			openMSX is an emulator for the MSX home computer system. MSX was a standard
			for Z80-based home computers, and was a (largely) Japanese attempt to
			establish a single standard in home computing similar to VHS in video.
		</p>
		<p>
			The MSX standard was designed by ASCII Corporation in Japan, in cooperation
			with Microsoft Japan. The later of which provided the extended BASIC for
			the machine.
		</p>
		<p>
			In addition to emulating MSX, MSX2, MSX2+, MSX Turbo R and many of it's
			peripherals, openMSX also supports emulating the ColecoVision and
			Sega SG-1000 game consoles and the SpectraVideo SVI-318 and SVI-328
			home computer systems.
		</p>
		<p>
			Note: by default the openMSX emulator only ships with the C-BIOS open-source
			BIOS implementation. This BIOS is restricted to cartridge based MSX games. For
			a full MSX or SVI emulation it is necessary to provide your own MSX and/or SVI
			BIOS ROMs, which must be placed in the ~/.openMSX/share/systemroms directory.
