GoldenEye 007 XBLA(remaster) - 100% "Speedrun" - Xbox Series X(Xenia emulator)
11I put the "Speedrun" in quotes because while my goal is to complete everything as fast as I can, I'm not trying to complete anything as fast as possible.
I mainly only use my own tactics. Some levels I will take noticeably slower than others.
I haven't even seen an actual 100% speedrun, but I know there's bunch of glitches and exploits you could use.
I'm not trying to properly learn to speedrun this game. I'd hate to get sick of a game I love as much as this.
Just tried this for fun. For now I think I'm finally done.
This was my 7th attempt at a full 100% run(3rd with 0 failed missions). The first two were about 1h 56min each. After those each were a little faster than the previous run.
I don't expect anyone to actually watch these, but I did upload every run. Because after each run I didn't think I'd get a better one.
So here's a week worth runs:

-This would have been an improvement over the first, but I messed up thinking Objective A was completed in Caverns. Only realized it near the end. That was bad... But worst mistake was thinking I would be able to go back for it and still finish the level in time to unlock the cheat. Lost about 10 minutes because of that.

-This was the first I was going to publish thinking I wouldn't get a better one. That's why it has all the timestamps/chapters.

#5 https://youtu.be/szSam9WQnBI
-This was the first I managed to do without a single mission fail. In runs after this I wouldn't accept fails anymore. Not even a quick restart after a mistake in beginning of a mission.

-I was going to be done after this one, but the last 15-ish minutes has really annoying audio issues(recording issues, not emulation). So I did it one more time. And managed to improve about 2 more minutes.
At the very beginnning you can see that Facility is already unlocked.
That's because I decided to not delete the save file every time Dr. Doak was in wrong location.
Because deleting the save is very inconvenient.
-Exit the emulator
-Start another app which connects pc to xbox
-Locate/delete the save file
-Restart emulator
-Restart goldeneye(which took about 1 minute in the previous version of Xenia. Now it's about 10-15 seconds)
-Change in-game settings(widescreen and control stuff)...
I did do this everytime until the last day. And even then only up to Facility.
But it doesn't matter anyway, because Dam plays exactly the same whether it's already completed or not.
This version is the 2007-2008 cancelled unfinished remaster for Xbox 360. It leaked online 2021.
It can be played through modded Xbox 360(real hardware, no emulation) or Xenia emulator on PC/Xbox Series consoles.
Rom can be found online. Can't provide a link for that. But once you have it I'd recommend patching it with http://n64vault.com/ge-xbla-tools:community-edition-updater.
It fixes a lot of grapgical issues and improves the game.
There are still some missing/old/glitching textures. Jungle has invisible walls instead of a fence similiar to Surface levels. Menu music is gone once you go back, no pause/elevator music, no X-tracks.
This is still easily my favorite way to play GoldenEye 007. It just feels so good.
Things I miss from the official Xbox release are single button for previous weapon, rebindable buttons and "Aim Lock".

Also done in one go, but speed wasn't the goal. Except obviously with the cheat unlocks.
Includes a lot of graphic comparisons.
