There are three things you can do to reduce input latency for GoldenEye XBLA in Xenia. I cut off about a third of a second of input latency with these steps.
To disable Vsync and enable low-latency mode: Go do Documents > Xenia Open xenia-settings.toml (or xenia-settings-canary.toml if you're using canary) Make sure vsync is set to false Open the Nvidia control panel and go to program settings, add xenia.exe Find Vsync and force that off Enable "low latency mode"
To enable high-performance mode in Windows 10: Click the start button, then click settings Go to System, then scroll all the way down and click Graphics settings Click "Browse" then add xenia.exe. Enable High-performance mode if you can.
Note that disabling vsync is only a good idea for specific games, and this happens to be one of them. If you're playing another game like Perfect Dark XBLA, the game will run much faster than it should. This is because disabling vsync removes the framerate cap set by the emulator. However, it doesn't affect GoldenEye XBLA because the game is capped at 60 frames per second regardless. There is no speed advantage to disabling vsync for this game, it just reduces input latency at the cost of having more screen tearing.
If you're using AMD hardware, unfortunately I'm not able to help much. Just disable vsync in xenia-settings.toml and enable high performance mode. Hopefully that works well enough for you, or maybe AMD has a similar low-latency mode you can enable yourself.
A recent update was made to the rules regarding the use of the Community Edition (CE) of Goldeneye XBLA which adds some bug fixes and other modifications.
The mod team decided that the Community Edition (CE) is now permitted for speedruns as some people have said that it is the only version which
