Wow, nice job man. My SNES has yellowed on the bottom half too. But the top and the controllers are fine. I'm gonna give this a shot when I have some extra time, I hate how the yellowing looks.

My Dreamcast was half yellow on top. Soap and goo-gone wouldnt work. I used a light brillow sponge on it and it took it off pretty easy.

Sorry to bump this old topic but I have some results to post.

This was after just 2 hours in the sun. I decided to use a cracked Super NES shell I had laying around before testing this method on anything important. Once I get some more testing done, I will work on doing some of these and post a write-up.

All I can say so far is -- the ingredients are hard to find and expensive.
