This is a sub-page of Proto:PlayStation 4.
Firmware version 0.915, dated 9 months before the release of the PS4 (February 2013) has a lot of differences compared to the final firmware. This firmware was found on a DEHT series PS4 devkit.
Differences#
- The user icon is completely different, depicting a book with a person on the cover.
- There's a Settings icon on the top right of the screen, which was changed to a Trophy icon in the final firmware.
- Very different home screen design with names below icons instead of next to icons.
- The devkit info is at the bottom right, where on later firmwares it's on the top left.
- The background is completely different, having no wave effect.
- The button icons aren't colored.
- The Connect to the Internet dialog uses an image of the original PS3 model.
- Very preliminary Safe Mode, with only 5 options and different names.
- The console is known as $PFName$.
- The list buttons use the PlayStation Vita style.
- The options in the Settings menu has a wrench icon in all options.
Early User Icons#
In system/priv/etc, there's other early user icons. The registered icon is a slightly squished version of the one used on the PS3, and the guest icon is a generic "person" icon which is completely different from the one used in the release firmware.
