No jacksons?

Yep! This is a deck without that card.

If archives access is desperately needed, my only option is to overscore Vitruvirus. I can do that pretty easily, but so far I haven't needed to.

If I don't have any Pop-up Windows, what would be a good card to substitute for them, maybe an Viktor 1.0 or Hudson 1.0?

Do you have Minelayer? It fills a similar role as Popup Window, providing you with clicks and credits every time the runner passes through it.

This deck doesn't have a good way to profit from Hudson, but Viktor 1.0 is always a good choice. I'm experimenting with running him over 2.0 actually, since most of the time their function is the same: cost the runner 2 clicks.

The other nice thing about Viktor 1.0 is that it draws out a code gate breaker. Since Tollbooth is hard to get through even with Torch, and your dangerous ice are sentries and barriers, forcing them to waste time getting their decoder is a good move for this deck.

Yes, I have Minelayer, would it allow you to not forfeit an agenda as a cost if you choose Archer? Then, should I run a Cell Portal from Jinteki core set, in order to force them back out? Maybe a 2x Minelayer, 1x Cell Portal? That leaves us with 1 influence left, so we would be good there.

Minelayer only installs the ice, Priority Requisition and Domestic Sleepers are how you rez Archer.

You would want to put minelayer on R&D or HQ, wherever the runner is going frequently. The first time they hit it you break even, the second time it nets you a click and 2 credits, then a click and 3 credits etc.

I wouldn't spend the influence on Cell Portal, or add another porus ice to the deck. In fact, I'm currently thinking the best improvement would be more End the Run ice, like Paper Wall.

For the extra influence you might get Wraparound and/or a third Archer or Tollbooth.

Gotcha, thanks. I'm planning on running a deck like this, any tips?

Just out of curiosity, have you had a chance to try out Mother Goddess yet? Seems like an auto include when running NEXT silvers, and bronzes.
