Actually it works pretty easily.
There is also the option of Ebbi's autoplayer this also works pretty easily.

The problem with CM8K I assume will be that if the king.eng works with another
file which it obviously must do as it can't be pulled out alone that file needs
to be known so as to also attach that file to the autoplayer commands.
