Is anyone doing this?

I have my original 48K Spectrum in the loft and a nice 14inch portable sat on my workstation so fancy having a go at some old classics - unfortunately i don't have a tape drive and not sure i want to wait 15 minutes for an r tape loading error anyway.

A very limited amount of research has shown that games can be played from a flashcard so does anyone have any advice for me?

I have a divIDE+ for my Spectrum which allows you to use a compact flash card to store your games on. It works well and loading of games is instantaneous.

I also have a Spectranet interface which adds ethernet functionality to the humble Spectrum. With this you can hook your Spectrum into your network and load games from a TNFS server (which is basically just a network share that the Spectranet can see and understand).

Both solutions are great and offer instantaneous loading of games.

The latest device to hit the market is called the DivMMC ENJOY! which allows you to store your games on an SD card.

You can also load speccy games from a portable MP3 player with sped up loading times (saw it on youtube) I think Android/iPhone have apps for speccy/C64 game loading too.

I use an ios app called speccy tape. It lets you download tap/tzx files and play them through the headphone socket straight to the audio port on the spectrum.
