Discs won't eject

Post by mysterion_724 »

Hello, I've recently started using Sheepshaver to run Mac OS 8.1, and for the most part it's given me great results in playing childhood games. but one I recently acquired off eBay (The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time) made me run into a snag: The disc drives won't eject when the game asks for a CD that's not there. This did not happen on windows, even virtual PC.

Is there something broken in the emulator?

You do not tell on which host system (Windows or OSX/macOS) you run SheepShaver.

Disks cannot be ejected while SheepShaver is running. Adding and removing disks is done in the GUI or preferences. If you need to access more than one CD, you will need to have them mounted in SheepShaver all at the same time. Try adding all needed disk image to the volumes list in the GUI or preferences.

Sorry. I am running the Sheepshaver 2022 build on Windows 10, with two physical cd ROM drives.
I set in the preference file for it to use both.
