I ended up commenting out some pieces of the setup.py if you take a look at the issue about loading multiple roms. I won't claim it's the right way, but it worked for my needs

Can you please tell me which lines you commented and where is setup.py located? thanks

setup.py is inside the retro repository it appears you downloaded.

I think just if you look in setup.py there is some stuff going on that appears to be checking what you have checked out and building that, but since I"m guessing you just cloned and didn't check out a tag/branch, that might be why it does it, I just commented it out, for better or worse.
