Hacking HDD not seen by vwii emulators

[coderasm]

I followed this guide https://wiiu.guide/get-started and this guide https://wiiu.guide/vwii-modding. I also followed this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-definitive-vwii-hacking-guide.425852/ for installing cios 236, usbloader gx and vwii emulators. usbloader gx works perfectly and sees the hdd. None of the vwii emulators see the hdd even though usbloader gx does. The drive is not hidden. Anyone have any ideas?
