"A free unofficial OS modification by Deep88 with help from ChatGPT

I wanted a Track Mute page on my MPC3000. Nearly twenty years later, I finally made it happen, with ChatGPT's honestly insane help and a whole lot of trial and error.

I first used an MPC3000 back in 2007. Over the years, I started appreciating the newer MPCs, especially for the Track Mute page. I love building a song by muting and unmuting tracks, like on a big mixer, using Track Mute. The first MPC with a Track Mute page was the MPC2000, which got it through an OS update, using a Shift + button shortcut. From the MPC2000XL onward, it became a signature of the MPC family. Naturally, I wanted it on the 3000 too.

A couple of weeks of tinkering, using MAME's MPC3000 emulation for the first tests, and here we are. This update is based on OS 3.12, with Track Mute and a few extra features thrown in.

It's a bootable update only. There won't be an EPROM version, and I will never sell it. I made it as a gift to myself, and I'm sharing it for free with anyone who wants it, in the spirit of the old internet. If you feel like improving it or hacking in more features, grab ChatGPT, or whatever exists by the time you read this, and give it a shot.

Simply insert a floppy with .sys inside or use a gotek floppy emulator with .hfe or .img and turn it on."
