If you only have 1mb - floppy version is your only option

If you have big collection of CDTV games, you can check startup-sequences for CDTV games which used full 1MB of chip ram to run.
Maybe exist trick or routine which free some extra bytes.
Something in "add21k" style routine.

Also altering the cd buffer sizes when making ISO, if using ISOCD.
This is how I got ROTR to run on my compilation disc. Was missing a few kb to boot. Altering buffers gave me the kb's I needed.

CDTV has some wierd bug, something to do with Audio or something that stops a lot of stuff working from CD.

Also very bad design with the CD drive enabled - memory is under 1 mb

Dependent how many bytes is necessary tu run Metro Siege.
Someone can add/edit s-s and check something similar :

CDTV.TM ; if i remeber correctly name
c:add21k ;or add 44k
c:stack 1000 ; dependent how many stack is necessary by Metro Siege
c:avail flush
MetroSiege.exe ; run game

If you check a few posts back (or readme), the only version that runs on 1MB is the floppy track loader version. If you want system (which cd rom access does) you will need 2Mb of memory, readme also says this needs 020+ though...

liking the Kim smooth and fast movement

hope in some more grab combo variations, if there is some little free memory
keep it up the good work
