Going from Pi2 to Pi3
-
I have retropie 3.6 running on a raspberry pi 2 and I just bought a pi 3. Can I just take the SD card out of the pi 2 and put it in the 3 without any changes?
Thanks

@taa800 Yes. It works perfectly.

please backup everything you can not lose before you do this

@rbaker I just got my Pi3 and tried swapping the card and all I got was a screen that had a lot of colors on it. It never booted an OS. I put the card back in my 2 and it worked fine. Any thoughts?

@taa800 I did just that and no issues for me. The images you download are for the pi2 and pi3. What power supply are you using? To run a pi3, you need a supply rated at 2.5A
This was my order....
Shut down the system correctly.
Remove SD card
Replace Pi
Insert SD card.I don't know what else to suggest other than looking at the LED indicators. Are they showing a boot sequence? What display? I'm not using HDMI, maybe something to look at there. You mention that you are stuck on the Rainbow Screen. Have a look at....https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=55464
