How to do it
It's a pretty easy and straight forward process:
  • Open a game, any game will do but it should preferably be something with well telegraphed animations, I'm using Super Mario Bros. 3 with QuickNES core
  • Stand somewhere safe then press 'P' on your keyboard to pause the game
  • Next, while the game is still paused press and hold the jump button, or any other action if you're playing something else.
  • While still holding the action button click the 'Frameadvance' button, 'K' by default
  • Count how many clicks you make till the character starts moving
  • In my case it's 2 clicks.
  • Open the Quick Menu and go down to the Latency setting

  • Turn on the 'Run-Ahead to Reduce Latency' setting
  • Change the 'Number of Frames to Run-Ahead' to the amount of clicks you counted - 1, so in my case that's 2 clicks - 1 = 1

  • Resume playing your game.
  • ?????
  • Profit

There is a new, "preemptive frames" function that is supposedly better:

You been scammed by RetroArch. This app doesn't allow you to play retro games.

holy hell this worked, I thought I was having a tough time with the inputs in something like pokemon, like I thought it was an intentional delay, this helped! Thanks.

It's insane, using this I got such a low input lag that I finally feel, after about 20 years, that I am playing with the same delay (or even less) than a CRT. The SNES by the way has a natural input delay that I believe this "run ahead" function helps mitigate, so it's probably even better than playing on a CRT, as long as you have a "gamer" monitor with extremely fast response time.

I use the Nintendo Switch on this same monitor and the input lag I encounter in games like Mario Maker 2 is so big compared to what I get using "run ahead" from retroarch that it will be hard to go back to that game.

this won't improve FPS or remove stutter, it only affects the duration between you pressing a button and the action appearing on screen

So basically this is supposed to make the game run better right?

You've Forgot To Mention That The Retroarch Input Config Is Already Settled For Late Default Input In The Config System, If You Switch The Config To Normal, You Can Reduce The Input Lag Even More :steamthumbsup::cocochan2:
