X2 Wolverine's Revenge GC

[derkiffer1993]

I've looked up other threads on this topic, they haven't helped so i dont know if i'm doing something wrong or what. Basically the game freezes on launch. On Dx3d9 and SI i get a black screen, and with Dx3d11 and OGL i get the very first screen but either way they both freeze before anything actually happens and 0fps. I've tried monkeying around with some of the config and graphics settings, I have the MMU speed hack active, texture cache set all the way to safe, tried running in single-core mode, and even tried PAL and NTSC versions. Nothing works. Is this game just broken and i'm wasting my time, or is there actually something i can do to fix this?
