Mini din on a Japanese Mega Drive va4 motherboard

[yozencolere]

Hello,

I want to install a triple bypass mod on a Japanese Mega Drive va4.
The problem is that I don’t have the space to solder a mini din 9 on the motherboard. I don’t have a rf module that I could remove to put the mini din.
Is it possible to remove the original din to scratch the motherboard at its slot and solder the mini din to it without any problem? Or is it better to scratch another part of the motherboard a little bit further (above the cartridge port as I circled it on my picture) and make a hole in the shell to put the rgb cable through?

Thanks for your help.

Have you considered keeping the regular DIN and just adding a small 3.5mm audio port to the back of the console?

No, I didn’t know it was possible to do it, but without technical documentation that explains how to do it step by step, I’m afraid it’s out of my hands.
