I tested some additional adapters.
The older Mayflash Magic NS v1 does not work for me either does the Brooks Wingman XB2 since I had these lying around. They do get proper power and allow pairing though.
Not expecting these to work but saving people the trouble.

Does anyone have a USB-UART and any interesting USB controllers/steering wheels?

I have steering wheel Logitech G29 for PS4. I will get a USB-UART coming soon to get logs and send to you.

Everything's been working great until I tried VMU Emulation. Controller is always working from the hub - however, the VMU has only showed up twice. Tried different hubs and flash drives to no avail. The flash drive has vmu.bin on it and I can open it up on emuexplorer.exe. Perhaps the detection part of the firmware needs looked at, idk?

I started testing vmu emulation and noticed one feature: VMU will not work if the flash drive is inserted into the hub before the controller.
if a flash drive is inserted into the first port of the hub, and a joystick is inserted into the second port, then the vmu does not work, you need to swap the usb and everything starts working.
try it, maybe it will help you

Could vmu emulation work with just a flash drive and no controller or hub? Would be great way to backup saves to a pc and vice versa.

So I noticed Y-axis inversion is enabled by default with this adapter. Shouldn't it be disabled? Most games have it disabled by default so I have to go into the settings and enable it to disable it. lol

Rumble using wired Xbox 360 controller:
Motor 1 & Motor 2 test OK with or without a hub on 240p Test Suite.

Playing 4 Wheel Thunder:
Rumble works direct connection.
With hub no rumble.
