Hey all, hello, first post to the community here. I recently bought a Wii U and walked through tutorials online to install Haxchi (non-cold boot) and everything is working great. I installed USB Helper via the most recent reddit tutorials and downloaded / installed a bunch of games with success by copying to my SD card and using wup installer gx2 to install the games to a powered external USB hard drive.
I ran into issues installing the following (Wipeout 3, The Wonderful 101, Toki Tori 2+, Breath of the Wild). I'm not sure if there was some type of corrupted download with these three or what the case might be, but installing any one of these will prevent the console from booting back to the menu. The gamepad just goes blank, and the TV screen has a small patch of blocky pixels a little above center left area of the screen.
The bad part was that after rebooting (holding down power switch for 4+ seconds to shut off, and then turning back on again) all of my previously installed games were unable to launch and showing "This software cannot be used. The Nintendo Network ID used to purchase this software has been deleted."
I manually deleted my games from the external USB drive and was able to reinstall and play them successfully. Everything works fine except when I try to install any of the four games I mentioned before.
A few questions:

A few questions:
- The games all showed as 100% completed in USB Helper. Is there any way to determine why these failed or how to prevent this from happening in the future? Some sort of check that can be run?
- Was it necessary for me to delete *all* of my games after the corruption, or could I have just deleted the last one that corrupted? (I didn't try this and thought I'd ask for future reference)
- Anyone know of any issues with the games I mentioned, using the downloader in USB Helper and copying to SD inside the program?
- Any tips for preventing this whole thing from happening in the future? (Planning to download and install more titles and hope to avoid this from happening again)
