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.

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.

openmsx configuration

Standardized features available to all cores of this emulator: msx1.videomode, msx1.padtokeyboard, msx1.videomode, msx1.bezel, msx1.bezel_stretch, msx1.hud, msx1.bezel.tattoo, msx1.bezel.tattoo_corner, msx1.bezel.tattoo_file, msx1.bezel.resize_tattoo

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.

It should be clear and easy to understand.
