        If everything else is working except the explosion sounds, I think it's
highly unlikely to be a bad ROM. I'd think it's much more likely that one
of the POKEYs or its associated circuitry isn't working properly...

        Try swapping the POKEYs at B3 and C/D3 and see if you get your
explosion sounds back while losing some other sounds. You could also try
swapping or replacing the LM324 quad op-amps at B5 and D5.
