1892: 2 ways to convert your dumped PS3 PS2 game .iso to a format that will compress in CHDMAN
A PS3 PS2 ISO extracted by Apollo Save Tool--they come out as "ISO.BIN.ps2.iso"--can be used uncompressed in PCSX2, but cannot be compressed raw to a .chd with CHDMAN, as it is an .iso format CHDMAN can't read.
I found two ways to deal with this:
ImgBurn: burn the .iso to disc, then rip the disc to bin/cue, and convert them to .chd; the drawback here is that it requires a burner and a fresh DVD-R (oddly, I can't seem to coax ImgBurn into converting directly from .iso into a bin/cue that will read in PCSX2)
PowerISO: $40 to register, but then its "Convert" function can convert the (with "Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol.20: Space Harrier II" from the JP PS3 Store, for instance) 627 MB Apollo .iso into a 546 MB "Standard ISO" that compresses to a 49.4 MB .chd--same size as via the ImgBurn method--and works in PCSX2
0:00 - start
6:35 - ImgBurn method described
9:33 - PowerISO method
(Oops apparently PCSX2 doesn't like to capture full-screen in OBS desktop capture, blargh.)
(I think I DID get .iso files from a non-burn ImgBurn conversion that WOULD compress in CHDMAN, but then didn't actually load properly in PCSX2.)
There are 109 PS2 games on the Japanese PS3 PS Store!
