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 thatare usenot 3MBcurrently oremulated lesson ofthe combinedFunKey RAMS.

lithan the Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, and PC-FX, all use more than 3MB of RAM, making their emulation more challenging on the hardware of the FunKey S. This also means that aside from the GBA, all portable and home consoles released in 1999 or later are also too powerful to emulate accurately on the FunKey S hardware. To ensure that this list isn't simply a list of all computers and consoles released prior to 1999, two requirements must be met for a system to be on the list: it must have its own library of software and must be emulatable on Linux, which the FunKey OS is based on. Note that the presence of a system on the following list does not guarantee that it can or will be emulated on the FunKey S, as this list is only here to speculate which lists may be added to this article in the future and is not indicative of any potential intents or plans of the FunKey Team.
