    Not similar enough. WinCDEmu is a virtual drive emulator. PowerISO is an archiver and ISO editor.

    This is a CD image mounting/converting application. No way to edit ISOs - only remastering (extract-modify-recreate) which destroys metadata. Fortunately it is more difficult to wreck original disc image if you must have TRIPLE space of it to make a slightly modified duplicate.
