Today I decided to play Morrowind after a long break from the game. Strangely, a save that was working properly last I checked gave me a message saying "Unable to load save game. Press a to continue." Trying to load it again crashes the Xbox. I am playing the Game of the Year edition, with no mods on Xbox 360. I searched , but no site had any specific nor helpful information.

Concerning the TR_XXX.esm, you're most likely trying to use Tamriel Rebuilt (good choice!) Antediluvian Secrets, which requires Map 1 (Telvannis) as well, so I guess the latter has been forgotten.
Concerning the warning, this means that one of the plugins you are using was saved using a different version of the game main files, e.g. native Morrowind.esm while you're using the Morrowind Patch Project. You can usually ignore this, although you should at least once check whether you're accidentally using a Morrowind-without-Bloodmoon version of a plugin that also has a Morrowind-with-Bloodmoon version if you have Bloodmoon installed or vice vers.
If you want to get rid of the warning for good, you have to open the respective plugin's .esp file with the TES Construction Set (using your actual Morrowind.esm etc versions as base files) and simply save it again (keep a backup though). That should update the claimed dependency without modifying anything else.
It seems like Morrowind cannot play the cutscene in the beginning of the game for some reason. You could open MGSO settings, go to misc tab, then open Morrowind Code Patch and see if Morrowind code patch has this enabled:
If you have it disabled, enable it and vice versa to see if it helps anything. I couldn't find any other settings that could affect the video.
Then of course, try running in windowed mode and compatibility mode should be XP SP3 for Morrowind.exe.
If that didn't help, check if you have any other software that let you limit your FPS and/or add overlays to games. If you have MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner for example (Rivatuner lets you cap the FPS of the game and add an overlay to it to show your temps etc.) turn it off and see if it works.

Your save is corrupted. I recommend deleting the save file and then reinstalling the game as the game can still act a little wonky even with the corrupted save deleted.
