I'm not going to dispute what acidhead says above, but my way is VERY simple and it has worked for me. I still want to make a 1:1 copy someday so I've marked all of what acidhead has said.
I burned a copy of the retail (store bought) disk 1 using nero 5.5, so it's nothing new. I've even installed the game using copies of disk 1 and 2. I KEEP the original jamp.exe file, relpace the jasp.exe file and add the file startmp.exe to the gamedata folder (using the gimpsRus 507KB crack--all 3 of those files are in the same folder).
I can host or join using the copy of cd1 AND the crack. Launch MP from the standard launcher that pops up when you insert your CD (or shortcut). The key is using the ORIGINAL jamp.exe (I think) AND a disk.
I used to have every error that people have been talking about until I installed this crack (the 'cl_packet' error, the 'insert disk 1' error, the 'folder location' error). I've been watching this board (and several others) constantly looking for a working crack and finally tried the small gimpsRus one yesterday.
I am NOT an expert at this, but this did work for me. I hope this helps somebody.
