Description

This is a weird issue, but if you play the first level of Sin and Punishment, the camera is supposed to have neat panning effects to show you the enemies. However in the Parallel core it just stays right behind you. This doesn't affect the fight too much, but you do miss out on some interesting visuals. You can easily tell just from the first second of gameplay. On console, the camera pans down to the player at the start. On Parallel it sticks to the origin. You can easily test this by comparing it to the Mupen64Plus Next core which emulates this effect correctly. Interestingly enough, this issue is also present in Project 64.

Research direction

Reproduce the first level of Sin and Punishment in the Parallel core and compare the opening camera movement with the Mupen64Plus Next core and console behavior. Trace how the Parallel core handles the initial camera position and pan, then verify that the camera pans down to the player rather than remaining at the origin.
