Its easy to do, and can be used to transfer overworlds between hacks.

1.) Download ExGFX
2.) Give ExGFX bin files to folder called ExGFX and rename it to "ExGFXxx.bin
3.) Give Map16 files to folder with your hack.
4.) Open hack in LM.
5.) Insert ExGFX.

Cut it in half. Then opened up the half with the big tree in a program called Irfanview. Then I used the color reduction tool, and made it 4bit (16 colors). Then copied the screen into Paint, and cut it up into ExGFX files the right size that SMW can handle. Then imported it.

I had 1 of 2 options:

1. Have it grainy like it is.
2. Have it "smeared" I guess you could say, so that the colors are grouped together like a bad looking gradient.

I used irfanview because I hate the Map167k thing LM has. And to use Map167k, I needed to use pic2snes. It always cuts my image in half (unless its a very small image. It even cuts 128x128 images in half. They are half the size required too). Also, it spreads the image tiles out over the 4 FG/BG files, and also sometimes over the sprites! On top of that I don't know how to save graphics from LM to an ExGFX file. I have tried Map167k toutrials, none help me. Including yours Ice Man.

So you can use these files I have here, or you can try to rip it yourself. If you do, good luck. Sorry the resolution and all that aren't better.
