hmm, there are two things I see which could be wrong.
1. the game will still need a ticket to work (tickets are stored in different place, in different files, sometime merged together) and (if like the wii) update of a file to remember all the game you own.
2. you could replace the content/meta folders of another game without installing/registering the ticket and game, this is what Loadiine is doing, redirecting only these files to SD instead of disc, the console see the original game but loads another game's data. but it has not a good compatibility. the savegame would be wrong too without redirecting it
WUP installer is actually using nintendo's official installer. WUP is only a patcher to trigger the official nintendo's installer to look on SD for temporary files to be installed instead of internal place where downloads are located.
then, the console do its thing using official nintendo function to install the "downloaded files from NUS" (internal or SD, the console doesn't know the difference) and register the game, and merge the ticket to the proper place (I don't know how it's decided where a ticket should end) so better let the console install the game officially and properly.
