QuickNTP is a Tesla plugin designed for Nintendo Switch that enables you to synchronize the system clock with NTP servers.
Overview
By utilizing a list of public NTP servers, QuickNTP can update your Nintendo Switch's clock. This is particularly helpful in situations where a custom DNS is being used or when the connection is limited. If you rely on Nintendo's servers for updating your clock, you may encounter an issue where the Switch's clock gains a few minutes each month. However, with QuickNTP, you can now quickly and easily update your clock by connecting to a public NTP server.
Features
- Update the time by selecting from a list of servers
- Show the current offset against the selected server
- Set the internal network time to the time set by the user in system settings (time traveling, yay!)
Possible future features
- Better error handling / messages
- Show a clock with seconds
- Turn the heart icon in a clock (have to check for the font)
- Get the time in a separated thread
- Pick the closest NTP server based on user region
- Update the time with milliseconds (maybe a system limitation)
Requirements
- Tesla overlay
Installation
- Copy the .ovl file in /switch/.overlays/
- Start the Tesla overlay (no need to restart the console)
- Select QuickNTP from the menu
Screenshots
Troubleshooting
The "Synchronize Clock via Internet" option should be enabled in System settings as described here, since this program changes the "Network clock" (immutable in settings).
Disclaimer
Please don't send a lot of requests. NTP servers should be requested in 36 hours intervals This program changes NetworkSystemClock, which may cause a desync between console and servers. Use at your own risk! It is recommended that you only use the changed clock while offline, and change it back as soon as you are connected (either manually or using ntp.org server.)
