Issues fixed

3DMark99

1. - Installer is 16-bit, it won't work on 64-bit windows osses natively. Installation only possible with vinevdm, or 86box emulated machine with 32 bit windows or virtual machine with 32 bit windows. After installation, copying files and apply patches works with modern osses.
2. - Vsync is enabled by default, disabling it is needed for max score.

3DMark2000

1. - It fails MMX check; for modern processors, download 3DMark2000mmxcheckswitch.zip from 3DMark on modern hardware.
2. - Some modern processors gives JPEG errors, download 3DM2kRyzenFix.zip file and replace.
