 ====== Spectravideo ====== ====== Spectravideo ======
 +Spectravideo was a brand of home computers and peripherals that gained popularity in the early 1980s. The company initially started as a manufacturer of video game consoles and accessories before transitioning to producing home computers. Notable models included the SV-318 and SV-328, which were known for their robust build and compatibility with MSX software, a standardized home computer architecture. Spectravideo computers were particularly popular in Europe and played a significant role in the home computing boom of the 1980s.

-  * **Accepted ROM formats:** Syntax example: ''.chd'' ''.iso'' ''.bin'' <wrap lo>Include here //instead// if shared by all emulators. Typically, different emulators accept different formats.</wrap> +
-  * **BIOS files:** Syntax example: ''scph1001.bin'' ''scph5500.bin'' ''scph7001.bin'' <wrap lo>Include here //instead// if shared by all emulators. Typically all emulators will require the same BIOS files, but there are exceptions. Do your research.</wrap> +
