I sold my Dreamcast and all the games for it back in 2007...at the time I was moving and had to get down to the bare essentials. I am still kind of nostalgic for it, but the only game that I had for it that I can't still play today is Hydro Thunder. EVERYTHING else I had for it was eventually re-released on the Gamecube (which I still have).

@mestre da diversão Yes yellowing exist. That's not what I'm saying. But yellowing doesnt happen in such a consistent tone. The smudges are perfect circles
@@kevinvu5432 the smudges of glue are from very old stickers and you can't intentionally yellow plastic(who tf can do that? No one in the world can do that) Its not even either.

Yellowing cant just be "Yellow on this side and this side perfectly white" Even so, in his ps1 controller episode, the wire that came with the controller was wrapped around the middle part so the middle part didn't get much yellowing. These restorations show how the products aged during time and this man just brings it back to its best looks

For parts with metal that you weren't able to submerge, I've been able to use developer creme for bleaching hair, painters tape over the parts to protect, and wrapped in cling wrap in the UV box and it works really well. The creme is also pretty cheap at beauty supply shops. Once it's out of the box, I just clean it with soapy water and let it dry. Hope that's helpful for future projects!
"I have a limited edition, very rare Dreamcast for sale!" Which edition? =D The Sakura Wars? Or no. Hello Kitty? Or maybe......... No! The Christmas Seaman edition?! "Nope! I have the mint condition Nicotine Yellow-Brown Edition! =D "
Lighter fluid actually works great at breaking up gummy/sticky residue, like stickers. I first found that out while working at a bowling alley oddly enough. Lane mechanics will use whatever trick they can to make their life easier since the work never ever stops.
What an absolutely brilliant restoration - looks brand new. I like your set up with the uv lights for restoring the plastic. I've watched channels were they've relied on the sun and none have matched the quality of your results. Well done. Looking forward to the resurrection of more consoles abandoned by time.
IMO the Dreamcast was one of the most innovative consoles for their time, and I also feel that has been the only one, even on our current date and age that got right the idea of keeping players engaged by using the VMU system, not even nowadays with all the connectivity and hardware we have companies haven't try to achieve something similar, and is quite sad PD: does this video confirm the restaurator is actually and anime girl? (Just kidding hahahaha)
Maybe it's mentioned later in the comments, but you should probably check out cream peroxide developer, used in hairdressing. It's a peroxide cream/gel that will stay where you put it, so you could paint it on the plastic parts, keep it off the metal, and still use UV to accelerate whitening. 50V = 25% peroxide; 40V = 20% peroxide; etc.
Seeing this brings back memories when I first bought my Sega Dreamcast new I feel so old and that wasn't the console I grew up on I got an Atari and then the Nintendo, most of the time they got yellow from smokers.
Seriously, some people really don't look after their consoles. I had a SNES for like 20 years and it looks as good the day I sold it (total mistake) as the day I bought it (best decision ever).

Sega can try again, only with their own portable console similar to the Game Gear (only without the battery vampire function because of new technology).
I bought my Dreamcast kinda sorta new from the Electronic Boutique. I think someone got it and returned it immediately because even though it was technically second hand, it still had the box and documentation and that new radio smell to it. I got it in order to play Phantasy Star Online.
I knew this was coming. Was disappointed when you didn't clean it along with the console but then I remembered: good things come to those that wait 😁 And they're better in small doses 😀 Stay blessed dude 🙏
I realized yesterday that my Dreamcast stuff is starting to yellow. It's not nearly that bad yet, but it's probably the first thing I can think of that I've noticed yellowing while I've owned it.
For the longest time I thought the yellowing was caused by these devices being in smoking households. Because my friends who lived in smoking households always had their systems yellow like this while mine never did. But then a friend who I know had never had anyone smoke in his house had his SNES yellow, and then I had a cat water fountain yellow (and I've NEVER allowed any smoking in my place). Then I saw the 8-bit guy's video about it, and it turns out it's ACTUALLY caused by UV light, which explains why my stuff never yellowed. I always kept my stuff in a room with heavy curtains so it stayed dark. But my cat water fountain was kept in the living room, and the side that yellowed was on the side that faced the window.
Heating the hydroperoxide apparently helps speed up the process as well, on molecular level i would assume. only to a semi warm state though, you wouldnt want to warp any of the plastic.
kevin3003 From what I read online, it has nothing to do with bad treatment. “It turns out in most cases its caused by bromine, used as flame retardant in the ABS plastic. Over time it forms a stable complex with atmospheric oxygen on the surface of the plastic. Different batches of plastic for the same device can have different bromine levels, hence the yellowing is often uneven across parts of even the same unit. The process is accelerated by UV light or heat - hence even the non-UV-exposed inside of consoles can yellow (or even items in unopened packages).” www.neogaf.com/threads/yellowing-old-consoles-the-solution.899984/
Why did we sell our Dreamcast?!?! It's such a beautiful console, the simple design, great Controller. I hope SEGA returns some day to making consoles and blows away the Competition including Nintendo.

That came out great. It amazes me how much engineering goes into the making of these things. All the design on the injected molded plastic parts, the internal plastic parts, hardware, software, etc. How long do you think it took to CAD the trigger and spring mechanism, and then have it mass produced? Then they have to make it durable as heck as every teenage boy will be spilling their Mountain Dew soda all over it. Drop test, water tests, pressure tests. All sold to us for $199.99!! Kids study engineering
The Dreamcast was so ahead of its time. Sometimes I wish we could rewite history to a time where it didn't flop.
Well, the PS2 was a much more powerful machine that also happened to be a cheap DVD player.
If I had the option, I would do that. And also, prevent my younger self from trading in all the old games I had.
If it just came with a 2nd joystick, Sega could've probably stayed in the console wars a bit longer.
It didn't flopped, the only reason why it's not as popular as the PS2, GCN or Xbox is because it was discontinued very early into it's lifespan (1999-2001).
Ofc, the p2 was more powerful than the DC : as every newer hardware by 2 years later, it was, at least, what Sony must have done.
The Dreamcast controller has to be one the best built controllers of all time. The way the triggers and analog stick connect to the PCB, the simple amount of screws, and the fact you can take it apart without any brute force is simply amazing.

The yellowing is caused by exposure to UV light. The fix involves peroxide and either heat (160F or so) or more UV light.

For the longest time I thought the yellowing was caused by these devices being in smoking households. Because my friends who lived in smoking households always had their systems yellow like this while mine never did.
