roblox for 3ds

[xXjulian068Xx]

I've always wondered if roblox could be played on the 3ds, either officially, or a homebrew port.

The truth is that I have low expectations that it can be done, since not even the new 3ds meets the minimum requirements of roblox, but I have hope since the power of homebrew is unlimited.

I don't know if that's possible, I'm new here, so I don't know if it's possible, but I hope I have an answer to clear up doubts.

System hardware requirements​

• Graphics Card: On PC/Windows, the Roblox application requires DirectX 10 or higher feature level support. For the best performance we recommend either a computer less than 5 years old with a dedicated video card, or a laptop less than 3 years old with an integrated video card.
• Processor: Roblox recommends you have a recent processor (2005+) with a clock speed of 1.6 Ghz or better. There have been some issues with older AMD processors.
• RAM or Memory: Roblox recommends you have at least 1 GB of memory on Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10
• Storage Space: Roblox recommends you have at least 20 Mb of system storage space to install Roblox.

Roblox's aggressive anticheat and the shitheads in corporate made it impossible to run on Linux, even with a Windows emulator.

Do you really think that the same anticheat will permit an unofficial 3DS port? Not to mention the insane amount of work needed to fully reverse-engineer the engine.

I wouldn't have thought it would run at all, not the same game anyway. Would have to be "Roblox Lite" with hardly any custom games.

I've seen videos on how to download Openblox for the NDS, but is said it doesn't work for 3DS. However, it said it can run on emulators. You could use TwilightMenu++ to load OpenBlox, then you can use your 3DS to play.

Here's the tutorial I used:

If you just want to try the game on a 3DS, you can set up Sunshine on a PC and run Moonlight on the 3DS. Limited Wi-Fi speed will cause it to be a pretty mediocre experience though.

a downgraded one probably if the dsi can handle openblox

 

[jwinexe]

You could try openblox which is basically 2006-2010 Roblox for the ds

Sadly openblox doesn't work on 3ds as far as I tried

It should be possible to run it, I assume it's some kind of missing part of setup, or letting it access the file system maybe?
What sort of error were you running into?

Because of noobs on this thread.

Let's try old roblox

Do it then. Sorry to be blunt, but nobody going to do it for you.
Read the full thread for details on the complexity of such thing.

Openblox exists but it's for ds

Here's the thing- Roblox is a closed-source proprietary platform.

That means if we want to port it to another platform, we have to reverse-engineer the entire engine and network protocol, and precisely reconstruct the whole thing. That is not an easy process at all, and it would take months of endless work in the community.

Not to mention Roblox will not be happy about it, since reverse-engineering is directly related to exploiting. Chances are all their efforts will become nothing the moment after Roblox acts against it, which further demotivates the commumity to do this.

Unless they decide to open-source their client or port it themselves (which are both very unlikely), you will sadly not be seeing this happen.
