Vita: pcsx reARMed - game won't load

I’m attempting to load a game from a .bin file, but instead of loading the game, the screen goes blank and I’m dumped out to the Quick Menu. I have a BIOS file present (confirmed by checking the information menu) and I’ve also confirmed that the md5 values match the suggested value.

I’m currently using the 2016-11-16 all-in-one retroarch.vpk, but I’ve tried it with other versions with the same end result

I’m pretty sure the .bin file is good - the same file works on my RPi. I’m not sure how to troubleshoot the issue from here. Any information would be appreciated.
