RPI 3B+ boot issues

Hello,
I installed the 3.X version on my SD-card on my RPI3 model B+ and get 4 slow red flashed followed by 4 fast red flashes. Also ran into this issue with v3.7.
Now I downloaded the official RPI OS to rule out an issue with my PI and this seems to be working fine.
Does anyone run into the same issue or do I need the newest version of the Arpicade software?

I used Etcher by the way on a 32GB uSD card.

Not sure whats going wrong for you there. 3.X the right (and current, excepting it's add-on 3.X.1 update) version for your board, 3.7 wouldn't work as it pre-dates the 3B+.
It's worth retrying 3.X, may have just been bad luck with the imaging the first time (no idea why).

Well, you're right. I reimaged the correct version 3.X but I imaged it to the wrong drive. Had a memory stick next to my uSD card and flashed the memory stick. The uSD card was still holding the 3.7 version which of course didn't function in the PI3.
Thanks for your support.

Glad you're up and running.
I hope you didn't have anything important on the memory stick.

Version 3.X image file was on there (the ZIP, so I unzipped it first to my harddrive)
