    Have you attempted to make contact with border customs?

    2 days is nothing. Start getting worried at a week and freaking out after a month.

    Yes, After you root it you can play pre-n64 stuff like a boss(software that comes with it is crap), because it uses android. Android emulators have come a long way and are almost as good as PC ones. BTW, N64 and PS1 stuff work, but the analog stick is for show. Its way cheaper than most hand helds too!

    Not every device can be 'rooted' hopefully it can. I had no trouble with my iPhone 4 bootleg so you might have some luck.
    Anyway let us know :encouragement:

    Anyhow, you're saying pre-N64 stuff... A PSP is cheaper and has just as good emulators..

    they hold things in our customs for 6-7 weeks sometimes... so don't worry.

    Is that your experience in Italy? I have heard many bad things about the customs there, but luckily I have never had any problems, even though I have sent many items there over the years. Maybe the fact that many of them were small enough to fit in a small-sized jiffy bag help them to pass through without being stopped?

    Glad to hear everything worked out for you.. Could be worse, you could be a UK citizen and have to deal with their customs.. I feel horrible for some people in certain countries, due to them getting taxed to receive a package.

    Which if everything wasn't made in China, would be the *right* thing to do. Go local.
