This article lists games that have compatibility issues with the emulators used on the FunKey S that may make it difficult or impossible to play them without the modification of the emulator or the game itself. This includes games that need to be patched to function properly, games with emulation issues, games with text that is unreadable at a resolution of 240x240, games that require hardware that the device's emulators do not support, and games that crash at startup or have significant graphical glitches that render them unplayable. As inaccuracies with the FunKey's GBA emulator, gpSP, cause several games to crash or experience severe graphical glitching, an alternate (though more CPU intensive and slower) GBA emulator exists in the form of a Gmenu2x OPK. As the games on this page are divided into sections based on the glitch that affects them, users searching for specific games should use their browser's text search feature to locate them.

Fully-compatible games

This section lists games that are fully-compatible on the FunKey S, having no emulator-caused glitching if the instructions listed in each subsection are followed.

Games with region-specific glitches

The following table lists games that have a regional variant that glitches and another that doesn't. For the best experience, it is suggested to use the alternative regional variant listed below.

Name of Game Article System Issue
Digimon Racing Link GBA Freezes soon after launch; use North American version instead of European version
World Class Rugby SNES Graphical glitches; use Japanese version instead of European version

Games that require patching

The following table lists games that must be modified to be fully playable on the FunKey S.

Name of Game Article System Patch
Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand Link GBA Link
Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django Link GBA Link
Boktai 3: Sabata's Counterattack GBA Link
Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury Link GBA Link
Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu Link GBA Link
Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II Link GBA Link
Top Gun: Combat Zones Link GBA Link
Yoshi Topsy-Turvy Link GBA Link

Games that require pre-existing save files

The following games crash during their opening sequences, so should be loaded with a pre-existing save (.SAV) file created in an external emulator. Once you load this save file onto the FunKey, navigate to it in the main menu of the game rather than going through the game's opening sequence.

Name of Game Article System
Grand Theft Auto Advance Link GBA
Hamtaro : Ham-Ham Heartbreak Link GBA

Games that temporarily freeze

The following games freeze during opening video sequences. To fix this, simply close and reopen the FunKey S when this occurs and the videos should continue normally.

Name of Game Article System
Hugo: The Evil Mirror Link GBA
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Link GBA

Games with opposing directional button glitches

The following table lists games that have one or more glitches that occur when opposing directional buttons are pressed, something that cannot normally be done on original hardware. These glitches rarely affect gameplay substantially or permanently, but remain significant nonetheless.

Name of Game Article System Glitch
Link's Awakening DX The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX GBC Graphical glitches
Wario Land 4 Wario Land 4 GBA Movement glitches

Fully-playable games

This section lists games that are fully-playable on the FunKey S, but have a glitch that affects gameplay in some way. Sometimes these glitches are minor, such as transparency flickering and graphical glitches during instances of menu changing, while other glitches are more noticeable, such as slowdown and sporadic crashing. Unlike games listed in the incompatible games section, however, games listed here should be fully-playable from beginning to end without crashing, severe graphical glitches, or severe slowdown. If you find that any list in this article is missing a game or that one of the games listed works as intended, feel free to edit that list yourself or inform the wiki admin!

Games with slowdown

Games listed below have light to moderate slowdown, though not sufficiently severe to render them unplayable.

Name of Game Article System
Bloody Roar 2 Link PS1
Dirt Trax FX Link SNES
Doom Link SNES
Star Fox Link SNES
Star Fox 2 Link SNES
Stunt Race FX Link SNES
Tekken 3 Link PS1
Vortex Link SNES
Winter Gold SNES
Yoshi's Island Link SNES

Games with transparency glitches

In some games, transparency effects are mimicked by rapidly enabling and disabling a texture overlaying a background, making an object appear transparent if done rapidly enough. Emulation errors and differences in timing can at times diminish the effectiveness of this trick, rendering the flicking more visible than intended, creating a somewhat unpleasant effect. Below is a list of games where such a glitch has been found.

Name of Game Article System
Advance Guardian Heroes Link GBA
F-Zero Climax Link GBA
F-Zero: GP Legend Link GBA
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity Link GBA
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown Link GBA
Robots Link GBA
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age Link GBA

Games with left edge visual glitching

Games listed below have been found to have visual glitching along the left edge of the screen at times. This glitch usually only occurs during certain portions of a game and does not significantly affect gameplay.

Name of Game Article System
Alex Ferguson's Player Manager 2002 GBA
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius: Attack of the Twonkies Link GBA

Games with menu-change visual glitches

Games listed below have been found to have visual glitching occur during infrequent instances of menu changes. As these glitches only occur during menu changes (and often only once or twice when a game is started for the first time), this type of glitch usually does not affect core gameplay.

Name of Game Article System
2 in 1 Game Pack - Spider-Man + Spider-Man 2 Link GBA
A Sound of Thunder Link GBA
Action Man: Robot Atak Link GBA
Garfield and His Nine Lives Link GBA
Dr. Seuss: Green Eggs and Ham Link GBA
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Link GBA
Majesco's Sports Pack GBA
Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Link GBA
Spider-Man Link GBA
Spider-Man 2 Link GBA
Stadium Games GBA
Yu Yu Hakusho - Ghost Files: Tournament Tactics GBA

Games with sporadic crashing

The following games have been found to crash sporadically during gameplay. As there is no set point at which they crash, they are partially compatible, though it is recommended that the alternate, albeit slower, VBA Next emulator be used with these games instead to avoid the risk of crashing entirely. If you decide to play these games in the default gpSP emulator, be sure to create regular save states as a means of reloading in case a crash does occur.

Name of Game Article System
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Link GBA
Metal Slug Advance Link GBA
SimCity 2000 Link GBA
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Link GBA

Games with other graphical glitches

The following games have light to moderate graphical glitches that do not fit into any graphical glitch category above. Graphical glitches in the following games range from barely to very noticeable, but do not prevent the player from playing the game relatively normally.

Name of Game Article System
Donkey Kong Link GB
Lufia: The Ruins of Lore Link GBA
Phantasy Star Collection Link GBA
Pinball Tycoon GBA
Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire Link GBA
Rayman 3 Link GBA
Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival Link GBA
Trick Star GBA

Games with other issues

The following games have issues described in the fourth column that cannot be categorized in any of the categories above.

Name of Game Article System Issue
Air Hockey (Homebrew) Link GBA Crashes when match ends; restart required
Game Boy Advance Video (Series) Link GBA Games that don't crash immediately are at risk of crashing if one of various options are selected

Incompatible games

Games listed below either do not run at all on the FunKey S or cannot be normally played beyond a certain point due to either a glitch or unemulated hardware. While the lists are sizeable, note that the number of games that function normally with little to no glitching is far higher, so if a game isn't listed below it will most likely run on the FunKey S. If you find that a game functions on the FunKey S but has a glitch of some sort, consult one of the lists above to see if that game is listed. If you find that a game is missing from any list in this article, please inform the the wiki admin.

Games that require unemulated hardware

The following table lists games that cannot be played on the FunKey S due to the requirement of hardware that the FunKey S does not currently emulate.

Games that are unplayable

The following table lists games that are unplayable in the emulators currently used on the FunKey S due to emulation issues. Most GBA games listed below, except those highlighted in yellow, can be instead played in the alternative (though more CPU intensive and slower) GBA emulator VBA Next. While there is currently no alternative SNES emulator, the SNES emulator used by the FunKey S has a comparatively higher compatibility rate than the GBA emulator, with many of the incompatibilities listed below being due to the use of SNES enhancement chips in certain games. If you find that the list is missing a game or that one of the games listed works as intended, feel free to edit the list yourself or inform the wiki admin!
