List of games with compatibility issues: Difference between revisions

__TOC__

 

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

 

As the following table lists games that have a region-specific glitches, users should use the recommended regional variant of that game to avoid the occurrence of the listed glitch(es). While games with glitching across all regional variants are highlighted in yellow, the lesser glitching of the recommended variant is why they remain listed here. In cases where a game has varying names across regions, the name of the recommended version has been underlined. In the case of the listed Game Boy Advance ''Final Fantasy'' games, while the application of various ROM hacks may override the glitches found in their North American regional variants, such hacks also have the potential of introducing new incompatibilities.

The following table lists games that must be patched to be fully-playable on the FunKey S. After downloading the patch file that matches the regional variant of your game backup (if available), download and extract the [https://static.miraheze.org/funkeywiki/1/17/Lunar_IPS.zip Lunar IPS] patching program if you are using Windows, or another IPS-capable patching program if otherwise. To use Lunar IPS, begin by launching the application and selecting ''Apply IPS Patch''. After selecting your matching IPS and ROM files, the application will apply the modifications to the ROM file and finish with a ''The file was successfully patched!'' message. The game can then be put into the folder of its respective console on the FunKey S.

The [[w:PAL region|PAL]] regional variants of the following PlayStation games require the use of an ''SBI'' file to function properly (any [[w:NTSC|NTSC]] regional variants of these games, however, do not need the additional file). To configure one of these files for a specific game, download and unzip the linked-to file for your regional variant of that game and place it in the ''PS1'' folder of the FunKey S alongside the respective ROM file(s) of that game. Ensure that each game's ''SBI'' file has the same file name as that game's ROM file(s) (example.sbi for example.bin and example.cue). As these games require their respective ''SBI'' files no matter which emulator is used, they are marked in bold to indicate the need for that file.

Since the SELECT and FN inputs share one button, it is possible for gameplay functionality tied to button combinations that include SELECT and directional or action buttons to be impaired by the system's shortcuts. To solve this problem, ''KEY'' files can be used to adjust the device's button mapping on a per-game or per-console basis, moving or removing interfering shortcuts where necessary. While most games can retain access to all shortcuts via shortcut or button relocation, due to their higher than average number of button combinations, ''Treasures of the Deep'', ''Wing Commander'', and ''Wing Commander: The Secret Missions'' required the removal of several system shortcuts to ensure game compatibility. In some cases, multiple ''KEY'' files are available to allow users to choose their preferred remapping. To install the ''KEY'' file of one of the games listed below, begin by downloading and extracting its respective file. After ensuring that the ''KEY'' and ROM file names match, place the ''KEY'' file in the same folder as that game on the FunKey S. As this section only lists games that require ''KEY'' file input remapping for full compatibility, consult the wiki's list of [[List of pre-configured KEY files|pre-configured KEY files]] for games with optional button combinations that require the use of a ''KEY'' file to access.

The following games have emulation issues by default that do not fit into any of the categories above. As games with similar issues have combined into subsections of this subsection, be sure to also read the subsection descriptions of games of interest to you ensure the full compatibility of those games.

 

This subsection lists Game Boy Advance games that require the presence of a pre-prepared ''SAV'' format save file to allow the user to bypass the opening sequences, ensuring full-playability. While such a save file can be created for any of the listed games by simply loading each game's ROM file in a computer Game Boy Advance emulator (or the natively-running [[List of third-party OPK applications#Emulators|third-party mGBA emulator]]) and generating save data as soon as possible, users who don't mind having a default name associated with their save data can download one of the pre-prepared ''SAV'' files linked-to below instead. Once this file is generated or downloaded, it should be placed in the ''GBA'' folder of the FunKey S, replacing any existing ''SAV'' file for the respective game. From then on, if selecting ''New Game'' rather than ''Resume Game'', users should be sure to always load their pre-existing save file rather than creating a new one to prevent a crash from occurring.

