Will it support the REU?

Well, hm.

I wanted to contact the creator of this D81 file and ask him a couple of questions, but sadly his account has been deleted. (Glad the content is still here, though.)

I have a RAMLink.
I created a 1581 partition and copied the OG's trainer files to it. (there appear to only be 2)
But, when I try and launch the program from the RAMlink, the program freezes immediately after trying to run it.

Can someone here explain to me how they got this to work? I've tested the D81 on my Ultimate II+ cartridge and it works great. I just wanted to transfer that to my RAMlink and see what kind of speed difference we were looking at.

I used FCopy to move the files from the UII+ over to the 1581 partition on my RAMLink, and the copy was successful. At least, it sure looked like it was. The only 2 files that show up in the mounted D81 transfer over just fine. But I can't run them.

Anyone else ever give this a go?

He's still around, although its a few months since his last login. Try sending him a mail/PM.

I know this is a LONG, LONG overdue post but I thought I'd share just in case someone didn't find the answer. The Command Summary Card gives the info on how to transfer characters from Bards Tale I & II on it:

Turn on your computer and insert the boot disk. Then type LOAD
"*",8,1 and press <RETURN>. The game will automatically load. When
you see the Bard strumming his mandolin, press U to get to the
Utilities Menu.

If you're new to Thief of fate: The first thing you must do is make
a copy of your boot disk and dungeon disks by selecting B from the
Utilities Menu. Next, you need to create a character disk (see
instructions below). When that's finished, put away your original
disks and play with the copies you've made. Thief of Fate isn't copy
protected, so it's easy to copy disks for yourself... and hopefully
only for yourself. (We don't want to be downers, but we've worked
hard on this game for our lunch money. If your friends, relatives,
co-workers or neighbors want a copy, won't you ask them to buy a copy
for themselves? Thanks!)

If you've previously played Thief of Fate: You can still use any of
the options from the Utilities Menu.

To abort any action you start, press <--.


[2.0] Utilities Menu

B : Backup a data disk. Follow the prompts as they appear. The disk
you're copying from is the source disk, and the one you're copying to
is the target disk. To create a character disk, see the instructions
below.

T : Transfer characters. Transfers Bard's I, II, or III characters to
a Thief of Fate character disk. Not all items will transfer.

P : Play Thief of Fate. This takes you into the game.

R : Return to introduction.
