Newbie questions here....

Is there any way you can play backed up PS2 games on the console without doing any modification to it at all, i mean no chip no game shark thingy, nothing?

If so please tell me, weather it be burning it differently or doing a cerain boot method please say. Also, ive been surfing around and saw that the games come in either CD-ROM format (Purple Back) or DVD Format (Silver Back) and just wondered, how do i copy them? i assume that cd-rom format would be a a straight copy. Now for the dvd format, as ive been looking ive seen dvd rip kits for certain games and thought...is there any bunch of programs that can just rip any game instead of keep downloading the certain kits? I have a DVD-ROM,and a CD-RW (unfortunatly no dvd-rw then dvd's would be easy :-) Recently ive sussed out how to rip normal dvd movies which got me into thinking about ps2.
Thanks.
