i installed isfshax, and having a few issues.

Hey everyone, quick help needed with a fresh isfshax / Aroma setup. Running into two specific issues:

Controller Sync & Input Issues

Wii U Pro Controller: Pairs and assigns to Player 1, but receives zero input/button response.

Wiimotes: None of my Wii Remotes will sync or connect at all (neither on Wii U menu nor vWii).

USB Partitioning & vWii Detection

Setup: External HDD connected via Y-cable, partitioned with FAT32 (1st) and a second partition for Wii U.

Wii U side: Formatted its partition fine; Wii U titles install and play without issues.

vWii side: vWii / loaders do not detect the FAT32 partition at all.

PC check: Windows reads the FAT32 partition normally (and shows the encrypted Wii U partition as unreadable, as expected).

I have wiiu plugins (or hide USB plugin) configured on the SD, but vWii still won't pick up the FAT32 side.

Any ideas on what might be causing the Bluetooth/controller lockup, or why vWii isn't seeing the first partition? Thanks in advance!

nintendont also does not see the usb drive partition.
