Hi guys.
A friend of mine showed me a footage of PS3 version of Wolf3D, then I saw that this version had a way more smoother FPS. So I decided to try some configurations on dosbox files to achieve this same quality. And I did it. I also put some hq3x filter and disabled the corrected aspect ratio for those who want to play in widescreen. So, I decided to share with you.

Here are the files:
Wolfenstein 3D - https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D8537138_65110121_96506

Spear of Destiny - https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D8537138_65110121_96590

All you need to do, it's place them on their respective folders(I recommend you to do a backup before, just for precaution):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Wolfenstein 3D\base
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Spear of Destiny\base

And a few observations: If you don't like the graphic filters and/or forced widescreen, you can disable by opening the files in the notepad, then search for these options:

frameskip=0
aspect=false
scaler=hq3x

Change "aspect" to "false"(to turn off widescreen) and "scaler" to "none"(to play with the original graphics, without filters).

And just one more thing: The files are set to my resolution settings(1366x768). If you need to change it to your resolution, just edit the files like done above. Search for those lines:

fullresolution=1366x768
windowresolution=1366x768

and put the desired resolution.
