I saw this earlier over on Reddit and decided to give it a go. I'm on a 2000 slim and the difference to the screen colours and the amount of pop you get from the screen is really noticable!

Looks like it opens up the vita to the full RGB scale which is limited by default. Brings the vita 2000 more in line with older oleds in terms of saturation.



Check out the video if you're interested to see it working and help getting it working etc.

Thanks for this, I needed this tutorial. I can’t do it at the moment but will try this soon. Can’t wait to see how my slim vita looks like.

I was also wondering if you or anyone else know, does this waste more battery? Someone should test this out. I would but I don’t have my vita with me for like a couple of weeks.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
