It is used as an interrupt controller receiving the INT pins from both V9938s. I added logging to demonstrate how fucked up the V9938 interrupt callbacks are:

VINT2 1 y 136 frame 5
VINT2 0 y 155 frame 5
VINT2 1 y 454 frame 5
VINT2 0 y 268 frame 130
VINT2 1 y 454 frame 130
VINT2 0 y 382 frame 255
VINT2 1 y 454 frame 255
VINT2 0 y 16 frame 381
VINT2 1 y 454 frame 381
VINT2 0 y 126 frame 506
VINT2 1 y 454 frame 506
VINT2 0 y 237 frame 631
VINT2 1 y 454 frame 631
VINT2 0 y 347 frame 756
VINT2 1 y 454 frame 756
VINT2 0 y 468 frame 881
VINT2 1 y 454 frame 882

If the Z80 code is expecting a 60 Hz interrupt, this might throw it off a bit.
