I am not by any means an SMW expert but lately I've developed a keen interest on the SMW romhack scene.

If what you want to do is extract a level and/or play around with level creation the golden standard tool is Lunar Magic [0].

There are some forums with information about rom hacking, level creation, music creation and so on for SMW, like SMWCentral [1].

I'm replying (I hope) just in time to wish you luck with your talk, which seemed to me, as a mathematician, incredibly interesting.

Also I'd like to wish you luck with your endeavors!

For other people confused about the meaning of BP in this context, it means Benjamin Pierce Fellow.

It appears this talk was given in the context of the Benjamin Pierce Centennial Conference:
