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.
This system scrapes metadata for the spectravideo group and loads the spectravideo set from the currently selected theme, if available.

[Saves]
This section is completely optional, as most systems have implied save location (saves/<system>/<game>.<save game extension>. But some systems have complicated procedures or special extra features that might warrant this section existing.

Emulators
Emulator A
Emulator A [is a cool emulator that focuses on X attribute. Common resources for getting info on such emulators are their own websites, wiki, forum, Github pages. You can also scour docs.libretro if it's a libretro core specifically, or that other wiki if it's infamous enough.]
What platforms should this emulator be used on? Are there any special notes or reasons why it's included in Batocera over other emulators?
Emulator A configuration
This would be where all the settings available to this standalone emulator would go.
Standardized features available: system.option_A, system.option_B
ES setting name batocera.conf_key | Description ⇒ ES option key_value |
|---|---|
OPTION NAME AS IT APPEARS IN ES systemshortname.emulator_option | A description of what this setting does. Try to make it as approachable as possible without being more than a paragraph long, if you need longer it might be worth adding it as its own section. ⇒ Option A value_a, Option B value_b, Option C value_c |
Any special notes about configuration should go here, as well as alternative locations for editing the CFG file if applicable (most emulators won't need this).
Emulator B
Emulator B [is an emulator only available on X platforms due to it performing better on X boards. It is not available on the x86/x86_64 build. It has multiple cores.]
Emulator B configuration
This would be where settings that apply to all cores of this emulator would go.
Standardized features available: system.option_A, system.option_B
ES setting name batocera.conf_key | Description ⇒ ES option key_value |
|---|---|
OPTION NAME AS IT APPEARS IN ES systemshortname.emulator_option | A description of what this setting does. Try to make it as approachable as possible without being more than a paragraph long, if you need longer it might be worth adding it as its own section. ⇒ Option A value_a, Option B value_b, Option C value_c |
Emulator B: Corename
Emulator B: Corename configuration
This would be where settings that only apply to this core would go.
Controls
The default button mapping for the <system shortname>'s controls is as follows::
Embed a large image showing the controller's mapping. There should be one available for the system at https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera-controller-overlays/tree/master/solid-4k . In case it hasn't been created yet, the controller pictures at docs.libretro for the system generally share the same layouts.
