Rtc Tick

The Rtc Tick is a 64-bit integer that corresponds to the number of microseconds since 1/01/01 00:00:00.000000. A tick can be considered as the smallest unit of time usually used by PS Vita operating system and softwares.

Below are examples of Rtc Tick values and their human-readable "date-time" equivalent.

Rtc Tick DateTime
0x0000000000000000 1/01/01 00:00:00.000000

To convert a DateTime to a Rtc Tick, one can use the following approximate calculation. 

#define RTC_SECOND (1 * 1000 * 1000)
#define RTC_MIN    (60ull * RTC_SECOND)
#define RTC_HOUR   (60ull * RTC_MIN)
#define RTC_DAY    (24ull * RTC_HOUR)
#define RTC_YEAR   (365ull * RTC_DAY)

rtc_tick = year * RTC_YEAR + day * RTC_DAY + hour * RTC_HOUR + min * RTC_MIN + second * RTC_SECOND + usec;

However, when you convert 1970/01/01 00:00:00.000000 to a Rtc Tick using this calculation, the result is 0xDCB731F0F1C000 (1969/09/11 00:00:00.000000), which is different from the result shown in some of the actual Rtc Tick examples. 

// 0x00DCBFFEFF2BC000 - 0xDCB731F0F1C000 = 9676800000000 (just 112 day)

Up to this point, we have been doing simple calculations, but to accurately convert from DateTime to Rtc Tick, we need to take leap years into account. There were 478 leap years between 1/01/01 00:00:00.000000 and 1970/01/01 00:00:00.000000, but that not match the difference.

Therefore, to convert from DateTime to the correct Rtc Tick, the following complex calculation must be performed. Note that there is no proof yet that this calculation can convert to the correct Rtc Tick. 

#define RTC_SECOND (1 * 1000 * 1000)
#define RTC_MIN    (60ull * RTC_SECOND)
#define RTC_HOUR   (60ull * RTC_MIN)
#define RTC_DAY    (24ull * RTC_HOUR)
#define RTC_YEAR   (365ull * RTC_DAY)

int datetime2tick(SceRtcTick *pTick, SceUInt32 year, SceUInt32 month, SceUInt32 day, SceUInt32 hour, SceUInt32 min, SceUInt32 second, SceUInt32 usec){
	pTick->tick = 0ull;
	SceBool target_year_is_leap = SCE_FALSE;
	SceUInt32 leap_count = 0;
	if ((year % 400) == 0 || ((year % 4) == 0 && (year % 100) != 0))
		target_year_is_leap = SCE_TRUE;
	for (int i=0; i<(year - 1); i++) {
		if ((i % 400) == 0 || ((i % 4) == 0 && (i % 100) != 0))
			leap_count = leap_count + 1;
	}
	SceUInt64 year_diff = leap_count / 365;
	SceUInt64 day_diff  = leap_count % 365;
	day_diff -= target_year_is_leap;
	pTick->tick = (SceUInt64)(year - 1) * RTC_YEAR + year_diff * RTC_YEAR + day_diff * RTC_DAY;
	for (int i=0; i<(month-1); i++)
		pTick->tick += g_month_list[target_year_is_leap * 12 + i] * RTC_DAY;
	pTick->tick += (day - 1) * RTC_DAY;
	pTick->tick += hour   * RTC_HOUR;
	pTick->tick += min    * RTC_MIN;
	pTick->tick += second * RTC_SECOND;
	pTick->tick += usec;
	return 0;
}

SceRtc Time Reversal Security

If some Rtc ticks in memory are lower than the constant set in SceRtc, those ticks are set to 0.

The Rtc tick constants vary per System Software version as they are updated with some System Software updates containing a newer SceRtc kernel module.

How to get current time and date

See also Rtc Tick.

Getting the current time and date involves Syscon scratchpad and Syscon command 0x11. Syscon command 0x11 returns twice the number of seconds Syscon has been running since its power on. Syscon scratchpad contains at offset 0x10 the timestamp when Syscon "started" running. It is stored in the following format: microseconds since 01/01/0001 and divided by 2^19. By adding those values together, the OS obtains the current time and date.

In pseudocode: 

last_reincarnated_tick = syscon_read_scratchpad(offset=0x10, size=5)
up_time_half_seconds = syscon_cmd_read(cmd=0x11, size=4)
UTC = timedelta(microseconds=last_reincarnated_tick * (1<<19)) + datetime(1, 1, 1) + timedelta(seconds=up_time_half_seconds*2)
