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.
