After blowing the dust off my Wii U last week to set it up with Aroma, I now decided to tackle the vWii. Since I hacked it before (many years ago) there wasn't that much to do.
However it annoys me so much that I still can't have both drives (the one formatted by the Wii U and the FAT32 one for the vWii) plugged in at the same time.
On the Wii U side of things, everything's fine now thanks to the AromaBasePlugin. No need to UStealth the vWii/FAT32 drive any longer.
But as for the vWii, there's literally no way to keep the Wii U drive connected while booting USB Loader GX. It would either show the countdown while telling me that no drive was found at all if I have both on an active USB hub (to ensure power delivery) that is on the top back port...
...or freeze at "reinitializing devices" forever, if I plug in the FAT32 drive directly (without any hub) in the upper back port and the Wii U drive literally anywhere else. I tried all combinations.
However as soon as I unplug the Wii U drive while in the vWii system menu so I remain with only the FAT32 drive in the upper back port, it works just fine.
This is how I had it 7 years ago and it's so annoying as I always would have to get up to unplug the drive but the most annoying part about this is: If I ever forget to plug it in again after I'm done with the vWii, all my Wii U games are taken outside the folders I put them in and are shattered across the main Wii U home screen (god I hate this!).
I wrote @blackb0x about this issue over a year ago and he's aware of it, claiming to fix it in the upcoming version r1282:
Nothing really happened since then but I've read here and there in certain gbatemp and reddit posts that people got this working.
So I figured I start this thread to ask how. What is your setup? How did you manage to get this to work?
And before someone suggests this to me:
I'm aware of SDIO's amazing contributions recently but I'm currently not interested in doing the partition thing to my big drive to have only one drive for everything (it probably won't work with my drive anyway) and I'm also not interested in launching GC, Wii and/or Wii U games from my SD card. I would really love to rock the two drives setup.
PS: Here's my SysCheck (unfortunately in german, sry for that)

Hey, yea. It's been a known problem forever, but I've recently fixed it now that I've got my hands on a Wii U
Basically depending on your USBs device ID the loader could mount the Wii U USB device before the Wii USB device, which would then cause the loader (WiiFlow too) to freeze because it's unable to read from the encrypted Wii U USB device.
