In addition to providing a virtual keyboard, the Vega also emulates the 
Kempston joystick. To quickly configure a game loaded from an SD 
card for play on the  Vega, use  the  virtual keyboard to navigate  the 
game's   options,   and   select   the   game's   Kempston   joystick   mode,   if 
supported.

Further instructions for configuring additional games for play on the 
Vega can be found on the ZX Spectrum Vega website:
