Can Wii games be launched in the Gamepad off SD with Wii flow?

[clandestine]

I know USB loader GX does not support launching Wii games from SD. But wii flow does!

My question is, can you have gamepad support when doing so?

Not as of now, no idea if its in the cards at all for future updates either.

Check the latest version of USB loader GX, it now supports loading Wii games from an SD card.

Good to know thanks!

Does the new version of USB loader GX support Wii games on gamepad if launches from the SD card? Or is the best route to inject and install the Wii games to the Wii U HD still?

I've always had the best results by injecting the Wii games and installing them as WUPs, so I will always recommend that method over any others.

No, for gamepad support you need to run it as a VC inject so it uses HAI-IOS, which handles the Disc Drive and controller emulation.
But HAI-IOS isn't a custom IOS, so it doesn't have USB-Loading / SD loading capabilities. Remember it's not the USB loader which handles the running from USB/SD but the IOS. The USB loader is just a interface which tells the cIOS what to do.
If the USB loader would reload a cIOS you would no longer running the HAI-IOS and therefore lose gamepad support

Appreciate that explanation! Makes sense.
