Dvd Drive not set???

Long time reader of the forum. first time poster.

First and foremost, I realize this topic has been posted multiple times, to which I have read a bulk of them, and seemingly enough many have had their problems resolved with simple configurations tweaks. I have attempted such as advised by others to others with such a present problem.

I load my iso, Run the game, and behold, "Dvd Player is Not set"

Furthermore if I play the games themselves (which I do own) they work no problem. But I have plenty of HDD space and have decided I would like to rip and play as to preserve my games in the best condition possible, therefore ISO is the way I choose to play them, should I ever get them to work.

So lets begin with my specs, (to which i am 99% sure is not my problem)

Intel core i5-2500k CPU @ 3.30 Ghz 3.30 Ghz
16 Gb Ram
2x Nvidia EVGA 9800 GT VPU's (dual SLI)
1x Nvidia EVGA 9800 GT VPU (physx dedicated)
2x 250gb hard drives (raid 0) OS installed HDD
1x 2 TB data Harddrive

with hard ware out of the way lets move on to my PCSX 2 Build
PCSX 2 rev 5554 (newest up to date)
have also tried
rev 5542
rev 5530

I have a long list of attempted plugins, some apparently the exactly the same but with rev name differences, but alas, I know the problem must lay with my CDVD plugins, or the Iso's themselves.

So again, lets list things I have tried as far as ripping goes
MagicIso
PowerIso
imgBurn
Alchol120%
daemon tools

all apparently rip a proper Iso, but I have read on multiple threads that the quality of the rips differ from program to program

I will also state, to which I DEARLY HOPE does not get my thread locked, because I am aware of the legal matter to do such, but I have even downloaded illegal copies of such iso's (to games I do own) but merely in an attempt to test and see if these copies would work at all... again failures. (please admins and mods do not lock my thread after disclosing pure honesty, for this was the last and final step attempted in an effort to test their ISO's against mine. I DO NOT condone such illegal actions, and was displeased with myself for having done so, but I am truly at my wits end on the matter, upon their failures were promptly removed from my system)

So lets say it is not the Iso's, but in fact the plugins.
I have tried

cdvdGigahertz (multiple revs)
I set the drive as my dvd drive, and physical games work perfetly. I set my virtual drive and mount my ripped iso's, set to plugin, the error occurs

Linuz Iso CDVD (mulitple revs)
Simply click on iso, attempt to load, error occurs

P.E.oP.s CDVD
simply fails to load plugin

CDVDollo (multiple revs)
DvD drive not set error occurs

EFP Iso CDVD driver
simply fails to load, as expected for it being a highly outdated plugin

Before anyone suggests, I am not new to emulation and yes I have the proper BIOS.

I am at a complete loss as to what to do, i am not sure how to debug if such were needed. Again physical games work beatifully, but is not desired, I need to use this 2TB drive and backing up my games through rips was it's intended purpose. Please any help from someone whom is smarter than I would be deeply appretiated!

yes.. as stated in "Furthermore if I play the games themselves (which I do own) they work no problem. But I have plenty of HDD space and have decided I would like to rip and play as to preserve my games in the best condition possible, therefore ISO is the way I choose to play them, should I ever get them to work." although I now realize it is not so clear as to whether or not I meant playing them on pc or a PS2, but they work fine with my configurations as the Discs themselves in my pc's dvd drive. Upon ripping they fail.
