      Hi there.

      Just got the 3 B+ and popped my retropie card from my B into it. It's stuck on this screen. Thoughts guys?

        @darksider as I understand it, the 3b+ is only compatible with raspian stretch not Jessie (which is what the current retropie image is based on). At this point the retropie image based on raspian stretch is still in beta. There is probably a place to download the beta image I'm sure, but I would be aware that it's not complete and most likely has bugs.

          @DarkSider quicksilver is right. You can't just swap sd cards from a different version pi into the 3B+. You need to install a new image onto it to work.

          Here is the beta:

            Is there anyway to update my current image without having to start completely fresh?
            I really like this build.

                Thank you kindly for your help folks.
                One more question, if I make a new image with "stretch" -
                Can I use that card in both my Pi 3 B and Pi 3 B +?
