New technique for whitening yellowed plastic
Osgeld replied to adam1977's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
yes 100% yes it is a real concern if you live in an area where the sun gets INTENSE might I suggest putting it in a water bath to prevent that (never had warping issues with liquid retrobrite formula's in the south east USA August sun, where its so narsty your grass turns to dust) I set some 5 mm accrylic out in the sun one day just to see what it would do and it started to make a 90 over the deck rail by the end of the day, you dont want that messing with a thin, old ABS part that's hard to replace -
they have yet to shove a generic pc into a plastic box, I have done 3 in the same amount of time for a cost of 200 bucks each just since last summer

Playdate: A new handheld console- with a crank?
Osgeld replied to Tupin's topic in Modern Console Discussion
Old time drill simulator I dunno it could be used for like a running motion or something itd just kind of odd which I have a feeling is why its on there -
its easy to knick 3d prints while deburing them, or it could be a glitch or it could be a chunk of wood paint and sand enough you can make wood look like plastic, I know cause I suck at painting so I paint and sand a lot

if I squint really hard I totally can't see the 3d print lines, when they should be well past the soft tool phase I mean the last plastics I was involved with (not that I am an expert) were interlocking pcb brackets with much more complex geometry than mod an atari controller and we went from 3d print to soft tools to cutting hard tooling in 6 months *ish. FFS this is just a box and a stick

I would think the handling of old plastic parts to be more harmful

Fresh install of windows 10 sucks around 1.6 gig sitting at the desktop so 4 gigs is enough as long as you don't run anything high demand

New technique for whitening yellowed plastic

anecdotal evidence, my first apple IIc when I got it was mustard yellow when I got, a good warm bath got it a half shade less brown, dollar tree peroxide + oxy and a day being submerged in sun got it snow white again. With in a couple months it started turning beige again not exposed to light (unless I was using it) in a climate controlled room, it settled on being a light beige for the next 4 years until I sold it (cause I got a mac with a IIe card setup) so repeated often, not so much, its not going to be perfect brand new though, just like anything with some time but I agree most retro bright solutions I see (as I harp this point again) are using weapons grade chemicals which will and does bleach the problem (IE the8 butt guy's osbourne wasnt darn near white when new) with my own experiments with the stuff, the oxy clean and sunlight do more than hydrogen peroxide, when I did my 65XE it sat out there for half a day without oxyclean (dollar store brand of course) without much effect ... a scoop of that crap dissolved in hot water and added to solution and it kick started it quite nice and it was more or less done (keys being stubborn cause they float around) by that evening -

Osgeld replied to blakespot's topic in Classic Console Discussion
You have to adjust the gain and voltage per cd mech theres a ton of guides online for the various revisions of playstation Most of them are general and generic and may work best practices is to use an oscope Ps check your old drive most spin issues are from the hub cracking and not gripping the disc those can be pulled off and replaced for a couple bucks -

I have always felt that people go wayyyyy above and beyond trying to make the most complex retrobrite setup possible We got 1000 watt uv bulbs army grade hydrogen peroxide a sude 've machine etc I just put some dollar store cheap in a bucket and leave it in the sun for a day... And now if you got a few days one doesnt even have to do that -
they do when they "leave the stage"

if your using retropie or recallbox there's an option for usb rom support you have to put the folders on a usb stick with the same names as RP is using from there you can have it auto copy onto SD card, or just run them off the USB (which is how mine is setup in a jag shell with a 120 gig msata ssd in a jag cart so whenever I want to fiddle with roms I just pull the cart and plug it in my pc) anything outside of roms though you would need to use the network or do it locally with a keyboard

its hard to thread shit when the Original Post was a whine about free software its very simple ... why isnt XYZ better, well sir you have all the same resources as everyone else, if it were easy anyone would do it .. I never said DIY, I said contribute and you have displayed nothing but attitude since why isnt XYZ better, cause its hard, and the interest is low, sorry you can't be bothered to install applewin and god help your precious finger from clicking a second icon on the desktop

I'm not missing the point thousands of man hours have gone into handing the emulation world to you in a tidy package just for someone to fuss about what Amiga emulator was chosen
