      Hello,

      I already have a SD 64GB with Retropie 4.3, I updated to 4.4 from the Retropie Setup, all works fine for now.
      My question is if I buy a Pi 3+ my actual SD 64GB will work fine as in the Pi 3 or I will have to start it all over again from zero?

      Thanks a lot

        @pindapoe you'll need to start from a fresh 4.4 as it's based on raspbian stretch.

          Thanks for your answer, just curious to know if it have sense to retain my old Pi 3, the new image raspbian stretch, will also work in the old Pi 3 or just will work in the Pi 3+?

            The new Raspbian Stretch based image will work on both models.

              For what it’s worth...I ftped into my pi and downloaded the entire rom directory and Bios directory. Reflashed the card with 4.4 and uploaded the rom and bios directories. It took some time, it was easy and it worked.

              Best bet, back up the entire card before you reflash so you have something to go back to.
