I am trying to repack US Call of Duty Black Ops 2 over too EU version now I have set up my meta file correctly and then I realized that NUS Packer is limited to 2GB's in size so I went to the Rednand guide and found a "createmaster" script to use instead but I need to set my Environment Variable to CAFE_ROOT I think for it to work properly, it doesn't work at the moment it wont repack at all, well seems not without doing this I think?. So I am in my Environment Variable box, I presume I then click on "New" what do I then type in to set CAFE_ROOT? I have my code/content/meta folders in my folder with the changed tik_sys.bin file so if I am doing something wrong please let me know some good advice would be great!

In Windows you can also do it per session in CMD. Type PATH=C:\path_for_CAFE_ROOT. Of course you need to provide the correct path for CAFE_ROOT. This method is temporary and will reset when you exit CMD.

I don't really understood why you choose to repack it, the signature becomes invalid and you need CFW each boot. edit meta/meta.xml after install needs CFW only once.

Because its in .wud format you need to unpack the wud and change the region and repack it for install. You cannot install a wud file it has to be unpacked in code/content/meta form with the key to repack there is not an NUS version out there only disc scene release which is what we all needed.

DiscU can do WUD -> NUS since this
You don't understand what I was trying to do. The discu version does not do what I need, you need the key and unpack it to change the region for install all that does is repack from NUS. Its a US Wud originally not an EU, it needs unpacking and repacking for it to work on cfw.

You don't need to change the region for install in the first place.

How do you know that?
It's been like this since Brazilian method came out, foreign titles installs fine, you just can't launch it in home menu, then someone figured you can just edit region in meta/meta.xml via CFW after install and you're good to go, read more about that in my signature link.

do you even know what you are talking about? How can you install a us version of COD Black Ops 2 if 1. you have not got the NUS files in the first instance to install to change the meta files by wupserver to get it working anyway and 2. if you read my comments I need to repack it anyway back to NUS files to install it so I might as well pack it as eu version than not!

Sorry I will take that all back. I never knew that at all, really I missed that completely! I will do it now then and just upload the new meta file on the update. Sorry thanks again.

Do you need to modify the title.key file or leave as it is to install like you have been doing.

I feel relieved. I would suggest you read my signature link, there might be some more you're missing :)

and this if you intend to modify region in meta/meta.xml:

Leave it as is, I actually explained this in that writing.

Really I didnt know I just thought it was the same old discU and could not be done I didn't realize until I double checked the update version from mine. I know how to upload the files thats ok but do I modify the key for install like we have been doing. I feel really bad for having a rant at you, sorry about that!

Thank you, I appreciate your apology, no need to say more "sorry".

But I can't quite understand this sentence, sorry English is not my native.
