The updated sample of Star Cruiser on http://www.mamechannel.it/pages/samples.php does match your previous dat before you updated it. The sample explos2.wav therein seems to be different from the one on Twisty's page (did not check, he may have changed that now as well). Do you happen to know, which one is the correct one for Star Cruiser and what is the correct CRC value then for the dat? I am pretty confused now to be honest.
