After 3 years of work, I’m excited to introduce Renaissance Gears for the N64. What they are and how they perform, a 🧵.

@PointerFunction Yesterday I tried using Meguiars Ultimate Compound for 30 secs. + Meguiars Ultimate Polish also 30 secs. No success. So today I tried Meguiars PlastX and Ultimate Polish. Both 1 minute, 24 v, medium speed while spraying water every 5 seconds. It worked.

The Peaceful Outcome
@PeacefulOutcomeJul 28
Had my first go with the ezBuff tonight. It took some getting used to. But, with just Meguiar's PlastiX, I was able to get this result on an OG Xbox cd. It did not have any real big/deep scratches. The largest scratch it had is the squiggly one you can see in the top of the 2nd pic.

All done! Just gotta find some polish and a scratched up disc I'm willing to sacrifice.

Not bad, 4.5 hours from start to end. Some test fitment will be conducted and when I'm happy with the results the files will be made public. 😎

Just gotta print out the rails and we'll be done. Assembly has been very easy considering all the mating parts. This really is an excellent design by @PointerFunction! I do have some notes that I'll send since you said you're looking for feedback.

@PeacefulOutcomeJul 22
The shipment of parts has arrived for the ezBuff. I still have a few parts to print out for this, but lets start the assembly!

Got all the big bits printed up today for @PointerFunction's RGR ezBuff (optical disc resurfacer / polisher). Waiting for parts to come in, but excited to get this build underway. So far, its coming along great. Very good design. You can tell a lot of thought went into it.

chatting about this project has been very fun, i hope people are excited for it, i feel theirs a real need for it and it opens up a discussion around how exploitative current options are.

Here's something different. A 4.7KB PlayStation demo created as something I could boot from a memory card via the FreePSXBoot exploit, which became a sizecoding experiment. Next time I'll try to figure out a way around the ginormous header. pouet.net/prod.php?which=105…
