As fer me conversion effort, CDSpace's dev blog notes that their format IS capable of storing multitracks & multisessions & DRM data - the LCDtoISO converter found can only get ye so far, thus me searching fer alternates was a good call And it turned out successful
Grabbed this very version of CDSpace 6 (seems it's an extracted ISO demo, grab Zip+/Zip'N'All or use an online converter fer ALZs), installed it on me XP SP2 host, works & mounts perfectly (Korean locale required, that was the problem)! After proving that the images weren't corrupt but compressed instead (& that their "algorithm" is pitiful), I then found out that the size difference I've noted earlier has todo with sector sizes - comparing the image file with the mounted drive led me to the conclusion that Install is 2352 & Play is 2048 (& that CD2 is the same as Play but "upconverted" to 2352 & uncompressed) Therefore, fer bogstandard 2048s any stupid proggy will do (along the lines of UltraISO or gBurner or something, provided the ISO format is selected), but fer 2352's Alcohol is a must - after fiddling with options (can't remember which) I succeeded making a working BIN/CUE of Install (fer Play renamed ISO to BIN & c/p'd a CUE with tiny changes, fer consistency sake) Haven't yet ran into LCDs with 2336s or subchannels (or CDDA), so dunno how would those get handled today
DaemonTools Pro, CDBurnerXP & CDRWIN don't detect anything mounted on the drive (possibly because CDSpace uses some shady ASPI mod fer emulation); CloneCD & ImgBurn return garbage no matter what (as well as the noted UltraISO & gBurner, use those two fer 2048s ONLY); IsoBuster may be of better use but haven't figured out how & to what extent; & Ashampoo 6 free restarts the computer
All in all, here's the final outcome now worth putting on AL me thinks - Yulhyul Kangho Korean 2CD ISO Demo (BIN/CUE), no longer in EOL'd obfuscating proprietary captivity, without PW as well, tested working on both XP SP2 & W10 (the latter needs changing compatibility settings & at least DxWnd ofc) Will delete the former LCD archive in a week unless someone notes of not being satisied with this "rls" Enjoy this oddity (interesting part-clone of Ronin Blade fer PS1 but not digging the art-style much)
