Hi, after days of searching I finally got myself a copy of one off my all time favourties, Witchaven.
However, I'm having several problems getting it working properly.
I tried out the tips posted on the DosBox website, and installed Dos32a and the running did improve a litte, but far away from enough. It stills feels to slow and unsmooth, not to mention how it runs in 640x480.

please help me!
Have anyone out there got it working

640x480 is rather large for an emulator.
can't you make the screen any smaller ?

Ex, 320x240?

Also, did you change your Core to Dynamic and increase the frameskip? How fast is your CPU?

how do i change to dynamic?

My CPU should be fast enough.

Open dosbox.conf, find the line that says
core=normal
and change it to say
core=dynamic

I still recommend that you tell us what is it's speed.
From my own experience, Build-engine games (like Duke 3D and Witchaven) require pretty fast CPU to run smoothly in DosBox - and I mean well over 2 gHz.

Ok, so I changed to dynamic but still it runs unsmooth and a little slow. I could notice a improvement though.

I acctually don't know the speed of my computer, since I not that much in to technics.
It's only three to four years old I guess

Is there any program or patch wich can update the game or somethin?
I found a Duke3D patch for windows XP that worked great... and then there's off course all those engines for doom, heretic and hexen (zDooom)

What you are looking for is called "port" of the game to Windows. It's not the same as patch.

As for Dyn.core, also increase the cycles - your machine should handle more at this setting.

umm... tried this (witchaven's not mentioned on there but i know it's a build engine game and that may help a little)
