Details in the description, thank you for your time.

one of the biggest project diva brotips is do not wait until you're stuck on a hard/extreme chart and actually mad at it to realize you should have been playing with both hands the entire time. i found it's really easy to slip into doing that. the portable charts are so easy you can beat normal charts one-handed. you can FC easy charts with your feet. forcing yourself to use the D-pad late-game feels like you hit a hundred foot wall in skill level.

If you are playing them on emulators/modded PSP's and Vita's you might as well try them all. Here is the summary:

Project Diva, PSP: Definitely worth a play. Very, very easy and simple. It's rustic, soulful. Doesn't even use the D-pad. No arrows, nothing extra. Just the four face buttons.

Project Diva 2nd & Project Diva Extend, PSP:
If you are not paying for them, no reason not to play both. But if you had to pick one Extend will be the one to play. Closer to modern Diva gameplay, uses the D-Pad now and charts can get really insane at higher difficulties. Great song selection as well. Plenty of modules. Some DLC you can even track down still.

Dreamy Theater, Dreamy Theater 2nd&Extend, PS3;
Don't worry about this. It's a shame, it's a really fun game. HD graphics, 60FPS ports of all the PSP games on PS3 but in order to "activate" the game you need to connect your PSP to a real console and it's a nightmare to do. I have the save files though from when I did it and they will work on emulators if you want them. But the original Dreamy Theater always needs a PSP connected and I don't know a work around for that, but you can play 2nd&Extend off a save file.

Project Diva F & F2nd Vita, PS4:
Play both. Excellent games, the bread and butter of Project Diva. Excellent song selection, gameplay, everything. I recommend them on Vita over PS3 due to the framerate issues on PS3 and I prefer the Vita controls over a DS3. I'd struggle to pick one vs. the other. I think most people generally agree that F2nd was much harder. The only Diva game that a Jin song appears in as well.

Project Diva X Vita, PS4:
The black sheep of the Diva family. Personally? I love X but they added a bullshit 'story mode' and everyone including me hated it but the song selection is decent and the 60FPS gameplay appreciated. PS4 or Vita but I still prefer Vita.

Project Diva Future Tone, PS4:
The be all, end all Project Diva. An almost 1:1 port of the arcade game. Miku's magnum opus. Buy it. Buy all the DLC (except the module unlock one) and enjoy for years to come. Over 200 songs and if you want to play on an arcade pad it's ready to go for even more entertainment.

Project Diva MegaMix/Mega39's Switch:
Port of FT to Switch. Generally, a fair port but it has plenty of issues and lots of it feels like they didn't handle it with care. If you have FT on PS4 this is worth a skip unless you absolutely need it to be portable.

Same. Only wholoids deserve to die.

I really hope that isn't the only arcade gameplay we see. Because I actually wanted to see it in action; I've pre ordered one of those.

I heard FT JP got a new update for the controller. Anyone able to take a picture of the update history for me? Curious to see what it says and if there was anything else in the new update.

Play Project Diva

Okay, finally did the swap.

Sanwa switches are definitely better. Wasn't sure if I liked them at first, but I figured it out. I had to step down from my 200g springs to the 100g after the new switches.

The 200g spring weight was a crutch to compensate for the really short break of the stock FT switches, once I swapped them with real switches it became too much resistance.

100g let's you use your fingers to dance across buttons gently if you need to do complex button arrangements but still has enough reset to get you through fast strings and the break point helps a lot with triples and spams.

That's all I've got. Let me know if you have questions and I can try to help. If you have a FT controller you should definitely consider upgrading it. The parts cost is under $60 especially if you cheap out on shipping.

Okay! I got the new springs and upgraded my Hori Future Tone Controller!

It was actually really easy once I figured it out. I know one or two of you were curious if it would work and it does and it absolutely makes a huge different. Songs that I struggled with before are so much easier now, I can do spams and triples with so little effort and I'm actually playing extreme songs now because I can keep up with the speeds without exhausting my fingers trying to brute force my way through. The reset time really matters.

So for starters I used these springs:

I'm using the 200g springs but you should get both 100g and 200g and pick which you like best.

I also got new switches:

I haven't done the switches yet so that's optional, I gotta change the connectors and since I don't want to modify it I'm going to get adapters but aside those contacts the rest of it is just drop in.

So, all you do is unscrew the bottom lid to get inside. On the base of each button you squeeze the retention clips, push them out and push the switch into the button. Once you do that, you can use the little clear tabs on the bubbles to take apart the button. Once that's done all you have to do is replace the springs and reassemble it.

I can provide pictures or help if anyone get stuck doing it but just take it slow and you'll be able to figure it out easy without breaking it.

It's a game changer if you're using on these controllers. Worth the price of the upgrade for sure.

Start with getting a more sturdy stand. I personally wouldnt be able to stand playing with it jiggling that much.
