I have MWF2 up and running using the Zero Gear method and GoDLy's crack ( https://www.mpgh.net/forum/191-call-d...184-godly.html )

I can't join any internet games, but that is okay, I expected that.

I can start a Private Match just fine, but my friends (legit copies of MWF2) can't join me because I am in "Zero Gear Demo".

I can't join my friends' private matches because I don't own MWF2.

I have googled for an hour trying to find a tutorial and since the Zero Gear method is very popular, I thought for sure a result would turn up. However, the only instructions I have gotten look like "4) Crack 5) Play", which isn't useful.
