On the Vita version, swipe the screen when you see the star popping up. On the PS3 version, flick one of the analog sticks.

I'll just pretend that I didn't see this post, nor the link...
...That's a great price for the large controller...
Got a chance to use the big controller a few weeks ago at Katsucon up in Washington, D.C. If that controller at Amazon in the same size as the one I played there, it's pretty damn big. Like CS Pop'n Music controller big.
I know,
I quickly threw it in my cart to preorder. I'm actually a huge, huge Hori fan and deeply regret missing the first one. This second one has been a struggle. But now that amazon is listing it I'll buy it.
Also, I found this finally:
http://projectdiva.wikispaces.com/
It will help as I make my way through the game.
And, after using the Mini Controller I dig it! It is totally cute...just like the game. I put it on a table and I'm about two feet away from my 40" TV for an arcade experience. I'm happy I went with the black.
Those are really quick disconnects on the buttons? Wow, I'm kind of shocked. I figured they'd be soldered to a PCB, just like on the Fighting Sticks. That said, there isn't any sort of replacement button we can order right now, is there...?
I don't think there are any replacements. And the switches look proprietary. I compared to my other buttons and they appear smaller switches. Starcreator knows about these things and could probably answer. Hori seems to have gone with quick-diconnects now, even on the cheaper sticks. The mini is still a budget stick, with maybe a $15 premium for the specialized buttons. The thing is adorable. It is totally cute sitting in my gameroom among all those other big ass sticks. I've got some pretty heavy-hitter sticks and it holds its own. I think it is those fancy dome buttons!
I actually found the in-game tutorial pretty good. It basically teaches you everything you need to know even if you don't understand Japanese (enough symbols to show you what to do).
So it being 30fps is pretty much confirmed now, what a shame...And I'm hearing that it too lacks leaderboards, just like the Vita version...
Sega must really not want the ports to eat away at the arcade version's userbase/popularity or something.
Yeah, I noticed this as well when I played the demo. I would have gotten a Great in Tokyo Teddybear on Hard on my first try had that not been an issue.
I think I'll just be sticking with the Vita one.

? It should be available on the track/module selections. You'll see the words EXTRA on the new selections. Unless you needed to have cleared the game before hand or something, but no idea on that.

I'm not seeing that. I haven't completed everything, so I suppose that could be it.
I have the game downloaded from PSN if it makes a difference.
EDIT: Hadn't updated yet, so that might be it.
Double edit: got it!

Gearing up to start another stream. Going to be testing out the arcade style controller today!
http://www.twitch.tv/starcreator
EDIT: All done, recording is here: http://www.twitch.tv/starcreator/b/376186071
I haven't opened the controller up yet, but everything looks to be pretty much the same from an external inspection. Besides the touchpad, the only addition is a second toggle switch on the control panel at the upper right, which is marked L/R. Presumably, it controls which analog stick the touchpad is mapped to.

I've read it unlocks after playing as Rin 50 times, but I haven't confirmed this yet...

Sadly, that wasn't the case. Maybe 100 times? Leveling her up in Diva Room? I'll try those.

To be sure, only plays on the PS3 version count. Play counts don't carry over from your Vita save.
Also, Project DIVA Wiki lists clearing Rin-chan Nau on Easy or Normal is also a requirement.

It's kind of a poor replacement for DIVA f (Vita)'s touchscreen notes. You basically swiped the screen up and down as if it were a DJ turntable. Both DIVA f and DIVA F give super wide leeway on the scratch notes so you'll always get Fine if you make a halfway decent attempt at it, but you should still aim to get Cool.
Chance Time always ends with a giant scratch note; you'll notice during Chance Time you are filling a star-shaped meter. If the meter is full AND you hit the big scratch note, you earn Chance Time Success, which changes the PV in some way.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Chance Time Success is a new mechanic for f/F. No other entry in the series has alternate outcomes based on Chance Time.

Looks like this person came up with a way to dampen the sound already. It's in Japanese but I don't think it's hard to figure out what he's doing based on photos: http://hijuki831.blog28.fc2.com/blog-entry-59.html
Looks like it could be the same style of switch you'd find on a 30mm button based on the size and the images from that Japanese link above - it's got the same style of plunger. Looks a little different from the one used in the Dreamy Theater 2nd controller though... maybe they're leftover Kuro switches?
I logged about ten hours on the stick and game on Sunday. Buttons worked fine for me...but was also using headphones and a mini DAC AMP.
Looks like that dude secured each button. I was thinking the vibration was coming from inside the button and a decent heavy-weight foam cut into a donut and inserted would dampen. It is nothing that has bothered me much yet, though.
Internal switches look small...at least to some Seimitsu buttons I have lying around....they might be similar without the extra plastic. I'll have to open some of my other Sanwa stick to more compare.
Turns out I only needed to play 1 more time with Rin (for a total of 52) to unlock her Future Style costume.
Get on dat Rimokon.

If you mean change the vocals for a song, you can't. Nothing you do affects the song audio.
When you unlock a module (costume), it appears in the shop, where you then have to purchase it for use with your DP (the points you earn for completing each song). Once it's purchased, it'll appear in the list of modules you can bring up by hitting the left-most button after selecting a song (alongside the PV and Play buttons).
Also, nitpick, but capitalization of the f matters. DIVA f is Vita. DIVA F is PS3.
Thanks for the note, I didn't realise
When I select a song from the song list, it brings up a list on the left side where it says Vocal 01, what is that list?

It just tells you who the vocalist for that song is, or if the song has multiple vocalists or just guest characters you can customize. Even if you change the module in that position, vocalist icons don't actually change.

I microwave steaks.
God, I am so weak. Ordered it after watching that video, I simply cannot resist another piece of plastic to add to my music peripheral collection. I was deluded into thinking I would buy the big one eventually but who am I kidding, that one costs a lot.

You should be able to update it just fine. Try restarting your Vita?

I don't have f yet, but I bought a code on Yahoo! Auctions to get it for 1500 yen off. 8000 yen will be enough for the game and all DLC. Payday can't come soon enough!
Just remembered that you need the cartridge in the unit to update, derp. Happened with Assassin's Creed Liberation too.

Weekly Diva Station has been focusing on Project DIVA Arcade for a while. This isn't stuff we'll see in the US unless the location test at Round 1 Puente Hills is a success, but here's the posts detailing the content being added in March:

Sweet...my Racing Miku 2012 figma just arrived:
Pairs well with the 2011 I got last month (is Racing Miku 2011 available in PS3 Project Diva F...?)
Hope to see Racing Miku 2013 show up in the games sometime too (and in figma form):

Yes. The games were announced at the same time, it can't be a coincidence.
Yay!! It came!!
What's that I see on the top of your game, looks like the Family Mart module. That's not a voucher to redeem said module is it?
Yay!! It came!!
Nice!! and fuck yeah family mart if so.

It is the voucher for the Family Mart module. My buddy in Japan hooked me up.

If you can wait until August, the store bonus listing states the module will be available as regular DLC by then.
