Please provide any additional information below.
I know this game is quite unstable with random crashes (not that often though), but I report that one because it's rather special in that it's not random so I thought it might be interesting to hunt. It's the 1st time I see such a crash happen on that game. Usually, you just do stuff again and it will pass where it crashed before, and/or will hang somewhere else. This one always happen at the same place in about 36% of the total game, whatever the plugins and options. That whole part of the game looks more unstable than the rest anyway.
Alas the panic handler doesn't come so I can't give much more info. If you need some more, just tell me how to get it. I have a working savestate just before but it's too big to upload.

you could take a look into the dolphin log file (which you might to delete sometimes cuz it can get pretty big ;) ) under Dolphin/User/Log (or something similar). There just look for the last entries after you've had that crash.

Nothing interesting in the log. I should have precised that it's a crash of Dolphin, not only the emulation. What I can give is the output of the crash window (see below) + and where visual studio debugger points (see pic).

Dolphin 3-177 fixed that hang, it's the only one that could pass that stage after waiting for more than 1 year. Probably related to icache invalidation introduced there (or the unwanted code clearing it triggered ?)
Tried many times to go to the place where it hanged, also after restarting the complete emu and it definitely doesn't hang anymore. In the worst case, the character sometimes turns himself into morph ball for unknown reason.
However on the next builds, the problem is back (icache invalidation has been removed).
Issues 3297 and 3149 shouldn't have been merged here, they are not the same problem. This crash wasn't the well known MP3 random crashs, it was a "stable crash" always happening at the same place when reaching some stage of the game.
So, you were on something with this icache invalidation code, it worth some refinment...

Thanks for the feedback. I am looking for ways to reintroduce the icache invalidation code without the constant code clearing.
