I’m new here, can anyone help me? (Pi 3B+ Won't Boot)

@lou use this image https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16307/retropie-4-3-15-stretch-images-for-testing

It should work fine - I use it myself. Note the comments regarding enabling wifi.

if it doesn't work you may have not written it correctly - you can post here with more details after writing it etc.

@lou you need to set your wifi localisation from raspi config. This is detailed in other forum threads

I will look around for the info and try it out at the week end, and report back

Thank you everyone :3

It's in the same post as the link to download the image. Please read the details on the post. Menu 4 of raspi-config. I also mentioned it in my post above!

Newb here too, just bought the 3 model B+ and the retro pi just boots to a colorful image. If i write Stretch to it, it boots up fine. I tried to download the beta retropie-4.3.15-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz but it doesn't show up as image file option in Win32Diskmanager. I'm missing something and not sure what.

@noranni Extract the .img file with winrar or any other compatible decompressor.

@darksavior facepalm I cleared my downloads folder and started fresh, extracted and there it was. Thank you. Was also able to get the wifi configured. I appreciate this thread.

@noranni etcher saves you the trouble of extraction ;)

lou

@noranni could you help me with the WiFi? How did you do it?

@lou It's detailed in the 1st post where the Stretch image is posted:

WiiFi is disabled until wireless regulatory domain is set (Pi 3 B+ only)
The domain can be done through 'Raspberry Pi Configuration' (rc_gui),
raspi-config or by setting 'country=' to an appropriate ISO 3166
alpha2 country code in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
