          Hello @mitu

          I installed it on a Pi 3B+ the way with formating a used SD card, with etcher, but when I inputed it on the Television screen all happened was a coloured screen with a (charging) storm icon. No animation or anithing.

          Sincerly,

          @LynchHack

            @lynchhack The lightning bolt means that the Pi is not receiving the required voltage - your power source is not providing correct/enough power to the Pi. Use a proper power supply and you should be fine (. More details on the product page or on the product announcement page.

              @LynchHack @mitu the lightning bolt and rainbow on a pi 3b+ has nothing to do with voltage. It means you need retropie 4.4 or newer which uses raspbian stretch.
