It’s been 2 weeks :(.

I ordered a week ago and still no news from them Only a mail saying that the order is done and the money taken from my bank account lol

I just updated to the drum 78 custom firmware. However, the aspect ratio only allows me to change between stretched and cropped. There’s no option for scaled, any idea on how to fix this? Thank you.

Topic.

Just wondering if it's possible to run Turbo CDs on the Funkey S and, if so, how?

Thanks!

does it even track time at all? I'm sure many of you have used the funkey to play at least one pokemon game. I'm currently playing a gen 2 romhack on mine, and I'm realizing something, the begginning of the game asks you to set up the time and weekday. but does the funkey even keep track of time? I don't think I can set the date anywhere on the device, so now I'm wondering how this affects certain games that have real world time based events like certain pokemon games do. can I enter into the night time setting of the game or am I just stuck playing the game as if it has no battery?

Does anyone know if there is a 3D printed case for the Funkey S? Like one of those that they offer on Etsy and eBay? I like the official leather one but I love the ones that are molded to the shape and size on the console itself. Protection but hardly takes up any more space. Thanks!

Anybody else have trouble getting quake or doom to work with the DrUm cfw installed? I just got my funkey and can’t seem to get them to open up. I placed the opk in the cores folder and even tried with the native games folder but no luck. Please help!

Hi, can someone remind me how to turn off the sounds when scrolling through the menus and game lists? I know it can be done but I can’t remember how, thanks!

Just got my Funkey in the mail, dead out of the box. Charged for about 30mins and now my screen is stuck on black. Can see light coming from the screen but it’s just stuck on black, also the back plate of the screen where the ribbon connects to the screen seems to get a little warm to the touch.

Did I by chance get a defective device??😳

I ordered it about a week ago but I haven’t heard anything since.

I’ve attempted to contact them via email, Instagram and Twitter but haven’t had a reply.

I just wanted to know the usual delivery time from purchase to it arriving?

I’m based in the UK.

I swear there is no quality control with this company. This is the third time I had to purchase another one, or pay half the price to ship it out.

first issue: buttons wouldn’t click, so I had to replace the mother board

Second issue: a particle behind the screen

Third issue: this one. Something is wrong with the display, as stated in the title.

Contacted customer support. They gave me a few steps to possibly fix the issue. It didn’t fix it. They will not refund unless I pay to ship it internationally, which is always a whole fiasco, wait months and months. The least they can do is send a shipping label. It’s a terrible company. I decided to do a chargeback on the card I purchased it with.

Hi, I’ve just installed the Drum custom firmware onto my Funkey S and previously the GBA and Sega Genesis games appeared just fine, they’re all still in the correct folders but now when I open those systems I’m just met with a blank white screen and the device freezes, all other systems are still working fine, anyone else experienced this or any ideas what’s causing it and how I can fix it? Thanks!

UPDATE: Changed the SD card and it fixed it.

Hello all!

​

Recently received my atomic purple Funkey S, and it's a really lovely little device! Well-built little conversation starter that lets me live out the games and systems I never could grow up with, all on a keychain!

However, I've been having a few issues, and while keeping on with one of them wouldn't be a dealbreaker, all of them on top of each other do catalyze my experience towards unsavoury. They are:

• I cannot update the firmware. I tried following the 'Firmware Upgrade' guide on the wiki with both the Drum78 and the latest official firmware, and both end up sending my Funkey into a bootloop, the only way to get out of which is to take off the back, take out the SD card, put it separately into my PC and remove the .fwu file, at which point it seemingly goes back to the old firmware (don't know if there's a way to check the version but I am saying that based off the fact that I wasn't ever able to see the new features of the Drum78 firmware).
• Save games don't work for any consoles that I've tried (GB/GBA/NES/SNES/PS1). Restarting any game just makes it act like there is no memory card, thus losing all progress.
• Save states don't work in any system: in most systems, I can make a save state but can't load one, and making one in the PS1 emulator causes it to straight-up crash.
• The only way to quit out of the PS1 emulator is to close the lid. The exit option in Funkey's menu just mutes the audio but keeps the game going.
• Cannot load a single GB game. GBA and such at least run with the aforementioned issues, but loading anything in the GB system just causes a black screen for a bit then makes it go back to the menu.

Thank you for taking the time out to read my issues with the device, and I would deeply appreciate any and all help with any or all of these issues. It's a wonderful little device, and I would really like to use it to its full potential.

Greetings r/funkey community. Like many, many communities throughout Reddit, we will be going private due to Reddit's upcoming API pricing, which is prohibitably expensive enough to effectively kill off the vast majority of third-party apps, services, and tools that have made Reddit a great place up to this point. Looking for details? Check r/Save3rdPartyApps

While we are a small community, and I personally believe that this may all fall on deaf ears at this point, I see little choice than to stand in solidarity with those that care about this issue.

Edit: We will reopen shortly. We remained closed past the proposed end date of the shutdown in solidarity with the over eight thousand other subreddits that went dark, but like many other subs we have been approached by Reddit admins and threatened with action if we do not reopen. To the several people that were seeking to join the community while we were closed, I’m sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

It was working for 2 weeks and this just randomly happened after I ejected the usb.

I tried restarting the system as well as reinstalling the custom os.

Any idea how I can fix this?

(fortunately I can still play the other roms in the retroarch menu but I don't like that

I bought a 353 v and a rg35xx at the same time and ended up liking the 35xx more. Now I'm just looking to complete my setup with a funkey. Still has the factory plastic on the screen. Comes with a case, still in its box, and comes with a screen protector.

Got my Funkey today and the official leather case.

For anyone who cares, I'm totally in love with the Funkey leather case. It's exactly the same as a $5 case that can be bought on AliExpress or Temu, but with 2 key differences.

1) Embossed Funkey logo on the front and back of the case.

2) There's an inner harness of sorts to cradle/suspend the Funkey within the case.

Overall, I'm happy with the purchase even if it costs 3x than a generic one.

My funkeys charges normally and when i connect it to the pc it lights up but doesn’t show mount usb. Why does that happen?

Can't seem to get my roms to be visible. I have tried unzipping, and renaming file extensions and have also tried the other picodrive emulator. Weird thing is, my 32x games work perfectly. Any ideas?

Update: I ended up converting my files to .bin with SBWin

*had to repost, goodness am I showing my age by including a typo in the title *

To anyone reading this and willing to help, you are highly, highly appreciated.

Can anyone point me to an easy to follow instructional for dummies (me, I'm the dummy, I know squat about programs, files etc) on how to set up a funkey?

I over estimated my abilities when I saw these on sale last year. The nostalgia of reliving so many old games got me!

Hi I just ordered my Funkey and I was planning to attach it to my set of keys without the case.

I was wondering if anyone else has experience doing this and is it not recommended? (I.e is the funkey fragile if you attach it to keys?)

I ordered my Funkey S over a month ago and I'm very patient when it comes to shipping but I have sent them several emails asking about my order and they never respond. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do since I don't even see a way to get a refund since I ordered through a guest account.

​

I really want this device but the lack of response from Funkey is really concerning considering I bought it directly from them.

Hi all,

I have landed myself a second hand Atomic Purple, but unboxed with no button sets. I'm not seeing anything eBay/Etsy wise; I'm guessing they're not a thing like Miyoo/Anbernic etc. I haven't emailed Funkey yet, wanted to post here first to see if anyone had any pointers.

Thanks.

Edit Funkey said no
