Hacking Disable Auto-Dim on Ps Vita with registry editor and Henkaku

[sigma.nl]

I'm wanted to use my Psvita and DS4 controller for remote play on my PS4 but there is an annoying
auto-dim from the screen.
Now with Henkaku and the release of a registry editor for the vita (thanks "some1psv" for the editor)
I thought that the could be a way to disable the auto-dim and....

After some testing I found a way to disable the Auto-Dim

Just do the following:
- Make sure your have a Vita 3.60 with Henkaku installed
- Install RegistryEditor.vpk https://github.com/some1psv/RegistryEditor/releases
- start the Registryeditor
- goto the following registry entry:
/CONFIG/POWER_SAVING/", "suspend_interval"
- change the value to 0 (zero)

- goto the following registry entry:
/CONFIG/DISPLAY/", "dimming_interval"
- change the value to 0 (zero)

reboot the vita and your done!!!
Experience you Vita game play without the Auto-Dim

A reminder, There is no Auto-Dim but there is also no PowerSaving anymore so your battery will drain if you don't push the powerbutton yourself
!!! also be aware of your screen Burning (don't know if it could burnin but I don't want to try it out )


cheers

As someone who's left a vita on for weeks without dim. Burnin is real. It's shitty. And it's irreversible. Just be aware.

OK thank for your response, it does work with my vita, I have a vita 1000 (EUR)

I just found a funny thing.
When you turn your vita on and do not touch a button or screen it will boot and goes to standby but... when you touch a button and go to the
homescreen with all the bubbles the vita stays on.

Can you check the following:
when you go to the settings menu and to the powersaving options, then to the auto standby setting
can you see if there is a time selected 1,3,5,10,30 minutes
In my setting menu there isn't one selected see the attached picture link

Can anyone confirm this does work with your vita.
I Cannot image that I'm the only one in the world were this works

I had to changed both parameters to disable the auto dim
Don't know why, it would be logical that only the dimming interval set to 0 would solve the problem but sony/vita thinks different about it

Thanks for checking Superdan

Sorry for the delayed response it was confirmed working on my vita now thanks

 

[AK_Twilight]

Working perfect. Vita slim. Thank you!

 

[sparlock666]

Thanks, this works great. Since I changed it though, i don't remember the default value for "suspend_interval". The dimming_interval I remember was at 900, but do you happen to remember that one just in case I want to switch back?

 

[asdfqwer426]

just found this, trying it out now. that auto dim on metal gear cut scenes is KILLING me.

the default values I had were -
Dimming interval - 900
suspend interval - 600

I haven't checked to see if the suspend interval value changes based on the setting in the settings app, but it might?
