.ZX82 is ZX Spectrum emulator Speculator file
The ZX82 file extension is related to Speculator and used for its emulator format. Amiga Speculator has its own file format which called ZX82 format because it contains a file identifier in the first four bytes consisting of the ASCII characters "ZX82". The format has a 12 byte header which contains the normal Spectrum type file information like length, type, start etc. as well as a compression flag which is set if the file is byte run compressed. Snapshot files have a further 32 bytes of register values and border colour information. Listed below are the offset definitions taken from the Speculator source code in case you need to write a conversion utility. All registers and other values are in Motorola format (High, Low).
