GC: Force 60 Hz on PAL consoles #31

Televisions that only support 50 Hz are far gone, all TVs since the 90s or so support PAL-60. Therefore, it is relatively safe to enable PAL-60 unconditionally. This has the huge benefit that NTSC games running at 60 Hz will look much smoother than when trying to run them on a 50 Hz screen.

@pcercuei This seems cool, but it shouldn't be as another option for Video Mode?

Here i noticed that with this you're replacing PAL50 with PAL60, but as i said isn't it better to have it as an option? Ex. Video Mode = [Auto], [NTSC], [PAL50], [PAL60], [Progressive]

My suggestion would be rename the current PAL option to PAL50 and make a new setting option for PAL60. (VIDEOMODE_PAL >> VIDEOMODE_PAL50 and make new option for VIDEOMODE_PAL60) Not sure if this understands, but its clear that not everyone has a PAL60 TV.

Everbody has a PAL60 TV. 50-Hz-only TVs were already a thing of the past in the 1990s.
