SD2IEC - 1541 Copy

[Surveyor]

Hopefully, not a fruitless question. I have a sd2iec and a 1541. While cleaning the attic, I recently came across some original C64 games. I'm currently playing Bard's Tale 3 and reliving some memories. My question is it possible to copy the data from the original floppies to a sd card and play using the sd2iec only? I prefer to use my 1541 sparingly, so I'm looking to use the sd card solution. My understanding is that the original BT3 disks aren't copy protected in any way as I made copies as directed by the documentation, put the original disks away, and am happily playing with the copies. I've tried downloading some d64's of the BT3 files off various sites, but my experience with them hasn't been great. I don't need a hacked version of the game, when it looks like the original isn't copy protected anyways. I can't fathom a solution of plugging the sd2iec into the 1541, etc. that would work. Maybe I'm just dense... 

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Use d64it.  It's a bit slow, but it'll do what you want.

This worked, where d64it failed (me, or I failed it.)