This subsection lists PlayStation games that are not emulated correctly via the use of the [https://doc.funkey-project.com/user_manual/tutorials/software/gba_bios/ official PlayStation BIOS], and thus must be emulated without it. To play one of the games listed below, remove the ''SCPH1001.BIN'' file from the ''/mnt/PS1/bios'' location of the FunKey S file system and place it anywhere else in the device's file system. Once you are done playing that game, return the BIOS file to its intended location to avoid potential emulation issues with other games. This process can be accomplished either by connecting the FunKey S to a computer or by using the device's ''Commander'' file management application. In the case of ''T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger'', while the game is still fully-compatible with the official BIOS, to make loading into the game take several seconds rather than several minutes, it is recommended that the default BIOS be used with the game to stop this glitch from occurring.

The PAL versions of the following NES games have severe graphical glitches due to being emulated in NTSC mode by default. To fix this issue, download and extract the associated game's ''CFG'' file from its ''ZIP'' archive, and placed it in the ''/mnt/FunKey/.fceux/cfg'' location of the FunKey S file system. If you don't see the ''.fceux'' folder, your computer's Unix-based operating system is hiding hidden folders. {{HiddenFolderExplanation}} Once this is done, ensure that the names of the game's ''CFG'' and ROM files match and that any pre-existing configuration files for the game are deleted. The game will subsequently be emulated in PAL mode, enabling PAL timings and full-compatibility. Should you prefer to skip this process by simply using a game's NTSC version instead, games with that option available have been marked below.

This subsection lists games that freeze during their opening video sequences. To fix this, simply close and reopen the FunKey S when this occurs and the videos should continue normally. In the case of ''Vampire Hunter D'', simply press the Start button three times and the game will continue on normally.

{| align="center" width=100% class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center"

This subsection 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. While none of these glitches affect gameplay permanently, as save states and/or restarts usually resolve them, they remain notable nonetheless.

This subsection lists games whose compatibility varies between game releases and/or revisions. To verify that your backup of one of the following games is compatible with the FunKey S, ensure that the CRC32 checksum value of its ROM file matches one of those listed below. To check the CRC32 checksum value of your game backup's ROM file, use [http://emn178.github.io/online-tools/crc32_checksum.html this] utility.

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 or graphical glitches during instances of menu changing, while other glitches are more noticeable, such as slowdown or avoidable non-sporadic crashing. Unlike games listed in the [[#Incompatible games|incompatible]] or [[#Partially-compatible games|partially-compatible]] sections, however, games listed here should be fully-playable from beginning to end without unavoidable 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 [[User talk:CoolieCoolster|the wiki admin]]!

 

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 mildly unpleasant effect. Below is a list of games where such a glitch has been found.

The following Game Boy Advance games have been found to have graphical 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. GBA games included in the multi-pak releases highlighted in orange below should be played separately to reduce the likelihood of graphical glitches occurring.

The following games have graphical glitches that do not fit into any graphical glitch category above. Graphical glitches in the following games range from barely to extremely noticeable, but none prevent the player from playing the game to completion. While compatible games with more severe graphical glitches are listed [[#Games with severe graphical glitches|further down the page]], should you find the graphical glitches of any of the following GBA games to be too extreme, it is suggested that you use one of the potentially slower, but more compatible, [[List of third-party OPK applications#Emulators|third-party GBA emulators]] instead.

The following games have audio glitches that affect gameplay to varying degrees. GBA games included in the multi-pack releases highlighted in orange below should be played separately to reduce the likelihood of audio glitches occurring.

{| align="center" width=100% class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center"

Games listed below have light to moderate speedup or slowdown, though not sufficiently severe to render them entirely unplayable. Most PlayStation games listed below have slowdown due to being some of the most demanding games for that system, while Master System games listed below are sped up by twenty percent due to incorrectly being emulated at a 60 FPS framerate.

