PS5 Time & Date Sync v1.0.0

PS5 Time & Date Sync by Deckerr97

Initial public release.

A standalone, one-shot PS5 payload that restores the console date and time using public NTP servers. It is designed for consoles whose CMOS/RTC battery no longer retains the clock after a complete shutdown.

Features

• Automatic NTP date and time synchronization
• Published Cloudflare numeric fallbacks when PS5 DNS is unavailable
• Cloudflare, pool.ntp.org, and Google Public NTP hostname fallbacks
• NTP endpoint, version, mode, stratum, request timestamp, and date validation
• Clock read-back verification after updating
• Preserves the configured PS5 timezone
• One notification per payload execution
• No application installation or file modification
• Automatically exits after completion

Requirements

• Compatible PS5 exploit and ELF payload loader
• Internet access with outbound UDP port 123
• An execution environment that permits settimeofday

Built using a PS5 Payload SDK package containing firmware definitions through 13.60. Actual runtime compatibility depends on the firmware, exploit, loader, and available permissions.
