Pcsx2 - Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari black screen forever

Libretro Cores
#1

I’m using retroarch with the pcsx2 retroarch core, both installed through the official Arch Linux repositories. I have PAL BIOS and am using the openGL renderer. Both Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari sit on a black screen forever after opening them with no other output, while the two other games I’ve tried, MGS2 and Okami, seem to be working fine.

I haven’t seen anything interesting in the console with verbose logging. The relevant output is here; after what’s shown, the infinite black screen begins.

Any ideas what could be the issue?

Quick update: I tried the same BIOS and ISOs in standalone PCSX2 and both Katamari games worked fine. It seems increasingly likely to me that it’s an issue with the libretro core or Retroarch.
