Scanline — Updates

Latest

Version 1.1

September 2026

SNES Emulation

Scanline now plays Super Nintendo games. The 16-bit generation arrives with its bigger palettes, layered backgrounds and sampled sound, all drawn through the same tube as everything else in your library.

Physical Lighting on visionOS 27

Scanline is updated for visionOS 27 and its new projective texture and physical lighting APIs. Light from the CRT now leaves the set entirely, spilling into your room and lighting the floor, walls and furniture around it, the way a real tube does in the dark.

Version 1.0.2

September 2026

Frame Glow

The picture no longer stops at the edge of the tube. Light from the screen spills onto the frame and the surface around it, and bright scenes throw reflections back across the glass, so the set sits in your room instead of floating in it.

Online Play

Scanline now emulates the Rainbow cartridge board, Wi-Fi chip included, so games written for it can reach their own servers and match you against other players. See the games that support it.
