Compatibility
It has to be noted that SD2IEC is not fully compatible with the original disk drive.
Original 1541 drives were exceptionally slow and game developers employed various programming tricks and hacks to make the loading process faster.
For example, the processor inside the drive was used to carry out additional calculations.
It is estimated that, as of now, SD2IEC is capable of running over 70% of the games designed for Commodore 64 computers.
