Official LOB64 Interface Standard

[Corporal Awesome]

All major connector ports have an interesting logo on the side of their port.
USB has that wierd pitchfork with shapes on it:


Firewire has this thing:


Ethernet has this logo:


Why not make one for LOB64? It could be based off the ethernet logo (considering it uses ethernet cables and ports).
It's not needed (the only users will be modders who already know about it), but it would look *really cool* on a portable next to the headphone icon and stuff.

We had one, but I was hosting it on Geocities and is now gone. I can remake it though, just not right now. Nobody saved it, did they perchance?

I really like this Idea and will use it if I ever make a N64p, but I just noticed, with this you can also make some smaller portables, and use the LOB64 as an adaptor for controller ports and video-out ect. , so still contail full functionality

I don't have the logo file, but I do have the breakout pod pix that you made- that has the logo on the corner.



Definitely remake the logo if you get the chance- I'm going to finish up my N64p this summer and will be using it if you do.

I think it would be awesome if there was a second revision that was inspired by the ethernet logo. Maybe put something like this:

You could even stylize the large circle to be more like the portable rounded rectangle shape. Do something better with the text though. It'll look amazing!

i will use this in my nesp, but with a vga connector, as there is no controller board.

I came up with this in 3D Studio MAX in under 1 hour of work.

It is not the best - but what do you expect for something free




Like it?

Geometric, simplistic, cliche.

In that video you created. You say that the slave needs to be on all the time. but what if you make a switch in the master that breaks the second players connections.

see look at this way.


EDIT: (Cable related)
What about something like:

This project is very intressding and I would defentliy add LOB64 to my n64p if I make one, however what do I need to make this? Video amp? Sound amp? Can someone please tell me exactly what I will need to make it work. The diagram don't have a video amp but I read that I will need one.
Also I found these CAT5E Keystone jack that I think will work.

If I were to implement this in a Nintendo Entertainment System, these are the only things that would have to be connected to the port, right?

Video
Sound
Player One Controller
Player Two Controller

How is this logo?

You only need a video amp if you're making a Klobio box, i.e. multiplayer box. For two player, you won't need one.
