This article is a compilation of different lists of software available for FunKey S users. For direct access to the list articles, use the following wikilinks: [[List of third-party OPK applications|third-party OPK applications]], [[List of emulatable games (freeware)|emulatable freeware games]], [[List of emulatable games (commercial)|emulatable commercial games]], or [[List of emulatable utilities|emulatable utilities]]. This page also hosts this wiki's inclusion criteria that define which types of programs are or are not included in the linked-to lists. As the default emulators of the FunKey S are not perfect, users interested in the device's out

*Currently available with the permission of its publisher. This requirement extends to both freeware and commercial releases, whether digital or physical. Software available without the permission of its publisher, such as abandonware and pirated or unreleased software, may not be included on any of the lists. Commercial games that are no longer being sold by their publishers are also not included.
*Original in its codebase. While software that is either a port or recreation of software on another system is allowed, unauthorized ROM hacks of other software on that platform are not.

As the games on these lists are more thoroughly tested, some games currently present may be removed if they are found to not meet the required criteria. If a listed game is found to no longer be sold by its publisher, it will be removed from this article. If several homebrew iterations of a game exist on a platform, such as Pong or Tetris, the best few among them should be kept and the rest removed, assuming that the latter do not have additional mechanics that make them unique. While new games will be added to the lists as they are found and tested, users may also suggest list modifications [[Talk:Available third-party software|here]].

Due to the availability of development tools such as an [https://doc.funkey-project.com/developer_guide/tutorials/build_system/build_program_using_sdk/ SDK], several native programs have been created for or ported to the FunKey S. An extensive list of such programs can be found [[List of third-party OPK applications|here]], with applications, emulators, and games being the primary program types.

To give readers an idea of which systems could be supported by the FunKey S in the future, below this paragraph are listed various systems that are not currently officially emulated on the FunKey S. To begin, the following list consists of systems that can currently be emulated accurately at a reasonable speed on the FunKey S via one or more [[List of third-party OPK applications#Emulators|third-party emulators]] (with those in italics emulatable via [[List of emulatable utilities#Emulation|meta-emulation]]):

In considering a system to be potentially emulatable at some point for the purposes of this article, it must meet two criteria. Firstly, it must have an open source, ARM-based emulator for Linux available for it. While this doesn't guarantee that such an emulator would be compatible, it remains a step in porting any emulator to the similarly ARM-based, Linux-powered FunKey S. Secondly, in taking the technical limitations of the FunKey S into account, any system that is unlikely to be emulatable at full or near-full speed should be excluded, as the purpose of listing consoles above is to document functional game compatibility. The following is a list of systems excluded for that reason:

As it has been found that versions of the ''MAME'' emulator (including ''MESS'') other than ''MAME 2000'' do not function at a sufficient speed on the FunKey S, systems emulated by ''MAME'' must have an alternate qualifying emulator to be considered for inclusion. As several unemulated consoles have LibRetro cores that failed to properly load via the ''SDL Retro'' frontend of the FunKey S, assuming that such a system also meets the second requirement listed above, it is underlined on the list below. Lastly, as the current system of emulating the [[w:BBC Micro|BBC Micro]] and [[w:ZX Spectrum|ZX Spectrum]] via meta-emulation is less than ideal, those systems have been additionally added to the list below should any qualifying emulators available for them be portable. The following is a list of systems that are believed to meet the defined criteria:

This section links to lists of games for systems that the FunKey S can officially emulate. These games can either be freeware, meaning that they are free to download for use in emulators, or commercial, meaning that they are currently being sold in a digital or physical format. In order for a game to be emulated on the FunKey S, its ROM file must be placed within the folder of the system that is being emulated. While all freeware games listed have their ROM files available to download for free, the purchase of many of the commercial games listed does not grant the buyer direct access to the ROM files of those games. Despite this, for physical copies of games and some digital game collections, there are third-party tools available to allow users to extract the ROMs of the games that they purchased, so such tools will be listed where available.
