* Copy CPCZVM.COM, ZXZVM.BIN and the game file (e.g. ADVENT.Z3) to media which has at least 64KB free. All of these should be in the same location. It is advised to use CPM+. CPM2.2 is supported.
* Boot into CP/M.
* Select the disc (e.g. |B)
NOTE:
* The version for CPM will run under Dk'Tronics 61KB CPM2.2 and version is better than the CPM+ version because it may run under can use windows like the AMSDOS version to allow individual sections of the display to be split or scrolling. Amstrad's implementation of CPM from other companiesis assumed and that printing goes to the firmware functions and the firmware control codes can be executed. * CPM+ version uses the VT52 terminal emulation but because that doesn't support windows it is less powerful.
* Using a RAMdisk under CPM+ doesn't make much of a difference to the speed of loading.
