To give readers an idea of which systems could be supported by the FunKey S in the future, below this paragraph is listed various systems are not currently emulated on the FunKey S. For a system to be listed here, it must be weak enough to be emulatable with the 64 MB of RAM that the FunKey S has (a 4 MB RAM limit is used for the purposes of this list), have an open-source emulator that can be run on Linux (which [[FunKey-OS]] is based on), and must have its own library of software. Several systems that are more powerful than the PS1, currently the most powerful emulated system on the FunKey S, are listed, however may or may not be emulatable on the FunKey S, depending on the optimization of open-source emulators for those systems. |

As emulators on the FunKey S have to be able to make do with fewer buttons and a smaller screen than emulators on most computers, the list is split into four lists: systems with fewer buttons and a lower maximum resolution than the FunKey S, systems with more buttons than the FunKey S, systems with a higher maximum resolution than the FunKey S, and systems with both more buttons and a higher maximum resolution than the FunKey S. For the purposes of this list, the FunKey S button count will include the inputs that are only possible with the use of the Fn key, which gives the FunKey S a total button count of fourteen. If a system has an input method that cannot be directly translated into a button input (such as a touchscreen or a microphone), it will be listed in the insufficient buttons section, as the emulator for that system would have to implement an alternate input method. Note that the use of the word "insufficent" in this case does not necessarily indicate that the FunKey S is not capable of emulating the listed devices (many devices with resolutions greater than 240x240 are emulated on the FunKey S currently, for example), only that the implementation of cropping, scaling, or alternate input methods may be required to emulate a system adequately. While these lists are being compiled to be as complete as possible, a variety of factors may make a system on the list harder or impossible to emulate. This includes the fact that some emulators are more optimized than others, the FunKey OS's use of SDL 1.2 rather than SDL 2, or problems that arise from the FunKey's limited resolution or button count. |
