USB Loader GX itself does not handle GCN games. What you
can do is get a separate GCN loader app (Nintendont, DIOS MIOS) and USB Loader GX will allow you to boot GCN games via the GCN loader app but through the USB Loader GX GUI.
I don't own any 2-disc GCN games myself, so I cannot answer your question regarding that.

I use something called Customizable USB loader. Works with every Wii game I throw on there, and let's you download game covers through wi-fi.
Also lets you copy your Wii discs and only uses the space needed for the game. It automatically splits large games (over 4gb) into 2 files.
Maybe you tried USB Loader GX a while back when it wasn't as good? I only first installed the HBC about a year ago, so I haven't used versions of any of the apps that are older than that.
USB Loader GX allows you to download cover art from the net. In fact, you can grab several different versions of each cover, as to fit the multiple display options. And I haven't had any issues loading/playing any of the Wii games I've tried so far.
USB Loader GX will allow you to copy game discs, and you can chose to let it scrub them too. I set my HDD up with a NTFS partition so I don't have to mess around with the FAT32 file size limit or a bastard WBFS format. Games are ripped to .wbfs, but you can use CleanRip to get a 1:1 .iso image if you wish (which is another benefit of using NTFS so you don't have to mess around with split files).
