Yep, yet again another authors request post.
You've all probably noticed again that the blog is slowly dieing out by having maximum 2 or 3 posts per day which is pretty bad but what can I do, unfortunatelly I cannot dedicate my whole time of my life on the blog posting all day as I'm busy with other projects and ofcourse I need breaks from the computer.
If you have free time on your hands, have nothing better to do and got interesting stuff to share to the Galaxy Y community, then feel free to request author rights by visiting this page.
You can find all the information, terms and requirements there.
Hello everyone. I want to apologize for the huge inactivity for these 3 days as I do not have any internet connection at home and my ISP are being dicks and won't come at home to fix up my wires. I promise I'll make it up with the content loss once I get back. Will be soon.

You should be familiar with the word Emulator. Such can be found a lot around the internet for your computer, but did you know that there are also a few for Android? Today in this video I am going to show you the emulator called GameBoid which will let you play Gameboy Advanced ROMs of games.
Now before we begin, let's download some stuff.
1. Download the GameBoid app, you can find it on the SlideMe market, link: http://slideme.org/application/gameboid

3. Watch the video for the complete instructions:
Feel free to post any questions if you are having trouble setting this up.
So what do we need?
Only one thing, foil. It can be from a cigarette box, it can be from chocolate, etc.
1. Cut a piece of foil and make it's form as shown in the picture below:
