    I remember some anon saying the PS1 version, either original or arranged, has some weird inaccurracies so maybe it's just better to emulate the original X68000 one.
    As for CV 1... Chronicles isn't really a remake of that, it's a different game with the same setting, like IV. Just play 1 on NES/FC without any fan hack.

      It's a remake. They made it for the x68k so they knew only enthusiasts would buy it, its hard as frick.

    Get the X68K original. This port fricks up everything, even in the purported "Original" mode.

      Care to elaborate what they fricked up?
      I've only played this version and enjoyed it.
      The arranged OST was killer.

          Why not just simply make a fricking patch for the ps1 port and be done with it? You'd think they would have done that already.

    this isn't an NES remake, it's a port/reskin of the sharp x68k game vampire Killer. Emulate the sharp version because the psx version screws up some enemy behaviors. I recommend the SC-54 soundtrack.

      Arrange mode is better imo. The original version has damage scaling like Castlevania III which made me tap out on level 3 or 4.
      Also . The first NES game is great and it has infinite continues so it's not too hard.

    This is a remake of the X68000 game, not Castlevania 1

    If you still want to play it imo start with PS1 Mode, original mode was way too difficult for me

    I've tried emulating the original and it's a pain in the ass. Things to know:
    >There's a bad rom floating around the fricks up enemy damage
    >If you're using the Retroarch core you might need to make an .m3u file since it's a multi disk game
    >It takes a shit ton of time to load and OC-ing or FF-ing can frick up the music
    >The emulator also doesn't seem to support saves or save states

      And you also need to put these BIOS files into Retroarch/system/keropi otherwise the game won't boot

    Chronicles/X68000 is based on the premise of Castlevania 1 but has a number of different mechanics and a lot of unique stages. One isn't a replacement for the other.

      What version is the PS2 port? I'm tempted to give that one a go.

        since it only released in japan, pretty sure it only has one version. dunno where you can find a rom for it though.

    Play the original NES game 1st then X68k and finally the arranged mode on PS1 version.

    think of X68k as the lost levels of CV1 or loops 3-9 of the original game instead of a full remake with new mechanics like CV4
