As I am expecting a Piccolo SD64 to arrive tome, I have begun to think that it would be a nice and neat solution to connect an Indivision to the Piccolo within the case instead of using a loop cable.
The VGA-in port solder points are visible on the back side of the Piccolo and I thought there just might be enough space for an angled 2x5 pin header there. There are two problems, though: how to solder a 10 pin header to 9 pin solder points and how to get this thing to work with the Indivision VGA header pinout?
Now which of these two would be more viable solution:
Anything else to consider?

Now which of these two would be more viable solution:
- Hot glue a 2x5 pin non angled header to a suitable place on Piccolo's backside and connect that to the VGA solder points with a correctly pinned ribbon cable, then use a pin-to-pin ribbon cable to connect the Piccolo and Indivision.
- Just directly solder a ribbon cable with ribbon cable connector to Piccolo's VGA solder points.
