@msxer said in Super Nintemu: A Raspberry Pi Emulation Console:
What mix-ratio did you use for the peroxide gel and water? And did you make a fresh mix daily or did you just leave the plastic in the same bath for a few days?
I'm sure the information would benefit anyone working on an snes...
I made a fresh mix daily. I never measured, I just poured some sally branded vol40 cream. In the beginning I used to mix it with a bit of oxyclean but I got similar results without using it. My results weren't perfect since I did each part seperately, but it used to be as yellow as yours.

@Darksavior Thanks for your help. I have created a de-yellowing topic here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3794/de-yellowing-a-1992-super-nintendo-console-progress-report

I am planning a similar project. Where did you get the grey backplate?

If you look at the video on YouTube, from about 9 minutes in, you can see it up close. It's just a regular piece of painted plastic (styrene) glued in place. Although i had to use a dremel to cut a bit of plastic away so the "plate" would have a well enough surface to be glued upon.
In the meantime, here on the RetroPie forum someone with a similar build has designed a nice 3D-print model for a very nice and elegant backplate. I believe the 3D model is available for download. I think that would be a better solution. -
I already have 12% hydrogen peroxide but I'm waiting for a sunny day. That could be another 3 months here in Belgium :p I'm thinking about getting UV lamp but I'm not sure which one to get. Ideal would be to put them inside of a tanning bench lol :D
