How do I run Metroid Prime dol file?

So I'm trying to install the widescreen hud mod for Metroid Prime and it says to unpack the iso, then run the dol file but it doesn't seem to start the game. The game runs if it's just the iso, without unpacking/extracting the files of the game to a new folder. However, when I unpack it then click Open> then select the dol file, it never loads up the start screen it's just a black screen with the yellow text. The game only works in dolphin from running it with the packed iso. Also, if I try to use gamecube iso tool to try and make it another iso it will tell me "file not found sys/boot.bin. Even though Metroid Prime doesn't seem to have a boot.bin file.... Only a client_pad.bin file in the directory of the unpacked game. I would really appreciate any help Smile

Update to the latest development version of Dolphin, then re-extract the game using that version of Dolphin. Loading extracted ISOs in older versions like 5.0 works rather differently.

I'm running the latest development version of Dolphin version 5.0-8381. I tried updating it and extracting the game again in case Dolphin wasn't updated but the dol file still loads as a black screen.

I got it to load the starting logos by adding the apploader.img in the ishiiruka dolphin but it freezes before it gets to the main menu. It doesn't work at all on the development version of dolphin.

Oh okay, sorry. I assumed you were on 5.0 because that's what your profile said.

I wonder what might be wrong then...
