They can be CRC specific, or just based on the game serial.
Examples:
[patches]
// This patch is loaded regardless of crc
patch=0,EE,002aa040,word,24020001
[/patches]
[patches = 84993903]
// Patches go here
// This is only loaded if crc = 84993903
patch=0,EE,002bc040,word,24020341
[/patches]
notes:
- pcsx2 only loads the first [patches] block that matches the game.
- The [patches] block based on crc takes priority when pcsx2 searches for patches...
- Everything in-between the patches block gets fed to pcsx2's old patch parser; so currently the patch syntax is the same as before...
- A lot of patches weren't added to the database since they didn't include serial codes in their *.pnach files :/

There shouldn't be a reason to add more categories to the current list, and we will have a 'notes' field for additional information....

- Games now display their compatibility status on the console title-bar ^^
- Modifications to DataBase_Loader to write to the database and save changes
Note to pcsx2 team:
The compatibility info is numerically based.
000 ~ 099 = Unknown Compatibility status
100 ~ 199 = Nothing
200 ~ 299 = Intro
300 ~ 399 = Menu
400 ~ 499 = In-game
500 ~ 599 = Playable
600+ = Perfect
(Currently no game has the perfect status since the pcsx2.net compatibility list didn't have that as an option)

doesn't really matter though, it just looks up the game in the database and prints the name and serial to console.
i also fixed some bugs in the database file.

Currently only has game serial/name/region info, but we can use this to load game-specific gamefixes and stuff in the future (and get rid of the pnaches system).
The file is DataBase.dbf, but can be opened and modified as a normal text-file.
