6. Loading additional games
In addition to the 1000 games supplied, you might wish to play other
ZX Spectrum games on your Vega. These may be downloaded from
various sources on the internet, provided that the site gives you the
legal right to do so. From time to time additional games will be made
available for download from the ZX Spectrum Vega website
http://www.zxvega.co.uk
To play additional games on your Vega, they must be stored on a micro
SD card. A micro SD card is a type of removable memory card used to
store information. Physically it is the smallest size SD card available,
and requires an adapter so that they will fit into a slot provided on a
computer for standard SD cards. Such adapters are often supplied with
the micro SD card when purchased.
Playing games stored on a micro SD card
1. Using a computer, download the game files you wish to play,
and store them on a micro SD card. The Vega supports .tap,
.z80 and .szx file formats only.
2. Insert the SD card into the Vega, making sure that it is fully
inserted into the slot.
3. The Vega will detect the SD card and allow you to access the
games on the SD card by pressing button [A].
4. On pressing button [A], Vega will list the games it finds on the
SD card in the game menu, replacing the built-in games.
5. If you have folders on your SD card, on pressing button [A] the
Vega will ask you which folder you wish to scan for games. It
is recommended that you store your games in folders for easy
access as there is a limit to the total number of files the Vega
can load at once.
6. To switch back to the built-in games, press button [A].
While the Vega is accessing the SD card, the power indicator will flash.
You should not remove the SD card while the indicator is flashing.
