PS2 NFS hack pack

This pack contains an assortment of pnach files for various PS2 NFS games, namely the debug camera triggers and/or options as well as codes for the demo versions (disable demo barriers and timer in UG2 demo, main menu in demos, etc).

This was fully tested and confirmed working on real hardware as well.

NOTE: If you have a hard time exiting the debug camera mode, hold any other button while pressing Select (e.g. hold R2 while pressing Select).

This is due to the way my trigger is coded (listens for button every tick) and right now there is no easy way to fix it.

The hack works fine in underground and underground 2 but for the nfs carbon demo doesn't work (I renamed the file with the CRC) until I realised that the pnach file only works with the SLED-54312 demo of nfs carbon, and I can't find that demo anywhere. (I have the official playstation 2 magazine 77 demo)
