Isfshax – v5.3

Isfshax – v5.3

๐Ÿ”ฅ isfshax v5.3 is live โ€” and itโ€™s packing serious power-user upgrades! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

โœ… New: `EjectOnly` + Disc Drive Power Control in Fallback Mode

  • Now fully supports enabling disc drive power during fallback โ€” even if `fw.img` is missing or broken.
  • Perfect for testing disc-based homebrew, ISO loaders, or tools like WiiFlow Lite that rely on drive interaction.
  • Works seamlessly with the new “Force Fallback” toggle from v5.2 โ€” no extra hacks needed!

โœ… Superblock Integrity Enhancements

  • Improved bad-block marking logic: now more aggressive at flagging adjacent blocks as “untouchable” to avoid corruption during system updates.
  • Reduced risk of accidental overwrites โ€” especially helpful if youโ€™re dual-booting CFW + stock or testing experimental payloads.

โœ… Stroopwafel Support Refined

  • `wafel_isfshax_patch` now includes runtime detection to avoid double-patching โ€” preventing IOSU crashes on reboot.
  • Works out-of-the-box with latest Stroopwafel builds (v0.8+).

โš ๏ธ Reminder: Still requires an SLC backup & deep familiarity with Wii U NAND internals. Not for beginners.
