      If it's the video from last year, it's badly outdated and should not be followed. Right now the best way to install RetroPie on a Pi4 is to get the image from retropie.org.uk/download and follow the documentation.
      The SNES system does not understand .nes files, but .smc files should be ok. Can you show a listing of the snes ROM folder with the files there ?

            Post the image on imgur.com and then add the link here.
            .zip files are ok for snes, so if the ROMs don't appear after you restart EmulationStation, check if you haven't accidentally enabled the 'Parse Gamelists Only' option in EmulationStation's settings.

                    Most likely the ROM is corrupt or incorrect. Post the emulator log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) taken after launching the game. Use the runcommand launch menu to toggle verbose logging when launching it, then get the log file and post it on pastebin.com.

                          @simpleethat I open it through the application launch bar by typing "emulationstation". No quotations obviously

                            Retropie is not designed to be run from the desktop (on the raspberry pi). You would be better off using our premade image.

                              @BuZz I thought the youtube guide I followed did download it directly. Obviously not so I will do that. Thank you.

                                @Bryan the guide is wrong as mentioned earlier in this discussion.
