I thought I'd give T1 another chance again and dug around through my collection of old games for the discs and installed it. I kept finding it crashing with the complaint of "The memory could not be 'read'" instantly every time when I tried to run it, so applied the various fixes I found mentioned across the forums, including the texture fix (someone once said that it was actually related to this even though it probably really shouldn't be) and the indeo codecs as well as a few other little tricks. Unfortunately, this just absolutely failed to work.
Surprisingly enough, it was just a little trick I tried offhandedly out of curiosity that fixed it. I added the line skip_starting_checks into the user.cfg file fully expecting it to make no difference since all it should do is avoid the disk space error, and lo and behold, the game suddenly starts!
So, I'm just posting this message for future searchers to let them know that apparently this may sometimes be necessary too.
