    Does part of that printing process there produce bite marks or gnashes on one of the "controllers". It could be someone just recycled an old controller (possibly from a generic type) and added baby oil to make it look new.

     

    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

    All of the other methods I keep seeing using heat and high concentration chemicals/peroxide look like they speed the death of the plastic, bleach the problem and need to be repeated often. A UV protectorate and air conditioning seems a good idea, and those incandescent bulbs are gold it would seem.

     

    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

    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

    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

    There was no - and won't be any - apologies for responses to intentionally thread-shitting posts

     

    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

    If we have a time machine we can fix all of this. Tho there is some risk of messing up the timeline...

     

    "Whatever happened to Apple Computers; they were big till the late-80's." ;)

    That already happened they came back in the late 90s
