playing ps2 games on a No solder v4

[theh0boman]

from what i've read up on and from listening to everyone on this forum i guess it's not recommended to bother with ripped copies of dvds and just burn dvds to dvd-r...but i constantly download games from ftp's and i can download these games already ripped from an ftp so the ripping isn't a problem...what is is whether a no solder chip is reliable...will it play cdr backups of dvd games as long as they are not over the 74 min (650 mb) limit? any help is appreciated
