What's up, FunKey? Summaries
Episode 3 (August 28, 2020) - Within three days of the FunKey color option surveys being released nearly three-quarters of backers submitted their choices, with Atomic Purple in the lead with 48% of the total orders, Retro Grey in second with 38%, and Original Purple in last place with 14%. In addition, the FunKey S production facility is nearly finished making the FunKey S molds.
Episode 2 (August 21, 2020) - The molds and PCBAs are being worked on at the FunKey S production facility, with several accompanying images visualizing the progress. Kirby's Dreamland for the Gameboy is shown running on the screen of one of the production units.
Episode 1 (August 18, 2020) - The FunKey Team submitted the finalized mold to the FunKey S production facility. The facility will work on creating a mold from the design, which, when complete, will be used to manufacture each of the FunKey S units. An accompanying video visualizes the mold as a digital 3D model. The FunKey Team is also working on finalizing the design of the packaging that FunKey S devices will be packaged and shipped in.

What is the FunKey S?
The FunKey S is a foldable portable emulation device that is designed to fit onto a keychain. Through emulators on its FunKey OS operating system, the FunKey can emulate a wide variety of systems, including the NES, PS1, and GBA. Greatly resembling the larger Game Boy Advance SP, the FunKey S is currently sold in three colors, Original Purple, Retro Grey, and Atomic Purple. Additionally, the colors of its buttons can be changed individually by switching out the default buttons with the green, blue, red, and yellow ones that come with the system.
Which systems can the FunKey S emulate?
The currently supported systems are the NES, Master System, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, Atari Lynx, Game Gear, SNES, PlayStation, Game Boy Color, Neo Geo Pocket, WonderSwan, and Game Boy Advance. Support for emulating other systems is planned for future updates to FunKey OS.
What software is on the FunKey S?
The FunKey S runs FunKey OS, a custom Linux-based operating system. The system comes with several emulators and games out of the box, with future updates to the operating system adding support for more emulators. Users can add their own games to the device by connecting it to a computer and placing ROM files in the game folders of the corresponding emulators.
Where can I find software for my FunKey S?
While you are able to put ROM dumps of physical games that you own onto the FunKey, there will be other software available for the FunKey S as well. Since FunKey OS will be made open-source, developers will be free to release new apps and games for the FunKey S, which will be downloadable by FunKey S owners. Additionally, hundreds of free homebrew games have been released for various systems over the past three decades, many of which being available for download on homebrew lists across the Internet. The FunKey Wiki maintains its own lists of such software for all consoles that the FunKey S emulates.
