Think you have to "tap and hold" on the area you want to copy. If you are bored of typing each character then try "Swype Keyboard". It should already be installed, or grab it from the Play store.

I loved the look of the SNES / NES system and prefer to play from the carts but its to hard to find games and decent controllers (at a good price!). I use my PC connected to the TV and run emulators :mrgreen: allows me to play street fighter, zelda and the likes! I also use the Wii Virtual console, Bomberman on that is awesome!

I'll have a little more time to play around with it tonight. It's been crazy at work since Christmas so I haven't had much time. I really like it though. I got the Samsung because we got the kid an ipad and I like the expandable memory on the Galaxy. I can just ground her from her ipad when I need to use it.

Me- What do you think you're doing young lady?!

Kid- Nothing. I'm just sitting here quietly playing a game.

Me- Are you back talkin' me! That's it you're grounded. Gimme the ipad!

Ahh, it's good to wield complete executive power. :mrgreen:

That works for the NES but not the SNES :roll: .

Dip a Qtip in alcohol (rubbing, not Wild Turkey American Honey because that would be a terrible party foul) and run it along the contacts. You can do the inside of the machine as well, but be very careful not to drip it anywhere else in there. :wink:

Well, then just blow in it... If that doesn't work - drop back and punt.

I'm guessing without doing any investigating that the N64 is the '3'? If so...even more cool!

that would be cool too. Don't have a single sega game so I'm guessing I wouldn't need to go that far :lol: . Just wishing I wouldn't have let them sit as long as they did before trying to hook em back up again. Someday to find a nice used xbox and ps3 would be good too...always have a game or two that would be nice to mess with but just can't seem to validate the $ for a game or two.

on another hand its not as bad as a guy I know doin the rc thing who collects fullsize vintage arcade games :wink:
