## What is Scanline Emulator?

Relive retro gaming, rendered with obsessive, physics-driven CRT accuracy. 

Scanline is an ultra accurate emulator for classic home console games, engineered from the ground up around one obsession: making games look exactly the way they did on the CRTs they were designed for. Every scanline & phosphor glow recreated in real time and floating in your space.

Includes "Scanline" the game, an Original 8-Bit Puzzler
Scanline ships with a complete, brand-new game built for the era it celebrates. Scanline is a fast-falling block puzzler with a twist: clear the board by matching four, chain combos as the tempo climbs, and chase a high score that gets tougher the deeper you go. 

Powered by PhosphorEngine™ 
Our display pipeline models the physics of a real cathode-ray tube:
• Authentic scanlines.
• Phosphor persistence and RGB aperture-grille emulation.
• Screen curvature, vignetting, and glass reflection.
• Input choice of RGB, Composite, or RF.
• Color temperature selection.

Designed for iPhone
• Supports multiple orientations and view modes.
• Browse your collection with beautifully rendered covers.
• Custom emulation core built for ultra low latency that keeps gameplay responsive.
• Support for connected game controllers
• Support for .nes files
• Support for .sfc, .smc files
• Support for .md, .sms, .gg files

Play the included game right away, or bring your own game files.  Scanline does not include or provide any additional game content other than 'Scanline' the game.

### 5/5 — Works great with most of my NES and SNES ROMs

*2026-09-20*

I had about 98 NES ROMs and 106 SNES ROMs that I wanted to try out with this that I’ve been saving for years and most of them worked pretty well but a few of them refused to load and just gave me a blank startup screen. Partly this was because some of my ROMs were actually bad, but I replaced them with good versions and that fixed most, but not all, of my issues. Some still do not load for whatever reason, but it is down to only like 2% of my collection. This is a really good app, but I wish there were just a few changes. For example, it would be nice to adjust the size of the screen or choose between different types of TVs, or even have no TV at all and just play on a big resizable spacial screen. But those are rather minor gripes that do not really deserve to deduct even 1 star from the overall rating. The dev did a great job here and is actually really friendly and helpful on the Discord! Thank you!
