I'd bet if you started with a new teensy with no header pins on it and built it to the MIDI board with ribbon cable (if you even wanted 5pin DIN) you could fit it. There's a lot of room in there, but that room is mostly pretty flat. That dome on the model 1 is just empty space though.

You can try to solder to the underside of the board, directly to the pin 5 I was thinking?

Yeah that's what I was thinking, I was more wondering if anyone knew of a 5v supply from within the console, then I realized there's one at the a/v connector, so maybe I'll give that a shot today.

Use pin 9 on the 9 pin controller port connection on the teensy. ??

Wait, what? Are you saying there's already a 5v source at the controller port? My pinout shows pin 5 as unused by the genMDM board, am I crazy?

Was this hard to do? Tutorial seems pretty step-by-step.

Not hard at all! I soldered it onto a breadboard layout proto board after (with sockets, etc of course). I will say that soldering the shitty wires in the Genesis controller I tore apart was a pain in the butt (the wire is designed for CRIMPING, not soldering), but worth it. I'm enclosing it today and it will be very mobile.

If Seb doesn't mind, I can share the pinout I reverse engineered f you want to take that route.
