Well when you installed them the first time, did you leave all the .bat file in the main Live directory? If you did then all you have to do is run the .bat files again.
The other files all had been moved to the update folder or have been written to the .viv files.
Now the new roster just needs to know who needs to be updated.

To make a long story short, just re-run all the .bat files from those 100 patches.

Did you get this?

and there's even a best thing :
compile all your bat files in a big bat file. Then, every time you install a cyberface, don't forget to add the code of the bat file (every line starting by "blotch00") to your big bat file.

How to do it ? That's simple, make a right click on your bat file, then choose "modify". The bat file will be opened with Notepad

Then, every time I install a new roster, I click on my big bat file, and voila, all my cyberfaces are installed

I'm still confused Any tutorial on this matter?

I made a little one before which explains how to make a big bat file :

There are two ways to create a big bat file :

1/ Gather all your bat files from the cyberfaces you've download. Open every bat file with notepad (right click on the bat file and choose "modify"), copy all the lines starting with "blotch00" and paste them in a new notepad file.
Once you've done it for every cyberface, save your new notepad file in your live 2000 main folder with the .bat extension (call it "players.bat" for instance) (make sure that in the "save as" box, you selected "all files" in "type" list)

2/ If you no longer have all the bat files of your cyberfaces, you have to do it by yourself, it took me a long time for me (that's the way I did) but it really worth it.
i looked at my "art\ingame\players\update" folder, noted the name of every cyberface (0LEJAMES.fsh for LeBron James for instance...) then for every cyberface in a bat file that I create with Notepad I wrote :
blotch00 saves James,LeBron 0LEJAMES.fsh
blotch00 saves James,LeBron ir T
blotch00 saves James,LeBron ic F
blotch00 saves James,LeBron co 5

blotch00 saves => call blotch.exe which will change your roster
James,Lebron => indicates the player (no space after the coma !)
ir T and ic F => useful for created players, indicates that the player is not created and has his own cyberface. if not indicated, the game crashes (not useful for player who have a cyberface in the original game)
co 5 => changes the body color to make it match with the cyberface, not necessary if the player has already in the game the right body color. 1 is the brightest.

Then, save your new notepad file in your live 2000 main folder with the .bat extension (call it "players.bat" for instance) (make sure that in the "save as" box, you selected "all files" in "type" list)

Tell me if a point is not clear
