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?

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

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.

    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
