Retro game boxes rendered in 3D

Your Collection, Beautifully Rendered

Browse your library as beautifully rendered game boxes, complete with worn edges and original artwork, just like you remember them on the shelf.

A realistic CRT, obsessively recreated.

Every stage of a real tube is simulated: scanlines, phosphor glow, halation, even the curvature and the power-on flash. Choose your tube's age, from showroom-new to well-loved.

Phosphor Accurate Rendering

The picture is decoded from a genuine NTSC signal, so colours bleed and dithered edges shimmer just like real hardware, finished with a pixel-locked phosphor grille and beam-accurate scanlines.

Powerful Emulation

Auto-saving states, ultra-low input latency and enhanced stereo sound. All the power of modern emulation behind an authentic vintage picture.

Save States

Your progress saves itself every 30 seconds and resumes exactly where you left off, with manual save slots for the moments you want to keep.

Game Stats

Playtime, streaks and sessions, tracked quietly as you play. Everything stays on your device and is never sent anywhere.

Low Latency

Run-ahead removes the game's own input delay, so games respond up to two frames sooner, right at the hardware floor.

The Scanline game box

Your pack-in game, included.

Every great system shipped with one. Scanline comes packed in: an original action puzzle. Match the gems, time the line. And when you're ready, bring your own games.
