Title is self explanatory.

All games from the list ares launches at 60Hz.

Two version, SHA1 for public and SHA256 that ares uses internally. Open with notepad, or any other text editor that you like.

These games launch at 60 because the header specifies all 3 regions, with E being the last region in the list so it won't be chosen first. Note that this can launch at 50 if you select Settings > Boot Options > Prefer Europe prior to loading these games.

[MD/32X] Force PAL region when (PAL) or (Europe) are in ROM name (#1781)
7772fdb 
There are numerous headers in Mega Drive & 32X games that are not
correct resulting in PAL games to run at 60Hz instead of 50Hz. This
corrects this issue by using the same technique the Atari 2600 core uses
which is to look for "(PAL)" or "(Europe)" in the ROM name which will
then force the game to run as a PAL game.

This also addresses the 32X game Shadow Squadron - Stellar Assault which
is supposed to be an NTSC-U and PAL game, but only has PAL in the header
so it could only run at 50Hz. This adds NTSC-U as an option (leaving PAL
as the default), but can be selected using the "Prefer US" boot option
so it can run at 60Hz.

Addresses issues: 
#1066
#1067

And yes, I'm aware I submitted an additional commit cause I spelled
Assault wrong in the comment, and managed to spell it wrong again in the
commit message. 🤦‍♂️
