I used this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OKDW20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
PUT GLOVES ON.
I placed a piece of plastic wrap flat on a table. Put a good amount in the middle and spread it with a paint brush. I applied some directly to the plastic as well. I placed the gameboy face down and wrapped it up. Next I put it in the sun and the yellowing came out pretty easily.
WHAT IN THE FUCK BRO.....
>I've heard sandpapering helps
As a fellow sneaker restorer I just cried tears of death.
If you're serious, there's a few options, depending on how much time you have on your hands.
Salon Care 40
Sole Bright
and as others have said the magic eraser.
The 40 solution is practically the main ingredient which other knock off brands have used for their "de-yellowing, of mid soles, process".
For those interested, here is the process I follow. This is the second skull I've done and both have turned out nicely. I know it looks like a lot of work at face value, and there is a lot of time that goes into it, but I was super nervous the first time I tried this, did a lot of research on how to do euro mounts and ultimately almost bailed out and paid someone $150 to do it for me. I ended up sticking it out and am glad I did both times. I know it's cliche, but if I can do this, anyone can do it and there is an immense amount of self pride that you get from seeing it hanging on your wall. Good luck and I look forward to seeing pictures of others who attempt to do their own DIY euro mount!
Some folks will use a pressure washer instead of steps 9 and 10, but I prefer this method as it removes the grease which can cause the skull to yellow over time.
At this point your skull can be mounted if you are satisfied with the appearance. The remaining steps are my preference and help with the cosmetics only.
Once the skull is entirely covered, wrap the entire thing in Saran wrap and place in front of a space heater. The heat is necessary to activate the bleaching agent. Heat the skull for about an hour, rotating every 10 minutes or so to ensure even heating.
While the skull is heating, prepare a new cooler full of hot water; no soap this time. Once the skull had been heated, cut the Saran wrap and submerge the skull to the base of the antlers and use your air compressor to bubble the surface and cavities again to remove the bleach and clean the skull.
Let the skull dry thoroughly. As the skull dries out will lighten up, but if you're unsatisfied with the color you can repeat the cleaning process as needed.
This also brings out a lot of unseen character in the antlers. Let the stain set for 10 minutes or so and wipe them down with a clean dry cloth.
Now you should have a beautiful skull with a nice, dark rack ready to mount. My mount of choice is the Walnut Hollow Country Solid Wood Deluxe Euro Skull Display Kit from Amazon.

Its called 40 Volume cream. Also check out 8-bit guy like stated, but a good how to is here
A strong Hydrogen peroxide plus sunlight works wonders on the yellowing. I recently restored a C128D and keyboard.
Can you talk a bit more about the specs and show pics of the hard drive setup? I'm actually fascinated that you were able to hook one up, presumably the sidecar port?

Retr0Bright those working ones for full glory.
This stuff works very well. Pre-mixed, stable, effective:

I'll make it easy. Just buy a bottle of this stuff, and watch this tutorial.
If you don't own a UV light, just use the sun.
there is an easy to obain(at least in the U.S., not sure about elsewhere) hair care product that takes care of the yellow plastic. Video below is of "The 8 Bit guy" using it with before and after results.

wear gloves, spread this on evenly with a brush https://www.amazon.com/Salon-Care-Creme-Developer-ounce/dp/B004OKDW20
wrap up the yellowed plastic in clear plastic wrap
put it in the sun outside, rotating every 30 minutes for even spread, for a few hours depending on temp
