Viewer Hackers Edition last updated - 8-3-2023

If using this viewer to connect to the HackTV Mini Server it will connect to a default account that I have setup. If you would like to have your own account watch this video to learn how to edit the SSID for the viewer. https://youtu.be/ki4ChqhAKD0
Recommended: go here and generate a viewer with your own personal ssid http://turdinc.kicks-ass.net:1489/viewergen/

The hackers edition has 20+ years worth of hacks and tweaks most of witch I have forgotten. But I continue to tweak and edit the hackers edition for use with the HTV mini srver. Hackers Edition is also 100% compatible with all other mini servers.

If your using the Viewer you need to run antinat or messenger won't work. Set socks proxy in the viewer under network (example 127.0.0.1 port 1080) or use Viewer tools in the WebTV Viewer Helper.

This viewer has a built in version of my custom build for the WebTV plus.
To access a demo of the custom build simply access file://Disk/Browser/Games/Games.html
Note: some things may not work correctly on the viewer remember this is only a demo!

This viewer was originally used to connect to the Webtv Networks back in 98 and early 2000's it was originally modified by eMac to send out the proper headers to WebTV like:

wtv-client-serial-number: 81xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
wtv-system-version: 16276
wtv-client-bootrom-version: 2046
wtv-client-rom-type: US-LC2-disk-0MB-8MB
wtv-system-chipversion: 53608448
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 WebTV/2.8.2 (compatible; MSIE 4.0)
wtv-system-cpuspeed: 166164662
wtv-system-sysconfig: 3116068
wtv-disk-size: 8006
wtv-capability-flags: 1fee0e1d9b1ffdef

Plus a few other modifications.

Since WebTV is now gone I used this viewer to help in my quest of building a custom WebTV build for the actual WebTV Plus box with a hard drive and the WebTV Echostar. I have left the files here so even if you do not own a real WebTV box you can still use the custom build minus Doom, MAME, and some other stuff .
