      @alturis I don't have a new model available, but leaving aside the new hardware support, it should work - as in it would boot up and the OS would run.
      EDIT: seems I'm wrong, it won't work, so the Stretch image is the way to go.

        @mitu @Alturis I would want to believe that that's the case, but some reports online suggest otherwise.

        I have received mine, just haven't had the chance to open them and plug them in, though I'll hopefully try during the weekend or so.

        Would love to hear some reports from others who might have received theirs.

          I can confirm that a "lift and drop" of your existing Pi3 sd card will not work. It will just display the "rainbow screen" and a voltage warning indicator. I've just tested it now....

          Edit: the image I tested though was a non-updated 4.3 image. So running a full update may yield better results!

          Using the 4.3.15 Stretch image, all looks good to me (so far). For WiFi you'll need to configure the location in Raspi-Config.

            @tashman Thank you for the report.

            Indeed I was also greeted by the rainbow screen.

            I wonder if I try an update and see how it fares, or if I go straight to the new image. Might do the latter.

                what happens when you run an update from a Beta version?

                  i made a compatibility layer for the 3b+ to run on debian jessie 8 / retropie 4.3 :-P but im opened to teamwork with retropie devs to mainstream the fix in retropie updates.

                        @auswear it's a video showcasing a third party build which is against the forum rules.

                        Last I checked your name wasn't on the project so of course you aren't concerned, but as for me I'd prefer to avoid the lawyers and those that continue to condone besmirching the project with their pirated garbage

                          @push28 Why would anyone want to fix anything for jessie unless you're some noob pirate that knows enough to only run 3rd party images that are...all on jessie. Everyone's moving on to stretch.

                            @BuZz Hi thanks for the new image, on the version of 16th March I was able to port my setup to Stretch with the B+ and all is working notably: ES w/ PSX + kodi + the desktop (although could not find the desktop in the menu from the script so had to install manually) + paired to official PS3 contoller.

                            Thanks for the hard work.

                              I got the B+ today and am about to start testing the beta image.
                              Is there a way to carry over my roms and scrapes or do I need to do that manually again?

                                Should be a good start. Do share your experiences there as you go through it.

                                  @dirthurts said in RetroPie 4.3.15 Stretch images for testing:

                                  As an aside this is why I keep my roms and scrapes on a USB. Makes swapping out Pi's real easy.

                                    @bennyprofane how did you plug in your PS3 controller? Was it recognized immediately over USB, or did you have to install the ps3controller drivers for it?

                                    Nevermind, sorted.

                                      So, I'm + is up and running.
                                      Anyone else find that games are launching very slowly? I didn't know if it's the image or perhaps my SD card is going bad.

                                        @dirthurts I don't find any meaningful difference in the loading speed, but I'm running them from a USB stick.

                                        All seemed to go well. Paired my PS3 controller via the Bluetooth menu, without the PS3controller driver.

                                        All good so far.

                                          Following an unusual batch of topic about USB mounting, I did some research.
                                          For information, It seems that usbmount is currently broken on raspbian Stretch.
                                          See here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=192291 for example.

                                            @sano I'll certainly test ours, but we ship with a custom usb mount so it may not be the same problem. Will test on stretch though.
