Description of Changes
Sets the video mode on boot more appropriately to the current disc or bios (whichever is available in that order) by default, instead of always NTSC.
Rationale behind Changes
When fast booting, the initialisation normally done by the BIOS gets skipped, so any game which calculates cycles based on the framerate (which it expects the BIOS to have done) before setting its own video mode, will calculate bad cycles and cause sync issues. This will resolve that, with no (known) side effects, since the only thing which should care, is the BIOS, which won't because it immediately inits the video.
Suggested Testing Steps
Test the EU (and US I guess) versions of Spyro - Enter the Dragonfly with fast boot. Full booting the EU game on an NTSC BIOS will still result in bad timing, just like would happen on a real console.
