Hypothetically, if the Wii U was updated and the exploit which allows WUP Installer, Homebrew Launcher, etc, was closed, would games already installed to system memory/USB via WUP Installer still work?

They act as though they are legit games so they work wether or not the exploit is on. So they should stay even with the update

Are the games installed locked to the one console/account, or can you use the usb HDD in any wii u?
The usb exploit has a ticket that works on all wii u. Not tied to any wii u. (It is using the disc tiket which works on all wii u and spoofs it as eshop ticket so it works on all wii u)

That would be awesome - on the basis I doubt there'll be many new Wii U games now, in theory we could just installing all the best games that are available now to a USB drive, and play forever

This is just my theory. Ninty could check the tickets if they wanted and delete them.

No. The games ticket will work on any wii u if you dumped it with iosu

so the USB HDD with the wupinstaller-installed games will work anywhere?
and the nintendo-downloaded games are console-specific and won't show up on another wii u (or will be deleted)?

pretty sure Nintendo could just look for and delete/blacklist the universally signed tickets, so be careful with future updates

the more longterm/safe solution will be running under emunand for future updates, there signature checks are patched so you can install whatever you want

Plugging a hdd from one wii u to a different one won't work. Dumping the ticket and installing on a different wii u will work.

This, per-console encryption keys, you'd have to get the OTP from both consoles and make a tool to un-encrypt and re-encrypt and even then there's probably still some console specific data on it

I'm also frightened that playing online could ban that particular Wii U console forever, like it does with sky3ds with public header?

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away.
