Incredible news, G3 gang! Previously unavailable and obscure, My Little Pony: Grand Puzzleventure is now playable!

Steps from Dandelion Sprout: 1) Download MAME. https://github.com/mamedev/mame/releases/download/mame0279/mame0279b_64bit.exe (32 bit version seems to be there? https://archive.org/details/mame0156-official-windows) 2) Run the downloaded EXE. 3) This will show a prompt to extract the files. Do this to a new folder, or else there'll suddenly be 20 new files cluttering the Downloads folder. 4) Download a ROM of the Grand Puzzleventure. A valid ROM is if it's a .7z or .zip that has a .u1 file inside. 5) There is no need to extract the .7z or .zip. 6) Open the MAME folder > "mame" folder > "roms" folder > paste the unzipped .7z/.zip in it. 7) Run MAME. 8) This launches a menu with many possible listed games. Go to "Year" > "2006" > scroll down alphabetic > select My Little Pony: Grand Puzzleventure. 9) If it shows specs and a warning about sound, then it works. Yay! 10) If it shows "Missing ROM/(…)", go back to step 5 and adjust the game's folder placement as often as needed.

Enjoy! <3

Notes from me: Windows: just run MAME Linux: you can try this: https://snapcraft.io/mame
