To boot Paper Mario 64, first delete your save folder (for the USA version of Paper Mario it's the folder User\Wii\title\00010001\4e414545\data) and then boot the game. It'll show the "You need a classic controller" message and then freeze with FPS 0 and VPS 0 but it didn't freeze, don't stop the emulation or close Dolphin, just wait around 5 minutes (the save file is being created) and after that time the game will continue just fine. If you stop the emulation or close Dolphin in the meantime, then on the next boot you'll get the "Save data is corrupt message"...

So, to get Paper Mario 64 working, delete its save folder (if it already exist), boot the WAD, after the "You need a classic controller" message Dolphin will freeze, don't do anything, after around 5 minutes the game will continue just fine... The same occur with Super Smash Bros Brawl for me, Dolphin freezes for around 5-10 minutes during save file creation but after that everything works well

I had to wait five minutes but miraculously, it worked! However it doesn't run smoothly after all.
It's constantly at 85 % and it looks very pixelated. I like it better on PJ64 with the Super2XSal textures.
Maybe it looks better on a stronger PC than mine but in general I guess one should play this game on a dedicated
N64 emulator.
