 ### Major Features Overview
 
 This section is a fast feature map to improve discoverability of core OPL capabilities and reduce setup friction for first-time and returning users.
 
-- **MMCE / MX4SIO support:** OPL supports MX4SIO adapters (including MMCE-compatible setups) for loading content from SD cards through the Memory Card slot. See the **USB/MX4SIO/iLink** section for filesystem and layout guidance.
+- **MMCE support:** OPL supports MMCE devices using the Memory Card Mass Storage protocol for SD-based loading through the Memory Card slot.
+- **MX4SIO support:** OPL supports MX4SIO adapters for SD-based loading through the Memory Card slot. See the **USB/MMCE/MX4SIO/iLink** section for filesystem and layout guidance.
 - **Internal HDD exFAT support:** Internal HDD loading supports exFAT in addition to APA/PFS, including GPT partitioning for large disks. See the **HDD** section for formatting and fragmentation guidance.
 - **Themes:** Place theme assets in the `THM` folder, then select and apply themes from OPL settings.
 - **Cheats / PS2RD:** OPL supports PS2RD `.cht` cheat files from the `CHT` folder, with both auto-apply and launch-time selection modes.
