This is NOT BULGARIAN language it is Serbian.  Just because he is from Bulgaria does not mean he is writing in Bulgaria.

Well since he is writing in the Roman alphabet, it could be Croatian language too.  Bulgarian is written in Cyrillic alphabet, and Serbian typically is too. 

Fun (non gaming) fact:  The southern Slavic languages run on a dialect continuum of sorts, so the dialects on the border of Serbian and those on the border of Bulgaria are sort of a mixed language, and are a bit more mutually intelligable than standard Croatian is to Bulgarian (though there is a lot more transparencey in the Slavic languages than say English is to German or Dutch, for example).  Also, there are some differences between Serbian, Croatian, etc, but to an outsider of the country, these differences are very minor and not something to get hung up about.

I need to clean my SMW Famicom pirate with that, and see if it will work as I get a similar screen as you did with yours.
