Trading is a very important feature in pokemon games because it allows players to mix records with others as well as making some pokemon evolve (kadabra to alakazam, etc.). With this guide, you will be able to trade pokemon from different roms, trade items and even duplicate items… FIRST: –>Download the .ini files and the vbalink files –>Unzip them in a new folder (e.g. vbalink) –>Copy the rom/s of the pokemon game to the vbalink folder (e.g. Emerald.gba, Ruby.gba) –>Copy the save files for your progress to the vbalink folder (e.g. Emerald.sa1, Ruby.sa1) –>The folder should contain: Emerald.gba, Ruby.gba, Emerald.sa1, Ruby.sa1, vba.ini, vba1.ini, vba2.ini & VisualBoyAdvance.exe
SECOND –>Make sure to rename the other save file to ".sa2" because it is the second instance of the emulator –>By now, the vbalink folder should contain: Emerald.gba, Ruby.gba, Emerald.sa1, Ruby.sa2, vba.ini, vba1.ini, vba2.ini & VisualBoyAdvance.exe –>Run the VBA.exe and open the first rom that’s inside the vbalink folder(Emerald.gba) –>If you get the message "The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed", the reasons are: –You selected the wrong ROM. Make sure you opened the one in the gbalink folder, not another one –You did not rename the .sav file to .sa1 properly. If you close the emulator now, it will create one for you which you must delete first. –You are already running an instance or more of VBA. Close all other instances first. –If all of the above doesnt work, go to Options>Emulator>Save Type and select Flash 128k or 64k depending on which one is already ticked. Select the other one. Now close the emulator, reopen it and try again.
THIRD –>Open the VBA.exe for the second time and load the second rom (Ruby.gba) from the vbalink folder –>Make sure that under Options>Emulator "Pause when inactive window" is NOT ticked. –>The controls for the first emulator are as follows: Up: W Down: S Left: A Right: D A: Q B: E SELECT: Z START: Q –>The controls for the second emulator are as follows: Up: T Down: G Left: F Right: H A: R B: Y SELECT: V START: B
FOURTH –>After trading, copy the save files(.sa1, .sa2) from the vbalink folder and overwrite the original .sa1/.sa2 file –>For security reasons, it is better to save a copy of the original .sa1/.sa2 file to serve as backup in case something bad happens –>Remember to rename them back to the original file name (change the .sa2 to .sa1)
xxxThis guide works in Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Leaf Green, Fire Red versions of Pokemon. You can also trade by using one save file, just rename the second one to .sa2 and it will allow you to duplicate your pokemon or items.xxx
When I was a little boy I swore that I would change the world when I grew up nothing else would be enough back then it all seemed black and white but these days I just can’t seemed to find the child in me who always believed
I see it every day We settle for safe And lose ourselves along the way
But if we don’t Dream Big What’s the use in dreaming If you don’t have faith there’s nothing worth believing It takes one hope To make the stars worth reaching for So reach out for something more
Took a while to perfect a plan for me to finally understand that it’s not me faith is something you can’t see I loose the reins and let them go I broke the chains of fear that had their hold on me too long when all I felt was wrong
I’ve wiped my tears away now it’s time for a change No, I can’t waste another day
But if we don’t Dream Big What’s the use in dreaming If you don’t have faith there’s nothing worth believing It takes one hope To make the stars worth reaching for So close your eyes and tell me what you see between what’s real and make believe here’s the path we’ve all been searching for so reach out for something more
than you could ever imagine then move don’t wait for it to happen life’s too short for not taking chances the stars aren’t as far as they seem

One of my most favorite song throughout the season 7 of American Idol… I really liked how David Cook sang it… Although David changed some parts of the song but that’s what made it unique… You can download David Cook’s live performance of the song here… I’m still waiting for the studion version
High School Musical 3: Senior Year is the latest addition to the famous High School Musical franchise. Kenny Ortega is the director and choreographer just like in the previous HSM. All of the six main casts from the last two films will also retain their roles. The main plot of the film will be the difficulties encountered by Zac and Gabriella as they face the reality that they will be separated from each other when they go off their different ways. They will stage a spring musical that would represent their hopes, experiences, and fears about the future. In addition to the casts, new casts are added to the film which includes Matt Prokop, Justin Martin & Jemma McKenzie-Brown. Originally, the plan was to create a Halloween themed film entitled "Haunted High School Musical" but the theme was changed to the concept of the Senior Year. It has also been said that Zac Efron is being offered a salary closer to $3 million for the movie. As of May 3, 2008, they have already started filming at East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah. Despite the rumor that Vanessa Hudgens was taken out from HSM, she will still retain the role as Gabriella. The movie will be released in October 24, 2008.

It has been reported recently that both badminton and Judo are going to be axed after the Olympics in Beijing. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) still has to deliberate on this issue. They said that by dropping badminton and judo, the Olympics would be more appealing since it would be replaced by other sports such as croquet, rugby union, polo, rackets and chess. A sport can be in the Olympics if it is played by men in at least 50 countries on 3 continents and by women in at least 35 countries on 3 continents. According to Dr. Latot Toidi, an international sports expert of the OIC, "Badminton and judo are known only in a few countries. Very few people elsewhere are interested in them,". Laer Diputs of the International Croquet Federation also said that "Unlike judo, croquet has a distinguished and civilized history," and "It’s also not like badminton where you simply run around wildly, hitting back and forth. Croquet is very competitive and depends on a combination of physical skill and careful strategy. Most of all, success depends on a cool assessment of risks and probabilities, yes, much like chess." Other sports still waiting for a place in the Olympics include golf, wushu and karate. Personally, I do not like the idea of removing both sports in the Olympics, especially badminton because it is a very popular sport in the Philippines. The way badminton was described (running around wildly) sounded like an insult to the sport because being a badminton enthusiast myself, I know that it also requires the ability to outsmart opponents. Perhaps this decision is a little affected by the fact that Asians generally dominate the sport. I really hate this news because badminton is one of the sports that I really look out for during Olympics.
