This is literally exactly my issue.The only thing is, I don't have NMM enabled and I'm not (?) using a shrunken ISO. :/

Wiis that lack GC controller ports are physically unable to read GC disks since they use a different disc drive.

That is what I thought. Any idea on the absurd load times & audio skipping I'm experiencing is happening? Is there newer IOS's I should be using?
When I try to open the PakTool it says the program can't start because I'm missing  MSVCP100.dll  is missing from my computer.

Honestly, it still sounds to me like the problem is you got a bad ISO. You should look into finding a new one or ripping it yourself. (Not sure how you would do that specifically, but you could hopefully find some information on Google...)

btw, i ripped my own iso and loading was still rather slow. i think the real issue is the programs themselves since these programs don't seem to handle loading very well. (i wish devolution let you play games without verification since that's the only loader that loads gc games fast)
Phendrana - Ice Ruins East (Behind ice) - Missile Expansion - Ice Beam
Phendrana - Phendrana Shorelines (Behind ice) - Missile Expansion - Wave Beam
Mines - Metroid Quarantine A - Missile Expansion - Boost Ball
Mines - Central Dynamo - Power Bombs - Plasma Beam

This randomizer hates me

It's not so much that it's 'rather slow', it's literally taking upwards of 2 minutes to load a door... basically the game is unplayable
If you had Spider Ball you could have still gotten Ice and then gone from PPC>Central Dynamo
Phendrana - Quarantine Monitor - Missile Expansion - Spider Ball =/
Assuming SpaceJump, could have gotten it. Assuming grapple, also could have gotten it. Failing all else, could have wall crawled
And then would have been permanently stuck in Quarantine Cave with no Wave Beam to open any of the exit doors.
Ah shit you're right haha
