The founder of Hamster Translations, a translation group from Bulgaria. You ever heard of Baba Vanga? The Rose Valley? The Bulgarian yogurt? No? Well, that's what you may know this country for.

I got into ROM hacks about four years ago. I immediately wanted to make my own ones, but thought this requires too much skills for a layman like me.

But one day someone showed me how to change the color of Mario's overalls in SMB1 by just opening some program called a hex editor and replacing these two numbers. That completely blew my mind! Graphical hacks is where I started from, since these are the easiest to make. Then I learned how to edit text, levels...

I am also a linguist at heart, so I combined the interest in romhacking with this passion and started translating games, with the help of my brother (KaptainAlexander). I was also collaborating with another group, AdventurersBG.

As of now, I lost interest, but am trying to share the Bulgarian patches everywhere I can.
