PCSX2 SVN r3263 is released. PCSX2 is an open source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r3263
Better fix for Dawn of Mana problem; solves the constant recompilation as well.

Basically:
If a block begins with an illegal instruction then don't continue recompiling the block, instead recompile code that prints an error message if block is taken at execution time, and then exit execution if it is.
Dawn of Mana has a conditional branch which leads to a bunch of illegal instructions, but the branch is never really taken at execution time.
The programmer either left this in for debugging, or possibly because real code is swapped in-place of the illegal instructions at a later time.
