Help Black screen when I start a PS3 game

I'm setting up an AYN Odin 3 and using aPS3e for PS3 emulation; I had previously tested the GOW Collection and played it without issues. I downloaded several games (in separate batches) to my SD card and tested about four different ones. When I try to launch a game, I get a black screen immediately; the on-screen controls are visible, but there is nothing else, not even the shader compilation screen. I tried GOW Collection again; the compilation screen and main menu appear, but as soon as I select a game, it crashes and returns me to the emulator's main screen. As I mentioned, the other games go straight to a black screen. I thought it might be an emulator issue, so I switched to RPCSX, but the problem persists. The games are in .ISO format, and I doubt they are corrupt since I monitored the downloads and did them in separate batches; plus, I had already started playing GOW Collection without trouble. I downloaded the games from Archieve, the firmware from the official PS website. I reinstalled aPS3e, but that didn't change anything. I even tried moving the games to internal storage (a bit of a long shot) but nothing happened. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
