      @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.

            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.

                @push28 what was the fix and why was it removed by admin?

                  @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:

                            Is there a way to carry over my roms and scrapes or do I need to do that manually again?

                            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.

                                        Working great on my non + B. Though in testing this I've come across something I don't understand, and this is probably a newbie thing so I apologize.

                                        On my Jessie build, in lr-mame2010, it's missing the ability to remap controls like I can in lr-mame2003 (Retroarch GUI - "Controls", after "Save Game Remap File"). I've tried uninstalling the 2010 core and reinstalling it, but nothing gives me the options that lr-mame2003 has in Controls. But after downloading this Stretch build, suddenly I have those options back. Is this specific to the Stretch binaries or am I missing something fundamental on my Jessie build?

                                        Screenshots added for illustration.
