It's been more than 11 years since it got shut down, time flies Microsoft Windows 98, 98 Second Edition and Millennium Edition are now supported by the website. But we need the updates names and the download links, else the website won't display or download any updates offered. Edited April 16, 2023 by WULover 4
pangoomis Posted April 16, 2023 Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Maybe this will be helpful, it's a collection of updates from SweetLow: (password: 1) https://disk.yandex.ru/d/4phicEdUMARWIQ Edited April 16, 2023 by MrMateczko 1

But we need the updates names and the download links, else the website won't display or download any updates offered. Finally, the WINDOWS UPDATE HAS COME BACK TO WINDOWS 98/ME!!!! (read this in The Rock's voice) Took it long enough... (11 YEARS!?!?) I will test the website tomorrow ASAP (98 on VM, 2000 on real computer). By the way, i would remind you that you shall do some negotiations with Legacy Update team to include V4 on their sites, if you want... We can host our private servers, you know, we already have our domain... I've just gave some facts to consider what is next... Also, you can extract all official (and unofficial) updates in the AutoPatcher for Windows 98. The real thing is rewritting the download links to make this thing working... Still, HUGE freaking congrats to all of those who made this website functional!!!!! Cheers, mates! Edited April 17, 2023 by Dušan Vićić 5

You can be a tester (but join the Discord as we do not publish all files on MSFN). Everyone can participate. @legacyfan You can help by being a tester too, and finding download links and updates for Windows 98/Me in all languages, or translating the existing pages. @mina7601 You can also do that too if you don't want to be a tester.
