      Hi,

      I'm not super tech savy, so pardon if this is obvious,
      But, will I be able to simply pop my SD card/ image from my Pi 3 into the Pi3 + ?
      I'm hoping it will work out of the gate, but I know some hardware changes on the wifi and such have been made.

      Any thoughts or has anyone tried this yet?

          I'd probably wait until Retropie is updated with official 3b+ support.

            @sgtjimmyrustles You will still need to install from a fresh image (It would be possible to update from Jessie to Stretch manually, but it's quicker to backup roms/configsm write the image and restore imho)

            You can use this image https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16307/retropie-4-3-15-stretch-images-for-testing/ - it will become the next RetroPie image (with a few bugfixes if there are any issues we missed)
