Zapper loading problem (Gamecube)

After I beat the first level, the game gets stuck at the loading screen. I'm not sure what kind of problem this is, or what's the cause. Anyone have any suggestions or a newer version of this game?

i checked this games Game support in gamecube section of Dolphin forum,even though they say "There are no reported problems with this title".
one user has reported the same problem as you have encountered,but no solution have been suggested.
But do try using the latest version of the emulator.

I have tried doing so, but to no avail. Do let me know if there's a solution, even a suggestion or idea would be nice. I've already tried reinstalling dolphin and the rom with the latest available versions.

Or can someone just try it out and see if they get the problem? Not sure how many people play it

I have the exact same problem, but no solution, sry.
