I need this connector but can't find it

Hello

I need this connector as a PCB through hole one:

it is for sega Dreamcast, I searched and found people calling it maple connector since it uses a serial bus called that. however, i could not find it anywhere so i think it is proprietary??

alibaba and chinese suppliers seem to have it but not in pcb friendly through hole.


how can i get this to be used in pcb soldering it at right angle similar to original controller board?

regards

EDIT: i contacted alibaba supplier and he sent this: https://imgur.com/a/sre6PSI

this is the best i could find.

i need to be able to make a board with same form factor as original controller ports board (with my extra components there)... meaning the connectors must be at right angle. this connector as you saw is not right angle.

a quick solution came to me is to make small pcb for the 4 connectors, then put right angle connectors on it. this way i can install it on the new flat board.

for your opinion.
