Hello
I have a libretro port and I added a few cool features that are nice for people using it in console like systems (say without a keyboard)
One of them is mounting on the fly, I can enter the RetroArch menu, select an option and mount a CD or Floppy while in game.
Generally speaking it works, for instance I can swap disks in GTA1 to a the london disk and london music will start blasting.
But in some games I get either lock ups or it won't detect the CD.
Examples:
- Red Alert won't detect the CD, if I go back to DOS and open it again it will detect it
- WarCraft 2 will lock up, this worked before when I was a few hundred commits behind so I'll have to debug that I guess
Is this bad / dangerous? or is there a way to make it work properly?
My code is here:

It's mostly lifted wholesale from dos_programs.cpp
