What's the hash of the ROM?
This is what I get using https://www.romhacking.net/hash/
Database match: Mega Man X (USA) (Rev 1) Database: No-Intro: Super Nintendo Entertainment System (v. 20210222-050638) File/ROM SHA-1: C65216760BA99178100A10D98457CF11496C2097 File/ROM CRC32: DED53C64
That's definitely a clean ROM, so the emulator must be the issue
Mega Man X has capsules that give upgrades throughout levels. After collecting one of the upgrades and either dying or completing the level, the upgrade doesn't stay like it should. Dying to a boss should place you in the room before the boss room, but it sends you to the beginning of the level. I read this may be a bad ROM or a piracy deterrent, but trying to recreate the issues with the same ROM on the PC version of SNES9x provides no problems at all.
