There is an amusing bug with the most recent version of Nestopia UE, Castlevania US, either revision will fail miserably just after you enter the castle gates. You will see a glitchy background and instantly fall to your death. This does not happen with the European or Japanese cart, PlayChoice-10 or disk versions.
Can't confirm this, using Nestopia UE 1.47 (af82db9253b91a00cd1e9ef2281676ab *nestopia_1.47-win32.zip, from
here), testing using the below two ROMs:
00d93c9f6b8aefb8b6c02b20147df4ec *Castlevania (U) (PRG0) [!].nes
52eb3f7e2c5fc765aa71f21c85f0770e *Castlevania (U) (PRG1) [!].nes
Make sure you don't have any "Cheats" loaded (Options -> Cheats), temporary or permanent, that don't match the specific game checksum. I've been bitten by this more than once.
