Summary 06861: vr, vf: Camera position problem in Virtua Racing / Virtua Fighter (other Model 1 games?)
Description 0.194 appears to have introduced a regression with these games.
The view is now zoomed out too much, the camera position is wrong.
Steps To Reproduce Start and play the game. Virtua Fighter also demonstrates the problem in the attract sequence.

Unable to reproduce, Linux/x64 0.194.

I can't view the MNGs but I'm familiar with vf's gameplay and see no difference from earlier versions. Nothing seems amiss in vr, either, the camera positions are all correct.

Okay.

I just downloaded a fresh copy of the source here > https://github.com/mamedev/mame/releases/download/mame0194/mame0194s.zip
Extracted it, and produced a model1-only build with:

make SUBTARGET=tinymame USE_QTDEBUG=0 SOURCES=src/mame/drivers/model1.cpp REGENIE=1 -j5

Binary: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yg74z7nd0ppunmn/model1mame

The problem remains. I'm using GCC 7.2.0, if that matters.

Try to film a original arcade or find a arcade footage, put mame output side to side so the developers can see how off the camera are.

"Try to film a original arcade or find a arcade footage, put mame output side to side so the developers can see how off the camera are."

That's pretty useless advice, right?

I encountered a similar issue with legionna a while ago - gfx were scrambled, which nobody could reproduce. That eventually resolved itself, two MAME iterations (or so) later.

Is not a useless advice because we can't reproduce the error and we don't know what you are experiencing.
I understand your frustration because I'm a Linux user myself, and MAME act crazy from time to time and is really annoying to report something that only happens with you and nobody else.

Can't reproduce with Windows, I'll do another test with linux now.

Go to your terminal and type env, copy that output. Then do locale and paste both output here. Post your mame.ini, is in your home in a hidden folder name .mame.
Run MAME with -verbose and post the output here also.

Well, finding a working Virtua Fighter cab within reasonable distance is not going to happen ;)

And there's no frustration involved, these things come with the territory (and I can't stand playing VF anyway).

And I appreciate you want to help, but none of the actions you proposed I'd take have anything to do with this issue. It's a compilation problem, not a configuration one. I have a few environment variables set up, but none of them have anything to do with compilation.

Also I posted a link to the binary > http://www.mediafire.com/file/yg74z7nd0ppunmn/model1mame

... so if you're on x64 Linux, please try this build to see for yourself.

Compiling with:
make clean && make SOURCES=src/mame/drivers/model1.cpp -j7
The foreground is missing, run with -video auto. (make sure your mame.ini is default)
Changing video to "-video opengl" the machine runs fine.

Still waiting for EoceneMiacid so we can see what environment he is running at.
This is binary compiled with that options.

Pardon my expression, but what the actual fuck.

Your binary behaves exactly the same as mine.

I did some more testing:

Running with "-video software" either causes the game to run fine, to exhibit the camera problem or not render any polygons at all, seemingly at random;
Running with "-video opengl" appears to work fine most of the time, though every now and then (roughly once every five times?) no polygons are rendered.
Running with "-video bgfx" causes the camera problem 100% of the time, but never the 'no polygons' one.

I ran each test twenty times consecutively. There's a randomness factor in here which makes narrowing it down difficult.

Everything that was asked has everything to do to with everything, is well known that mame has issues with non C locales, this makes mame go crazy and mess up the graphics among other things.
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/3004

That's why we need to know what environment you are at and what settings your are using to try to reproduce the issue.

Anyway, you get a confirmed from me.

For other testers with Windows, please try this binary.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/c8n6jbnaull3abm/Mame.7z

It was build with:
make clean && make TARGETOS=windows CROSS_BUILD=1 SYMBOLS=1 SYMLEVEL=1 STRIP_SYMBOLS=1 PTR64=1 SOURCES=src/mame/drivers/model1.cpp -j8

This mess up the graphics also.

Hey, thanks for investigating this.

I've been trying to run MAME with a few locales prefixed (en_US.UTF-8 for example) but that doesn't fix it for me.

You're welcome.
Mame team in general don't look in to this kind of thing, funky bugs like this get dismissed on the spot if can't be reproduced.

This will not get fixed by just changing locales, the developers have to look on to this to get a proper fix.

right, setting the MAME language option is causing some rather horrific glitches for some users, of note, some of which almost look like memory is being trashed.

probably needs running through valgrind or similar with the language options activated.

Looks like is fixed but I didn't saw any patch or fix for locales.

The only complain I have is the emulation speed, the emulation on linux is almost perfect, in Windows is very slow using my binary or mame official binary.

The problem still persists currently (0.206) but only in Viruta Racing and Formula and to a lesser extent. Decided to run a linked setup of Virtua Racing in MAME with two instances and noticed the master side's camera was a bit worse than the slave side. I am unable to reproduce this in Virtua Fighter. Wing War and Star Wars Arcade I didn't notice this behavior either despite them marked as not working.
