Interview With Dennis aka Pointer Function

Remember the days when a scratched CD ruined your gaming night? Dennis van den Broek, aka Pointer Function, is here to save your disc collection—and your wallet. He recently sat down for a RetroRGB podcast to talk about his latest brainchild: the RGR EZBuff.

This isn’t just another gadget; it’s an open-source disc polisher designed to tackle a very specific, very expensive problem. Dennis breaks down why those cheap, generic polishers are a nightmare to repair and why the big commercial units (like the ELMs) are practically cash traps, charging you over $1,500 upfront plus a fee for every single disc you polish.

The EZBuff offers a refreshing alternative. It’s open source, meaning the community can tinker and improve it, and it promises to fix those scratched gems without breaking the bank. Dennis even hints at a future livestream where he’ll put the device through its paces, so keep an eye out for real-world testing results.

If you’ve ever stared at a scratched disc in despair, this is worth a listen. You can catch the full interview by searching “RetroRGB Dennis” on your favorite podcast app. And if you want to support the man behind the magic, his Ko-fi and Printables pages are linked up for your donation pleasure.
