CRC32 Versus Another Hash like MD5

[RainMotorsports]

Im working on Rain's MMS Maker 2.0 (and Simple MMS Maker 1.3) and originally i just CRC32'd the eboots. Now with files this small is there any need to use MD5 checksums instead? I didnt know if the main reason for using MD5 was for hash collisions with large files?

I also dont see a point in it due to hashing all the eboots now in existance and not running into any collisions lol. But if im gonna switch the time is now because im writing a code object for the check.

stick with a CRC32, its more efficient, and is smaller.

MD5 and SHA1 are mainly used for security purposes (note that MD5 has already been "cracked"). CRC32 is only meant to be used as a simple checksum, not to protect against spoofing attacks.

From what I can tell, you don't need the security offered by SHA1.
