I assumed I did since everything has been working fine until now. What don't I have installed and what do I need to do?

I dumped the firmware I needed and it still crashes. Worked on startup with no patches and no save files on. Once I put my old saves in the new saves folder it went back to crashing again making me suspect maybe a save is corrupted? Anyways heres my new log if you wouldn't mind taking a look
