Loading a game with the NMI menu
This is the simplest way of loading a game or program.
Press the NMI button at any time and the NMI menu will appear. Press H for a help screen.
Use the cursor keys or CAPS SHIFT+6, CAPS SHIFT+7 to select a file. Press ENTER to load and run it.
More info about the NMI menu is found in the separate ‘NMI Menu’ paragraph.
Getting software on the memory card
Disconnect the power from your ZX Spectrum.
Pull the SD card from the DivMMC EnJOY!
Put the SD card into a card reader on your PC or laptop and copy your files to the SD card.
Please note that a maximum of 704 files per folder is supported.
When having more files than that, split the file-set in subfolders.

Supported emulator file formats
The DivMMC EnJOY! with ESXDOS supports .TAP, .SNA, .Z80 and .SCR files.
There is however a limitation in snapshot files (.Z80 and .SNA): 128K snapshot files will often only
work on the ZX Spectrum 128K (‘toastrack’) but not on the ZX Sp2A, +2B and +3 because of
ROM incompatibility.
The .TZX file format is not supported; this file format contains exotic loading systems (speed
loaders, loaders with copy protections, etc.) which need a lot of CPU power to decode.
