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!!)
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).
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
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)
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
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!
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
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.
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
(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.
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
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
I remember my favorite games in 2016 were the neighborhood of robloxia, roblox highschool, prison break, superhero/villain tycoon, and a fnaf roleplay game
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 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.
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)
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.
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
