Vitabright is an exploit to enable full brightness and max clocks

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Hey, I've found out a way to use vitabright to bypass the 80% brightness lock imposed by sony.

I've made a post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/8h1mgh/vita_true_100_brightnessmax_clock_hack/?sort=new

I dont know how it does it but its a combination of vitabright setting a brightness level outside of sony's brightness settings and restarting through henkaku settings. setting brightness to max and powering off the vita normally then powering it back on disables the workaround so its definitely a combination of your plugin and how henkaku restarts the vita. Doing the opposite enables the workaround - setting brightness to vitabrights super low setting and restarting through henkaku settings - I'm a freelance tester but usually dont mention it because I've never worked in the industry (too much paperwork) and people asking to test programs for free but I have tested roughly over 200 programs for several clients and have a knack for finding obscure and random bugs and glitches. This time I managed to find an exploit to bypass sony's brightness settings.

And the irony that a plugin made to dim the screen inadvertently bypasses a max brightness lock to make the screen even brighter is pretty cool. The name Vitabright fits even better now.

There's a video in the post as well when I was still trying to work it out but it shows the exploit working.

Thought I'd let you know so you could include it in the plugins docs if you want. Thanks for making the plugin, its pretty damn useful.
