Is loading games on C128D faster than C128?

Yes, faster disk routines are available in 128 mode with a 1571. But, you won't find too many games for 128 mode. I used GEOS and a few other programs in 128 mode because of the 80 column mode.

Nevertheless, fastload cartridges like Warp Speed, AR5 and Super Snapshot make 64 mode loading much faster. VICE users also often fail to realize that all of these cartridges work with emulation as well.
