So after spending an entire day analyzing the disk, I get the following error in the log:
[2020/10/11 04:02:45] F:launcher: module auto detection failed.
[2020/10/11 04:02:45] I:launcher: stopping subsystems
[2020/10/11 04:02:45] I:logger: stop
[2020/10/11 04:02:45] I:rawinput: disposing devices
I've followed every piece of advice in this 3 page thread except for the uploaded nvram files. Where do I put them? the whole contents folder is literred with numerical folders like 0, 1, 2 etc. and I can't figure out where to extract in the prop folder.
