It says there is an error in the rom, and I get the "minus world" glitch everytime no matter what.

Do the CRCs match up? Sounds like you have the wrong ROM/a bad dump.

Actually, if this happens even without doing anything, make sure you don't have any game genie codes active. If you don't, it's very likely you are using a patched ROM...

Your question is answered in FCEU FAQ (not maintained at our site).

Why does Super Mario Bros. start off on level 0? This happens if you're using a hacked copy of the Super Mario Bros. ROM image. The hacked version is reading from uninitialized RAM, apparently to get the starting level number. This bad copy of SMB was likely extracted from a bootleg multicart, which would have had a menu run before the game started, initializing RAM and setting the starting level.
