mistercon (the MiSTer FPGA Android app) version 2.x
Sio and I are currently working on the next major release of the app, and we've written up a post going over the main new features at http://www.patreon.com/tatsutron. We want to devote as much time to it as we possibly can, so we're promoting it before it's done in the hopes of financing the ability to not take odd jobs to make ends meet (our "story" or whatevs is in the "About" section of the Patreon). The GitHub repo is at https://github.com/tatsutron/mistercon. The app is free(*) to use and there is an Android APK attached to each GitHub release at https://github.com/tatsutron/mistercon/releases.

Today was a good day
But, by launcher, I meant the ability to have a way to browse games with screenshots, and then go, 'yeah i wanna play this one' and then hit a button and it just opens on your MiSTer. Ideally something you can have with you without getting up, so like a phone app. I tried https://github.com/tatsutron/mistercon but it's super clunky, and doesn't have arcade screenshots.

Thinking about a MISTer to replace my Pi3 in my mame arcade cabinet. I know very little to nothing about them. Can they be set up to silent boot?
The MiSTer may be better gameplay wise because of the input latency the interface is far more simpler and barebones but works. You can boot straight to a core but it may show a loading screen for a second or two you can power down and shutdown power without any problems. MiSTer is more like an appliance, the Pi is a mini computer and far more prone to corruption on power shutoff. That being said MiSTer does have the SAM attract mode script and MiSTer can be controlled by your smartphones.. I would say with the NeoGeo support, CPS 1-2 and CAVE not to mention PS1 MiSTer is already awesome. TMNT and Mortal Kombat are both being worked on not to mention Saturn support as well. To my knowledge no one has ever regretted getting a MiSTer. All it has done has become more useful and more valuable. I made a daemonbite arcade stick with a real coin mech and it is awesome and practically lagless on the MiSTer. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Is there a visual guide to arcade cores?

Update All what to download and what not to?
It plays random games from your library while your Mister is idle. Here is more info on the project: https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM

Any recommended scripts or tools that aren't part of Update_All?
Been discovering cool things the community has come up with like the S-video cores (https://github.com/MikeS11/MiSTerFPGA_YC_Encoder), custom boot screens for some cores (https://github.com/uberyoji/mister-boot-roms), or the SAM script (https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM). Was wondering if anyone wanted to shout out any other cool downloadables or side projects that aren't available through the main Update or Update All scripts.

For anyone here with an original cabinet converted to a MAME cabinet with a Raspberry Pi, how are you connecting the Pi to the arcade CRT?
I think it's possible for someone to write a 3rd-party frontend, but the mainline MiSTer devs don't seem interested in it themselves. There's a 3rd-party attract mode implementation, but I don't know of one for core/ROM selection yet: https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM
