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:
