What power supply are you using? Anything lower than 1amp may cause issues with usb devices. You could also try editing your es_systems.cfg to use PiSNES instead (better performance) It’s commented out by default on the latest RetroPie image but just remove the hash’s and comment out the default Retroarch core to enable:

nano /.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

Edit the SNES section so it reads like this:

DESCNAME=Super Nintendo
NAME=snes
PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes
EXTENSION=.smc .sfc .fig .swc .SMC .SFC .FIG .SWC
#COMMAND=/home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 2 "/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin/retroarch -L /home/pi/RetroPie/emulatorcores/pocketsnes-libretro/libretro.so --config /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg --appendconfig /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg  %ROM%"
# alternatively: COMMAND=/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/snes9x-rpi/snes9x %ROM%
COMMAND=/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/pisnes/snes9x %ROM%
PLATFORMID=6

Keyboard controls are default, to configure gamepad controls you need to edit snes9x.cfg located at /home/pi/emulators/pisnes
