I think it might be down to the blitter settings. Care to try something? Choose the Enhanced Blitter, load Black Widow and then go to "Video -> Blitter Options -> Disable all effects". If that doesn't help, try toggling "Video -> Blitter Options -> Advanced Settings -> use DirectX Texture Management" and "Video -> Blitter Options -> Advanced Settings -> Force 16bit emulation". For these options you might have to restart FBNeo to notice any effect. If neither of those help, could you try pressing backspace while Black Widow is open and observe the fps counter at the top-right of the screen? What kinda fps do you get with basic and enh. blitters?
You might also try the latest cutting-edge version of FBNeo @ https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo-WIP-Storage-Facility/releases/tag/appveyor-build
Ignore the 2019 release date on that page, a robot updates the files in the links many times a day ![Smiley :)](https://neo-source.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
*edit* I remember on my WinXP machine, I had to run without vsync, so you might also try toggling "Video -> Enable Vsync (windowed)" if none of the above methods help.

Thank you !
I tried using the enh blitter with all effects disabled and while it works at full speed with windowed mode , it lagged badly on fs mode
I messed around a bit more with the options and found out that regardless of the blitter mode , every game I tried runs in slow motion with Fullscreen Mode with triple buffering enabled (both basic and enh blitter modes run fullspeed with triple buffering turned off , except for vector games)
But with enh blitter mode , even I disable all effects (regardless of triple buffer on or off) Black Widow runs around 20 fps
![Sad :(](https://neo-source.com/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
So , use basic blitter for almost everything , and switch to enh blitter for Pacman hardware games and Terra Cresta (unless they are upside down)
I have attached screens for reference
Btw can I just replace the executable in my FBNeo folder in order to use the cutting edge build ? Would I need to audit my roms with clrmamepro ?
