NL-Stitch Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Reply to all.I have something to say about this project. I am thankfull of those who support me in this project, I really do, but I am receiving a lot of "complaints", and "you should have done that, "this way" " posts.I just want to say, that this is OPEN-SOURCE. This is not "my" project, it is not "your" project. It is teamwork. If you really think that I need to include something (software related) in the end-user version, then please say it here. If it concerns a "method" or choice that I have made for a specific part and you disagree with it, then please, just change the code at the end-user version without having a discussion with me.Remember that this is OPEN-SOURCE.. people have the right to improve what mistakes I have made, BUT they must give away the code.If you think that your improvement makes the pack better, but you want to keep that improvement for your own good, then please, just make a service pack yourself.Please note that this critic is not meant for you all, but those who know that this is true but do otherwise.Greetings,NL-Stitch Edited December 30, 2006 by NL-Stitch
patchworks Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 (edited) Well the, my last suggestion is to keep in consideration the use of a package manager (instead pre-builded iso) to download Jackhammer' suggested software.Check out the ROS' Download ! (and the related 3ad in the forum).HaPpY CoDiNg ! Edited January 1, 2007 by patchworks
RJARRRPCGP Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) The time has come,Maybe you remembered the post a year ago, where I said I wanted to created my own expansion pack to Windows 98? It is finally here!The latest and last Service-Pack you'll need for Windows 98 has arived!Windows: Project Jackhammer was made by me, and is designed for Windows 98 computers.It is a Service/Upgrade pack for Windows 98.It has a new look& feel thanks to the Windows 98 Revolutions Pack, it has new drivers like Nvidia and ATI graphics cards and ...full USB support, it has new software like a new security center and Office Suite. It is almost a whole new OS made out of an old Windows engine.So.. I want to welcome all you developers to the playground. Please download the Open-developement BETA at sourceforge.net, check it out, build you programs and submit them at the project admins @ sourceforge.net!!After the open-developers beta, we will include all your submissions and release the final end-user version.This version can then be download, and used as replacement of your current Windows 98!So.. whipe of that dust off the computer that is laying on your attic, and download it today!Please read the DISCLAIMER & F.A.Q found on Sourceforge.net, before asking the frequently asked questions.For more information about the End-User product: Click hereFor more information for developers check out sourceforge:Click HereThe FAQ page appears to be corrupted. I get jibberish!I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1. Edited January 4, 2007 by RJARRRPCGP
prx984 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 This project looks promising. I've actually been thinking of switching this laptop back to Windows 98, but I was hesitant to do so. This just gave me the motivation to do so, I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Keep it up NL-Stitch!
NL-Stitch Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 The FAQ page was a little bit "buggy" indeed.I fixed it. NL-Stitch

stepcorrectson Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) i recently downloaded this OS replacement called athene. i have been using that OS to build my own environments using XML. i have managed to create 7 OS environments with a boot menu to access each one. Mac OSX, Mac 7.5.5, Kubuntu 6.10, Linux XP, Windows 2000, Amiga Workbench, BeOS 5! has pandora engine SDK packaged inside system. interesting to try out if you plan on making changes to the UI. gives you an area to design, work on ideas, and try new things. XML knowledge a must. Edited January 14, 2007 by stepcorrectson
awergh Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 why do you need all those skining programswouldnt it make much more sense to install Revolutions Pack 7 which has inbuilt theming engine which doesnt have any processes
Milos M. Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 One question ... does project jackhammer has all upgrades and hotfixes that i would need , like for playing battlefield 2 on my win 98 ... if it does ... woohoo ... thanks mate ... but please write response ... thanks
DeadDude Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Dude.Wow.Ignore those lame ......-......s.While I haven't tried this bundle... I support this idea 100%.I will be looking into aqcuiring this and testing...One question, can the files be burned to a DVD?? I'll just check the site...thanks dude! just tell those idiots to suck an egg... This is a giant leap towards what I want to find/make... a bootable live DVD with packages like this included on it...

DeadDude Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Alright, I got this running on VMWare finally... It said to contact the Revolutions creator, the sp2.cab file or something was missing...Other than that, everything seems quite nice...Any ideas how it would work on real hardware, though? I am thinking of using this as a base for a Live 98 DVD, any ideas about this?I would try this immediately on my laptop, if I had the proper drivers already... Awesome job, keep it up! Any ideas if I could just install the revolution pack separately?
NL-Stitch Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) sorry for the delay.. I just thought for a while that the topic was dead... sorry..@stepcorrectson:your software shall be added soon.I am interseted in your software such as the webview etc. that you suggested. please contact me by email (*REMOVED*)@Milos M. :I think so... did not test that yet.@DeadDudeI could indeed put this installation on a DVD, but then it would not be suited for old hardware anymore. And two cd's which are smaller are a faster download as 1 dvd.@MDGxwow.. nice to hear to hear your feedback. I would be glad to include your software and patches@deaddude thank you for trying Jackhammer. keep me updated on your testing @ all!!Erh... now I have a question to you all. I hope you all still love my work. I hope to make it my work some day. I am currently still studying application developement in The Netherlands. I need to have a internship from august 2007 for a period of 20 to 40 weeks. Is anyone interested to do a project with me, or finish jackhammer with me? (I'll come to your country, but I prefer USA since I bin there in 2001) I also hope to post this in the proper forum with a more detailed description.Greetings,NL-Stitch Edited September 23, 2007 by NL-Stitch
