      Looks like either a corrupted ROM or a filesystem corruption. Are you sure your SD card is ok ?

                [INFO] Did not find a valid content patch.

                It's likely that your NES roms lack headers. You can check by running the following command:

                file "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Super Mario Bros. (Japan, USA).nes"

                Roms with headers will produce output like the following:

                Legend of Zelda.nes: iNES ROM dump, 8x16k PRG, 0x8k CHR, [Horiz.], [SRAM]

                If it's like below, then your rom has no header and will not work.

                Legend of Zelda.nes:data

                SNES emulation isn't affected by headerless roms so could you post the verbose logging output when launching a SNES rom at a site like https://pastebin.com/.

                  @pierouge use pastebin for logs.

                      Looking at the log file, it seems some configuration gone wrong. Are you using a 3rd party image or the standard RetroPie image ?

                          Also, please give more details about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

                          almost 20 days later with no info about your setup. i think more people would be inclined to offer help if you would simply post the requested information.