{| align="center" width=100% class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center"

The following games have been found to crash non-sporadically during gameplay. As games that crash this way unavoidably are listed [[#Games with unavoidable non-sporadic crashing|further down the page]], most games listed below have accompanying instructions detailing how to prevent the respective game from crashing. The one exception to this is ''Snatcher'' for the Sega CD, which has at least three points during gameplay where the game temporary freezes for several minutes, with background animation and, in some cases, music continuing until text appears and gameplay can continue. While none of these instances of crashing prevent main game completion and most not be discovered by chance very often, should you wish to improve the emulation accuracy of the GBA games on the list, you can use one of the more accurate, though potentially slower, [[List of third-party OPK applications‎#Emulators|third-party GBA emulators]].

{| align="center" width=100% class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center"

Games listed below are believed to be playable to completion on the FunKey S, but have severe emulation glitches that hamper gameplay. Because of this, it is recommended that, where available, [[List of third-party OPK applications‎#Emulators|third-party]] emulators be used to play these games on the FunKey S. This section currently lists '''22''' licensed games confirmed to be partially-compatible.

 

The following games have severe graphical glitches that are constantly noticeable. While all games listed here are believed to still be fully-playable, in the case of Game Boy Advance games it is recommended that one of the more demanding, yet more accurate, [[List of third-party OPK applications#Emulators|third-party emulators]] be used instead. Note that while the Game Boy Advance game ''Risk / Battleship / Clue'' is listed here, only the ''Battleship'' portion of it is impacted by a severe graphical glitch.

The following games have been found to crash sporadically during gameplay. ''Chrono Cross'' has been found to randomly get stuck on a black screen after closing the in-game menu. Videos illustrating the issue can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CSBdXC8Hn8 here] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNyc_s-3C5w here]; the regular updating of save states and/or in-game saves to restore the game to is the recommended counter-measure. In addition to freezing sporadically when cutscenes are triggered, ''Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths & Legends'' also freezes if audio from the game's logbook is played. ''Thrasher Presents Skate and Destroy'' has been found to sporadically crash infrequently during gameplay, though this issue has so far not been found in the [[w:PAL region|PAL]] variants of the game. As there is no set point at which the GBA games on the list crash, they are partially compatible, though it is recommended that one of the [[List of third-party OPK applications‎#Emulators|alternate]], albeit potentially slower, emulators be used with these games instead to entirely avoid the risk of crashing. 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.

The following games have been found to crash non-sporadically during gameplay. As games that crash this way avoidably are listed [[#Games with unavoidable non-sporadic crashing|further up the page]], all games listed below cannot be played without an unavoidable crash occurring at some point during gameplay. The solutions to these instances of crashing vary; as ''Air Hockey'' only crashes when a match ends, only a restart is required. As ''The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap'' and ''Final Fantasy VIII'' only crash at a certain point, one option would be to save, continue in a computer GBA emulator (or the natively-running [[List of third-party OPK applications‎#Emulators|third-party mGBA emulator]]) to bypass the crash point, and subsequently continue gameplay on the FunKey S. For a more consistent gameplay experience, however, the use of [[List of third-party OPK applications‎#Emulators|third-party emulators]] for these games is recommended.

While the following games initially appear to be emulated accurately, they have been reported to eventually crash in emulators similar to those of the FunKey S. Based on the results of on-device compatibility testing, they will either be moved to the subsection above if the reported crash occurs, or removed if it does not. Glitches that have been reported to cause their respective games to crash to one of the device's application launchers are marked in bold.

Even when not listed as fully-incompatible [[#Games that require improved emulation|below]], [[w:Game Boy Advance Video|GBA video paks]] often have severe emulation issues, such as audio glitching and crashing, that render them unpleasant to use in the default Game Boy Advance emulator. While a [[List of third-party OPK applications‎#Emulators|third-party]] emulator could be used to solve many of these glitches, it is recommended that the natively-running MPlayer application be [https://static.miraheze.org/funkeywiki/1/1d/MPlayer-V2.opk downloaded] instead for video playback on the FunKey S.

 

Games listed below either do not run at all on the FunKey S or cannot be played beyond a certain point due to either unemulated hardware or inaccurate emulation. This section currently lists '''309''' licensed games confirmed to be fully-incompatible. If you find that a game functions on the FunKey S but has a glitch of some sort, consult one of the [[#Fully-playable games|lists above]] to see if that game is listed.
