D'oh, your right. Game crash on earth confirmed with just exe replacement. It never occured to me to try the actual planet as opposed to the space station.
I can't test content update since I'm firewalled and don't have any intention on wasting time during finals week on scary acronyms like CVS anyway. I suppose I'll register after this post since I'm hosting a file and an imposter might cause damage, evil paperwork.

Hey, thanks for the new exe, the Sa-Matra is definitely beatable with it! BUT... there's no ending?! wtf?! Please tell me the 3DO had the ending w/ all the aliens in it! After I beat the Sa-Matra, it went to a starry screen for a split second then straight to the credits! I didn't press a single key.

The 3DO version didn't have the outtakes with the aliens, unfortunately. I was very saddened by this. That being said, it did play a movie that pretty much just consisted of stills from the PC version, a bit of rendering, and a voice over.

I edited your post because it was flamebait, even if you did not realise it. Keep in mind you are getting this game for free and the fact that the original PC or 3DO endings aren't implemented yet does not make the game a "gyp."
Also, good luck getting Star Control 2 to work in ScummVM

There's alot of love in this forum. It makes the OpenBSD mailing list look like a hug-fest by comparison. 
Mage: If you've actually got the brass balls to whine because an unfinished alpha release of a game that you downloaded for free doesn't have some non-essential feature implemented yet, then I'd suggest that you at least wait until a completed version is available before making an ass out of yourself on a world-wide forum.
Parker: I'm all for brevity, but I think "post deleted by editor" would have been a little more appropriate (even if your version was more accurate)
Just my $0.02 USD. Ignore as appropriate.

Sorry if I'm not as familiar with the ways of emulation, God of Coding, I had only read a blurb about some program that allowed Lucasarts games (read, old dos based games) to work fine in WinNT and figured it was worth investigating. As for a "gyp," I battered myself at the Sa-Matra for hours thinking I could beat it solely for that ending, and as someone else already mentioned, it's terribly unfortunate that the best aspect of the game, the culmination of all the humor within it, was ripped apart. I didn't comment on this project as a "gyp," I commented that the 3DO ending is a gyp, rightfully so for actual fans of the series; what kind of Star Control 2 game would not contain those, let's see, 15-20 comedic alien epilogues and your own? ...

Excuse me, boy, maybe you should brush up on your reading comprehension skills before jumping off to flame someone on an internet message board. Was it apparent that something as quality as the SC2 ending would be altered for no reason, technical or artistic, for the 3DO version? Was it apparent that this "ending" is somehow a "feature" now, and not a part of the actual game? Was ANY of this explained in a rational manner instead of jumping to conclusions that I'm lambasting the project and NOT this change in game design? Was any of this mentioned in the Changes/Todo/Bugs? I'll save your short-minded ass the work and tell you it wasn't.
I didn't "whine" that this project hadn't implemented an "ending." I was criticizing the 3DO version for having changed something so nostalgic and valuable to me, not even presupposing that the project developers would take it upon themselves to incorporate the dos-based ending because I'm not sure how feasible that is. You are an asshole twicefold, both for jumping to conclusions and furthermore for going so far as to insult my intelligence, based on your flawed understanding in the first place.
