            It's in the same post as the link to download the image. Please read the details on the post. Menu 4 of raspi-config. I also mentioned it in my post above!

              Newb here too, just bought the 3 model B+ and the retro pi just boots to a colorful image. If i write Stretch to it, it boots up fine. I tried to download the beta retropie-4.3.15-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz but it doesn't show up as image file option in Win32Diskmanager. I'm missing something and not sure what.

                        @lou It's detailed in the 1st post where the Stretch image is posted:

                        WiiFi is disabled until wireless regulatory domain is set (Pi 3 B+ only)
                        The domain can be done through 'Raspberry Pi Configuration' (rc_gui),
                        raspi-config or by setting 'country=' to an appropriate ISO 3166
                        alpha2 country code in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
