      @unitypunk Just to confirm, how many raspberries do you see on boot ?

        @unitypunk Yes I get that, but not this:
        the same sd card(s) that drop to command line in pi2b 1.2 will boot to emulationstation in my pi2b1.1 pie, and my pi3.

              @unitypunk If this card works on other Pis then you have either a broken Pi or not the Pi you think you have. So if you see one raspberry, you have the wrong image.

                  @unitypunk It says on it, Model B+ meaning Pi 1. Use the other image from the website for 0/1.

                    @rbaker The 2014 stamped on it also shows it can't be a 2 or 3.
