Well, I don't really know SD2IEC drives, but do you properly mount the disk image (the .d64 file) or you try to load it as a program? Simply loading it will not work.

The machine being NTSC may cause problems, because there were very few programs written to be TV system independent. Most programs are PAL only.

Loading being slow is the expected behaviour. Try using some disk speeder program. Those are usually called turbos. But these won't work with your 1541-III. Try buying a JiffyDOS ROM for the machine, because SD2IEC drives support the Jiffy protocol.

You may want to try using 1551/IEC drive emulation in YAPE for faster loading times. But be careful, because this is incompatible with fast loaders, so multi-loading demos or games using turbos will not work. The 1541 and 1551 drives also need different disk speeders, so programs written for one will not work at all with the other, unless they have IEC protocol fallback options.
