Can't play game with multiple CD's in Classic

I am running OS 10.4 on my iBook G4 (one that cannot run OS9 native).
I successfully installed and played for about an hour a game called "Obsidian" (1996). About an hour into the game, I was asked to "Please insert Disc 2." However, Disc 1 was not automatically ejected, and manually pressing the eject button also did nothing.
I have heard that some OS9 applications do not run in Classic very well, especially those expected to interact with the hardware (like the disc drive). And this problem is posted to the support page here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22250 . But the only solution listed is starting up in OS9, which I can't do on my iBook.
Is there ANY way to get this to work? The game is old, mostly before copywrite protection, and I have had success getting the data from other old games' CDs onto my computer, but they still look for the information in the disc drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Dr. Ace,
I would start by checking the Extensions Manager to see if you have the proper CD/media extensions enabled. Also, if you could access the CD from the Mac OS X desktop and drag it to the trash to eject it by using Exposé or using control-click/eject or Right Click/eject to get it ejected.
There may be some preferences you need to apply for this game or special set up settings that need to be altered.
good luck!
-Mike

  • Playing games with MacBook Pro 13"

    I have a MBP 13" and sometimes i like to play some games on. When I do that, I like getting it with fully charged battery, play my games by using only battery (without power source connection), and when it gets about 15% of battery I just turn it OFF and put on charge again (until battery achieve 100%).
    Is that the best way to have a long battery lifetime? Or can I play games with my MPB plugged on power source?
    Thanks

    Macs have never been known to be good game machines.  PCs are a much better option in that regard.
    When using the MBP with resource intensive CPU/GPU applications such as games, it is best to use AC power if it is available.  That will ensure that therte will be sufficient electrical power as may be required. 
    The more you use the battery, the more 'wear and tear' you will place on it and lessen the life span.  I use my MBP connected to the charger as much as possible BUT at least once per month I will use it just with the battery to about the 40% charge level and then reconnect to the charger.  For maximum battery life, such periodic discharging is required.

  • Satellite L50-A-19N can't play audio from multiple sources

    I can't play audio from multiple sources. This is very annoying when I have 2 youtube videos playing, if I start playing something on the media player, there is no sound on media player, it's the same when I have 2 media players open and 1 youtube video playing, youtube video doesn't have sound..
    It goes away when I plug out my headphones..
    I already have all the latest drivers, last DTS driver update was in 2014, sound update this year's february..

    I don't know if this makes sense, but I got newer DTS sound driver which I found, It's not my laptop model, but they all seem to be the same - v1.1.88.0
    I uninstalled DTS software and still had the same problem, so it's not affecting sound driver in any way..

    IDT audio driver has newer release date, but the driver version is the same as the 2013 one..
    Why are toshiba releaseing old driver as 'NEW' ?
    2nd is my speakers advanced settings, nothing changed when I disabled "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"

    I see that the option called “give exclusive mode applications priority” has been checked.
    Usually different applications and programs can access the sound card simultaneously.
    For example: you can hear the sound in game, while you can run your own music via an external player.
    This is prevented with these options “give exclusive mode applications priority”.
    Maybe you should disable (uncheck) this option to prevent the different applications for using this exclusive mode stream.
    I did it for my DAC. I set the DAC for exclusive mode. Once my audio playback software starts to play music, no other software is able to share the DAC.
    However, I use Win 7 and Realtek sound driver… It’s another configuration.
    So it’s not known to me if your issue is related Win 8.1 system or maybe limitation of sound driver… it could be also possible that one of your sound applications don’t allow multiple sound streaming.

  • Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Hi DJNIKKo,
    I have the Diablo III install DVD - it's both Mac & PC install.
    But warning - many players (on a PC board) dislike the game & stopped playing it already...
    I played thru all the chars on 'normal' and started playing the 2nd difficulty, but running away (=being chased) by enemies is NOT my style of playing a game...
    Check some youTube videos & see if that's what you want to do...
    The ratio of hit points (HP) for enemies is:
    1. normal - 20 HP
    2.nightmare - 6000 HP
    3.**** - 150 000 HP
    4.inferno - 1 000 000 HP
    This is for the same enemy...
    (I have the Diablo 3 walkthru guide).
    So this game is't for me...

  • Installing windows games with multiple discs

    When I am trying to install a windows PC game with multiple discs, the install starts out ok, then it asks to insert disc #2. I'm using a Mac Mini, booted into Windows XP SP3. Since there is no manual disk eject button like on a PC machine, how can I eject the current disc in the Mini disk drive to be able to insert the next installation disc?

    I guess when you boot into windows the disc eject key on the apple keyboard doesn't work. But, I found a solution! While installing the game and the message screen came up to install the next disc, I hit the apple/cmd key on my apple keyboard and it brought up the WinXP Start menu. I then opened up the My Computer window and right-clicked on the CD drive, clicked on eject and the disc popped out! I inserted the next disc and the install continued automatically.
    I love being able to run Windows on my Mac. It makes using Windows sometimes almost bearable.

  • Is it suitable to play game with soft torch phone?

    Dear all
    I am interested to buy nokia c7. Is it suitable to play game with soft torch as like keypad. Please some can someone help me to answer me in details? Thanks

    It somewhat depends on whether the game supports it or not.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

    can I sign in with multiple apple IDs in a single apple device without deleting my previous one?

    Hi swagyoloswag,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    There are several different services that require signing into an Apple ID to use on your iOS device. You can sign into different Apple IDs for different services on your iPhone. For example, Apple ID #1 for iCloud and Apple ID #2 for iTunes & App Store. You cannot sign into the same service with two different Apple IDs at the same time. The attached article has a list of services that are accessible with your Apple ID.
