Check out the link in my signature... it'll take you to the swap magic site and tell you what you need for backed up games to work in your ps2. That's the ONLY other option to a modchip... you need either of those things to play backed up games in your ps2.
It is worth the small expense though, to know that you can keep your original discs in good order and then if you scratch your backups to hell...then you can just burn another copy.
Please know though that you need at least a half decent computer and a dvd writer to copy the games.

You could also check out this thread by tokijin, it'll tell you almost everything you should need to know about copying ps2 games.
