This is an amazing piece of hardware, but comes with a few weaknesses:
* Only 1 joystick, no support for two-player games

The goal is to add ports for two external joysticks, a PS/2 keyboard and a disk drive (1541 compatible).
The goal is to remedy the stated weaknesses by doing the following:
* Add ports for two external joysticks => support multi-player gaming and we can use better joysticks
* Add connectors for a PS/2 keyboard and a 1541 compatible disk drive => load games from 5.25" floppy disks

All soldering should be done on the backside of the PCB. Note that some soldering points are located under the rubber buttons.

When connecting peripherals to the joystick, it will not be able to run from batteries anymore, so I'm running it from a DC power supply. Since the joystick assumes a 5V power supply, I've build a 5V voltage regulator circuit. The regulator is connected to the output of the battery pack (see picture). NB! Remove batteries before connecting external power.
