So I dusted off my WiiU and updated my vWii softmods (last time it was touched was 2018). I acted a bit rashly and updated everything before even confirming if things were working in their previous state. I've updated d2x cIOS to v11-beta1-vWii (base 56,57,58 to slots 249-251 as recommended). My HDD for vWii is the same HDD I use for Wii so it already had GX updated to blackb0x's latest version and working properly on the Wii, just never tested on the vWii. Unfortunately now my HDD is not recognized by GX.
Here are some other things to note:
-This is the same HDD that was working on my vWii previously, it still works on my Wii, and I know 100% it is formatted properly
-HDD is detected by HBC, and can be used to launch GX
-I use a Y-cable on vWii for extra power to the HDD (standard cable works fine on Wii though with same HDD), y-cable still works today and can power another HDD just fine (formatted for use in WiiU mode though, not vWii), so for these reasons I don't think the issue is likely to be HDD or cable related
-I reinstalled d2x v10 beta52 which made no difference, I've since reverted to d2x v11 beta1
-I tried installing base 57 to slot 249 as was previously recommended years ago, made no difference, since reverted back to base 56 in slot 249
-I tried adjusting the meta.xml ios and bootios arguments, but I'm just guessing at what to change (I did remove the comment lines)
So basically all I updated was GX and cIOS and now the HDD isn't detected anymore. Any ideas anyone? I'm really not a vWii expert so any help would be appreciated. Thx!
edit: solved, see below

Code:
<!-- remove this line to enable arguments
<arguments>
<arg>--ios=249</arg>
<arg>--bootios=58</arg>
<arg>--usbport=0</arg>
