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.

finally!! I had a oled vita and got a slim shortly after and the greens inparticular were horrible on the slim, this pretty much puts the slim on par. not perfect but removes that washed out look sony seemed to think was ok

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
