### 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.
