Description
Technical explorations and hacks for the MPC Live, X, One and Force. The repository holds the mpcimg tool, rewritten in C after Akai changed the image format in 3.4, the bootstrap code and documentation, with a wiki. IamForce2 launches Force software from an external SD card and does not update the MPC; removing the card restores normal boot. SSH and bootstrap images for Force 3.3.0, MPC 2.14 and MPC 3.4.2.13 are shared through download links in the README. The last push was 2025-03-03.
Install notes
See the README and wiki. Flash bootstrap SD card images with an image-writing tool; SSH images are installed through the normal update path.
