Some games require the system modules be present for Vita3K to (low level) emulate them. This can be done by installing the PS Vita firmware through Vita3K.
The firmware can be downloaded from the official PlayStation website, there's also an additional firmware package that contains the system fonts that needs to be installed. The font firmware package can be downloaded straight from the PlayStation servers.
Install both firmware packages using the File > Install Firmware menu option.
System modules can be managed in the Configuration > Settings > Core tab of the emulator,
we recommend Modules Mode > Automatic.
And if you have doubts some modules are causing crashes you can try to remove them.
