I don't know how to use that .patch file. But I can say this, the guy is absolutely correct. The camera should only move the one time, and then not at all when you are higher up till you get to a certain edge. After further review, once you get up from the ground level, anywhere higher, the view jerks everytime you jump, no matter what. That is what's making it so bad.

I remember working on something like this in the long past for some jerky camera movement. I checked the original forums though, and while I found a lot of my stuff, I couldn't find it. What it did is create a region within the window and as the player moves around inside that region the camera would stay still instead of moving to keep the player at the center. As the player moved to the outside, the camera would follow. It was far from perfect though. Found it: http://secretmaryo.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1662 There is a patch in that topic called smc_camera.patch, I don't know how extensive the camera changes have been since then, but it wasn't really a good patch anyway.
