(Automatically translated into English) In line with my first hacked console, this second version pushes the possibilities of the Atari 2600: it now has full remote control of the front panel. The Silly Walker ensured this realization with particular care, since in addition to this functional addition, he made the connections from shielded cables (connected to the mass) to guarantee a hi-fi sound particularly optimized in its reduction in spurious signals.

(Automatically translated into English) The first hacked console already had a Panel control output to control the facade remotely (via a stereo mini-jack), but only the Game Select and Game Reset buttons were then accessible. This new console # 2 offers access to all five buttons on the front panel, via a DB9 form similar to those dedicated to joysticks. A second DB9 was also mounted from a similar scheme, but "crossed" to connect up to four joysticks. Although there is originally no title using these additional files, we can create programs specifically dedicated to this console, or hack existing titles to allow four players to compete with the joystick, as we will see.

(Automatically translated into English) Although planned to eventually replace the first console #1 as a musical instrument, this version #2 currently plays two roles: on the one hand, it serves as my travel consoles in association with the Harmony cartridge. On the other hand, thanks to its four DB9 ports, it allows me to test programs that I created in which four players compete against each other at the same time using the joystick. The first game made is a Surround hack, called Surround 4.
