My cousin had a SV-328 and we hacked MSX games for it
My cousin Ron and I would get MSX games up and running on the Spectravideo SV-328, only MSX1 games though. The Spectravideo truly was the MSX1 godfather in a way.
I think because in Japan most games were sold on cartridges and also tapes the MSX systems - with their compatible joystick ports - were basically colecovision-like-consoles with a keyboard at first. Flying off the shelves. In a way they were better than the C64 and the ZX Spectrum when it came to storing information on the modern 3.5" floppy disks (only 720Kb DS or 360Kb though)
