the reason why you can see games but cant play games is because this is the page for people that played as Guests, when roblox removed them, the ability to play it got away too, so you can just browse it very low
its not the page for guests, the error shows that the webpage attempted to redirect to market://details (the launcher url for the google play store) when clicking the join button this means that its still using the same html from current roblox (probably s or some android function) and it still has the functionality, it still notices that the person is using an android, so it tries to open in the app, or google play if they dont have the app, and it fails (its not a browser!!)
Thats One Reason, The Other 2 Reasons Are, That It Uses A Old Game Client From 2016 (Which With The Amount Of Updates Roblox Had Since 2016 It Wouldn't Work) And The 2nd Reason Is Cus It Uses Old API Endpoints
The old Roblox app was just a browser that opens the Roblox sites. As you can see at 5:48, this is an old error from like 2012 used in browsers for Android. It was used until 2018 when slowly browser creators introduced their own error screens. Some browsers still display this one (like the Roblox app).
same i started playing in late 2015 as a guest, made my first actual account in march 2016 then had to make a new account in 2017 cuz the 2016 one got hacked (i fell for one of those free robux scams when i was a kid)
@@y_d3f same but I didn't get hacked I hacked i just forgot the username cause i was spamming random letters (I played first as a guest than made an account mid 2015)
hey, i'm an admin for Legacyverse, i wanted to say thank you for trying the game! I hope you enjoyed it and i also hope for whoever checks out the game that they'll enjoy it. It's a one-man work made by profesor, and i am really glad a big youtuber like you checked it out toodles
A lot of people have actually modified the old client to have it fully working with all the new apis with Roblox android this gives you the full ability to use the app and play games
For the people who don't know and not even Sharkblox: The Profile and the Catalog Items are just stuff that you can find on the new Website (in mobile), And it does not change any aspect of the website to 2016-2017 era style, it is only just the app itself.
I managed to get the 2016 roblox client working on ios 15.8.1 by finding a 2016 client on the internet archive and changing some values to bypass the upgrade screen. Looks a bit weird because modern roblox is still broken for me but nonetheless it works
Yea, I remember having a phone I think probably before ugc, I think it was when that police box back accessory was first released. And the sign in background was a Rollercoaster!
Same, around 2009-2011 for me. 2016 still feels like the new era of Roblox for me, even though I know it's been ages since then. Probably because Roblox stopped being Roblox back in 2019-2020, it basically died in my mind and so I don't see it as a new era but the end of an era and the death of the platform. Sad times.
Theres also a revival called "Economy Simulator: Reborn" that has an android client from 2016, u can play games but i dont think the controls work whatsoever. The only way to possibly play it on android is by using controller that has bluetooth
This works because when you open Roblox, it's not the app itself that opens, but a page on the Roblox website opens, it's kind of like a browser. Guys, please like this comment so that everyone can see it :P
(for tablet users) you can also glitch out the roblox upgrade option by being on portrait mode first, it then forces it to go into landscape mode and it glitches it off.

How to find your profile easily: 1. Join a group that has made a popular game that you can easily find on the 2016 mobile version (on alt device obliviously) 2. Search for that game on the front page, open the group and you should be albe to find your account in the members since it shows the most recent ones, worst case scenario you might have to scroll a few pages but overall it will take you 3 minutes at most.
since MOST errors are caused by missing, removed, or outdated api links. i wonder what would happen if you decompiled and updated those links. because then, theoretically you might be able to get into games.
bro, i thought it works on sign up on the app and login on the web after 1 whole hour of trying with no success, and then i thought i missed some steps. And you were just trolling, nice one james.
The most surprising part of all this is I remember when this icon was added, cant believe that was 8 years ago. It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long..
I found out if you sideload new roblox and then replace the app with the old build you sign in…It works as well as you expect it to, it lets you browse settings and it shows your friends etc.
YESSIR ANDROID HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH (Of course... Android is just built differently from iOS. Those suckers hate apks, which I mean hey; at least it's to be safe, right?)
There's a way to "log-in" in the app, and that is by using the "Log with another device" thing, just go to a random game, try to click the like button and use the cross device login method.
I have a version of Roblox 2016 that work but the thing thats different about the version i got is that if you play games from early-mid 2016 or other old games it shows the og 2016 loading menu
I love the fact that theres some dude saying "Brainrot kids will never ever have it" like dude the kids dont need to have this as their "nostalgia". You cant do anything its their own liking. Not trying to be rude, im just saying.
I remember every day in 2017 opening Roblox on my crappy Android tablet, pressing the play now button, seeing the Welcome to Roblox screen (The logo that came up was the 2017 one obviously), and playing games as a guest.
this doesnt really matter but its something that annoys me a bit but in all of the "legacy" roblox simulators they all use the current lighting instead of the compatability one and it just ruins it for me, compatibility was like the default lighting mode in 2015 it just makes everything less vibrant and the shadows more smooth but its really nostalgic
maybe someone already knew this, but you can use a theme on stylish for chrome to make the roblox page look like its form 2016/2017 (i think its for pc only)
