TheRetroChannel has uploaded a guide for the TIARA V2 modification of the Atari 2600. The video opens with a side-by-side comparison of the original V1 hardware and the updated V2 version. It then proceeds to outline the installation process and performance testing.

Key steps include installing a switcher, connecting video outputs, and configuring jumpers such as S.FIL and C.BST. The presenter demonstrates color trimpot adjustments for both NTSC and PAL standards, highlighting the differences in calibration. Additional instructions cover a junior-level install segment later in the timeline.
