Any way to capture from an MVS wired cab?

So, I’ve had direct responses from @Hatsune Mike regarding the Splitfire, @buffi regarding his Betsu, and @Axun via @drfunk2k regarding the JAMMA extractor, that none of these solutions are suitable for extraction from an MVS wired cab, due to the fact that audio is handled differently.

Perfectly understandable, of course. That’s not what they were designed for, and I wasn’t surprised to get those answers.

I also understand that it is technically possible to “convert or depopulate the audio circuit” on both the Splitfire and Betsu, but I’m pretty confident that’s beyond me 🙈

So my question is, does anybody have any solution for doing so?
Is anybody direct capturing from an MVS wired cab, and if so how are you doing it?
Does anybody have a similar product to those above but with the MVS in mind?

To those genius chaps I’ve name dropped above, are there any plans for future revisions that may handle MVS audio, or even dedicated versions?

As MVS cabs are so massively popular, and I imagine such a solution would be very successful, I’m surprised it hasn’t at least been talked about much.
I’m an utter tech buffoon, so it may well be far more complex/pricey than I imagine, or simply not worth the effort to reward to look into a product that does this natively, but on paper it seems like it makes sense…?

P.S. yes, I could use an MVS to JAMMA adapter, and put a one slot in my multi slot cab, but that really defeats the point, and the fun of a proper MVS cab.
 
I just removed the transformer from my BetsuBetsu and take the audio from the line out on the MVS. You also need to add jumper wires for select up / down as those haven't been routed on the board.

PM me if you want it, I can always make another one.
 
Hmmm, I’ll message in just a sec, but putting this here in case it’s of use to anyone else…

When you say the ‘line out’ on the MVS, do you mean the headphone sockets on the memory card board? (Or at least from the audio header that connects to the memory card board)
