How do I stop this little problem I have
>>12874492Baking soda + hydrogen peroxide + baking it in the sunNow FUCK OFF.
heres what it should look like after retrobriteing
>>12874492Yellow adds character, any company can make a grey controller look fresh out of the factory but it takes years for that rich yellow patina to really shine. You should wear it with pride.
>>12874501Mine is similar to that but is so orange you'd think it was like that since the production line. It's over...
>>12874501>retrobriteDon't actually use this shit, it destroys the plastic even faster than natural aging. Just leave your yellowing plastic the way it is.
>>12874501You want the white parts to become purple and the gray ones to become white?I don't think even retrobrite can do that.
>>12874492Stop pissing on it
>>12874496Nah, you just need peroxide and UV rays.
>>12874492Stop smoking
>>12874492It's not a problem at all. Accept the passage of time.
>>12874521No it fucking doesn'tOne fucking youtuber's anecdotal "evidence" did nothing prove that
My dreamcast is starting to look like this and it's tragic
>>12874667The passage of time alone doesn't cause yellowing. Being stored for decades in suboptimal conditions does. My Dreamcast is the only console I have with yellowing and it's entirely because 25 years ago I left it sitting on a TV unit in direct sunlight for several hours a day.
Paint it like a car.
Judging by the thumbnail, I thought your little problem was that you couldn't stop buying gamecube keyboard-controllers.
>>12875170Buy an ad
>>12874492It's only a problem if you define it as such. Does picrel still work? Great. Don't make it brittle with retrobright, hydrogen peroxide, or UV treatments. It's only going to yellow faster after a brief reprieve.
>>128744921) Go back in time2) Put everything in airtight acrylic cases3) Never play anything (leaves residue)4) Just look at it
>>12874496>>12874554>crumbles apart after another decade
>>12875717faggot redditors hate the truth
>>12875968Get raped to death:https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/retro-gaming/a-10-year-study-indicates-that-treated-surfaces-turn-yellow-more-severely-than-untreated-plastic-parts-retrobrighting-does-more-harm-than-good-to-consoles
>>12874496>I am gonna give you bad advice then fuck offYou should be work as a Mexican or indian doctor.
>>12875170Shut up Rashim, you got exposed already! And yes all those techniques fuck plastic further.
>>12876070>You should be workkys
>>12875797It's caused by UV exposure. Just keep your shit in a cool, dark and dry place and it will never ever yellow.
Does it work with Nintendon't on Wii U?
>>12874492Embrace the yerrow.
>>12875996>10-year study>literally one guy and one sample>applies retrobrite in the worst way>yellows at different rates in unknown conditions>does literally nothing to test durability>"It's bad!"
>>12874492Take it apart and paint it white. It's the only way to preserve the look without damaging the plastic.
>>12874492What games would you even use that for?
>>12877138Phantasy Star Online.
>>12874492Minimize exposure to oxygen and sunlight. This N64 was cheap because it was exposed to excessive sunlight and oxygen thus gaining an unsightly creamsicle swirl look, compare to the controller. I just watched a restoration video where they sanded it off: https://youtu.be/1ZH7a_QykOE?t=840
>>12877139I just used a cheap 3rd party adapter to plug in a regular keyboard for chatting in PSO on Gamecube. I kinda wish I had gotten one of those monstrosities as a joke though. "Here's your controller bro!"

>>12877307Dignity, a life
>>12874492Stop smoking.
