The problem here is that at no time did the author of the video attempt to see why the V1200 was not performing well against the Warp. However, it was not difficult to have a correct system, it does not take more effort (flash the last core and activate the fastIDE) than for the Warp (for which it is also necessary to carry out an adjustment compared to the basic configuration, i.e. changing the CPU frequency, which is absolutely ok in both cases).

As Nikos Pagonis says, it is the reaction of the author of the video that also does a lot, we are far from the impartial test.

With V6 core on v4sa, ide speed are 131Mb/s awesome score !!!🥰

But if you turn CPU CACHE off and set Vamp to "turtle mode" then you set the machine on slow mode, then of course the demo runs slow.
     
But this is on purpose setting the system into a slow mode.
The question is if the comparison is then valid.
   
   
If you turn the CPU caches also OFF on the WARP, then the WARP will runs slower then the stock unexpanded 68020 A1200.
How much value would making such a comparison "video" have?
 
 
The question is what is the purpose of the Video?
Was the purpose to make a real, fair, comparison?
Then he did everything wrong.
 
Or was the purpose to make a fake comparison, with the intention to bash one side, and to make this happen disable caches for one side etc to slow it down -  then he did actually do everything right.
 

Just ask Chris Edwards how little people will do to use a product or software. Pimiga is easy and all one has to do is read the two page instructions to get it going. Nope, they post all their issues  and some demand help on a product they paid nothing for. RTMFM was a real counter point back in the day. I get it, been guilty of it myself.

If the goal is really to get Amiga to a wider audience, you have to make it easily digestable for them. 

Discord IS helpful to an extent and there have been a few people that have answered questions but I can't be the only one to ask these questions. Need to find something that was answered before? Have to do a search. Useful? Sure. Convenient? Not always.

BTW, FastIDE what? Yes, I understand what it does but where do you change that setting? Where do you change any/all settings? What does each setting do? What's the best method to change settings? Are there multiple apps to do this?

Why can't we use a USB power switch? (Mine works great BTW) A power strip would work better? Why?

Want to use V4BL? It's a great utility. Need a network protocol for CoffinOS? Use MiamiDX or Roadshow. Where do you get them? I found MiamiDX. How to transfer them over? SD card? Okay. Where do I put the files exactly? How do I get to that location in the OS?

I wish I was an expert. I really do and maybe some day it will get to that. It just seems silly that every single user has to search out the same answers as every other user instead of having all the troubleshooting steps in one place, with explanations and details.

Maybe I'm the only on that sees it that way but I didn't configure one thing on my Amiga 2000, so games are really the only thing I ever did. I'm in the US so we didn't hear too much past the A2000. I'm at a disadvantage. There's no immediate ROI on proper directions but if it is made easy, then more people will check it out.

Is there an official YT Vampire channel where you guys show things and development progress?

That would be a good form of communication

You are new to Amiga.
I find it great that people with zero Amiga knowhow
like to use Amiga - but learning this will take just time.
Please be prepared for this time and don't be impatient

I think you can not expect that there would be a manual teaching you everything about Amiga. This expectation is not realistic.
And if we would try to make such manual then it would be five thousand pages big - and no one would read it.
 

I truely believe that documentation is important.
But this is not the topic that we talk about here.
   
Everyone who likes to help us on documentation, feel invited to get in contact with us and help!

I can completely see why Gunnar is upset with the guy.

I honestly believe he had either had taken laughing gas, or was high when making the video.

Whatever he thought was funny, really wasnt that funny... would YOU laugh for 10 minutes if you had a problem displaying a demo?!

As for documentation, even I have posted about this in the past, but the situation is not dire. You can find what you need to know or ask.

What we have in the Apollo team is some very skilled engineers. Thats great and what you would want from a technical product like the V4SA point of view, but there does not seem to be enough of a P.R / documentation perspective involved.

Years ago when Commodore were still alive, they kept engineers away from sales people!

The reason, I believe, is that the engineers have actually been working on the product very closely and therefore know it inside out. Their 'knowledge bar' is therefore (sometimes unknowingly) set higher than the average person.

(Think of someone making a game, testing it and completing it, having to deal with not knowingly making it too difficult, because they have become an excellent player themselves and/or knowing how the AI will react/etc).

Gunnar, much as it pains me to say it, maybe it would be prudent to 'dumb down' the product for the average guy for sales penetration beyond the current 'technical enthusiast' level.

Like when you buy an electronic appliance and the manual has stupidly common sense type warnings like: 'Dont lick the power lead connector when its turned on.' or whatever. Ok, thats maybe too far, but maybe not, if this is how its going to be.

I DO feel your pain though...that stupid laugh would bother me.
