List of games with compatibility issues/en
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.

Compatible games
While many times an emulation error can lead to a game crashing, other times it simply causes a minor glitch in an otherwise fully-playable game. While these glitches are unlikely to severely impact the gaming experiences of FunKey S users, they have been documented for both the sake of thoroughness and to have a place to direct those curious about such glitches. Games listed in the games with emulation issues subsection below may have more complex and/or severe issues, but remain fully-playable.
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 |
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.

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!
