How to Copy Games on Roblox? Here's A Quick and easy Guide

In the past, I've used the Synapse X software a few times to copy games on Roblox, and it's worked like a charm. But with the latest Roblox updates, it no longer seems to work. Apart from that, there are a few other software that I've used, like Asset Copier for instance. But once again, it doesn't seem to work anymore.

The reasons are obvious though, copying games on Roblox violates their terms of service and can even result in you getting banned from their server. So it makes sense that they would try to limit this as much as possible. But, if you are still interested, I've run through all the methods that used to work for me in the past. You can give them a try, and maybe some of them might work for you.

How to Copy Games on Roblox?

Stealing someone else's Roblox game can get your account banned if you're reported. You'd be stealing intellectual property after all, which breaks that platform's terms of use.

Instead of straight up copying someone else's Roblox game, you can always create a brand new game of your own inspired by other users' work (more on how later).

But if you're fine with taking the risk and want to copy a game, you can use the Synapse X Software. I've personally have had luck with it - it's free and a very convenient software, making it good for newbies. Here's what Roblox players can do to copy a game:

• Download and launch the Synapse X software
• Open Roblox - click on the Puzzle icon on your home screen and log into your Roblox profile
• Once on your Roblox account, find the Roblox game that you want to copy
• Click on the game's title to launch it - the desired game's details page should open from the Roblox studio now
• Join the game
• Launch Synapse X and then add the following command - Saveinstance((decomptype - new))
• There should be a pop-up saying 'decompiling scripts'. Wait for it to load to a 100%
• Exit out of the Roblox game
• Go to File Explorer on your computer, and then head to the Synapse X folder
• Click on the Workspace file - you should see that the software saved the Roblox game that you copied
• Open the game file
• You should have Roblox Studio automatically open with the game on Roblox that you copied

What Are Some Other Methods That You Can Try?

Depending on who you speak to, there are a few other methods that you can use to copy Roblox games. I think the Synapse X is the most reliable of them, but let's talk about the other tricks that you can try.

Roblox Tools

To start off, you can use the Roblox Tools software - it's free and not that complicated to use. Here's how you use the Roblox tool.

• Download the Roblox Tool's game copier
• Extract the downloaded file
• Launch your browser
• Enable developer mode by clicking Ctrl + Shift + J at the same time
• Select the Load Unpacked button (on the top right of the page)
• Click on the extracted file
• Log into your Roblox account
• Search for the game on Roblox that you want to copy
• Click on the puzzle icon button on your browser
• Select Game Copier
• The Roblox studio should open with your game copied
• Select the Choose File button
• Choose Save as
• Launch Roblox studio, click on File
• Select Publish to Roblox
• Upload the copied file

Asset Copier Software

Asset Copier lets you inspect a game's code, and then copy it.

Although you can use it on Roblox games, keep in mind that it only works on Roblox games that haven't been locked by the author.

A locked game is basically a setting that the game author set up to stop anyone from trying to steal the original game.

Here's how Roblox players can copy Roblox game:

• Launch the game on Roblox that you want to copy
• Right-click anywhere on the screen
• Click on Inspect Element from the drop-down menu
• An overlay will pop up on the screen
• Click on the Network tab at the top
• Press the Ctrl and R buttons and wait for some web files to pop up
• Look for the file with the name of the game you want to copy - should be on the top of the list
• Right-click on the file
• Click on Copy
• Select Copy as Powershell
• Go to the Asset Copier website
• Click on Start Copying
• Open the game file when done - it should automatically launch in Roblox Studio

How Can You Copy Your Own Roblox Game?

If you've made a game before and want to copy its code, this is easier than trying to copy someone else's game. You can base a new game on the old game. All you have to do is:

• Launch Roblox studio
• Log into your Roblox account
• Click on My Roblox Games
• Search for the game you want to copy
• Left-click on it
• Click on the Edit button at the bottom of the screen
• Edit the game how you want
• Go to File once you're done with the editing
• Select Save As
• Go back to File
• Click the Publish to Roblox As button then upload the file

How Do You Create Your Own Roblox Game?

Instead of trying to copy someone else's Roblox game, you can always try and create your own game from scratch. A good starting point would be to go through a few public games and make note of the features in more successful ones, using them as features to add to your own game.

Here's part 1 of what Roblox users can do to start making games on Roblox:

• Launch the free Roblox studio
• From the Roblox studio, click on the All Templates button from the drop-down menu
• Select Line Runner, or any other game template to base your own game off of
• You should see your avatar appear in the Roblox game along with a 'Press Space to Start' button

Here's part 2 (how to customize your Roblox game)

• Click Stop to return to the Roblox Studio main screen
• Locate the Explorer Window on the right-hand side - you should see a file hierarchy
• Click on the Workspace option
• Click on the grassy area on the map. If there is a blue box on the screen, this means that the Roblox game is ready for modification
• Click on the drop-down button just below the Material Heading option
• Select Grass, then choose whatever color you want, and then choose different items on the game that you want to modify
• You can change the game lighting too - open the Lighting option, and then change the clock time from the Properties window
• You can also add the start section (the platform players spawn in). Open ReplicatedStorage > PathModules > StartModule
• Click Start, and then drag the Start option to the Workspace menu
• You should see two Walkway files - launch them, and then make any changes that you want
• Click the Save button and then press the F5 button to test your game on Roblox

FAQ

Answered below are some popular questions.

1. How Do You Know If You're Banned On Roblox?

You'll be hit with a 'Not Approved' message when you try to log into Roblox. Roblox bans sometimes aren't forever, so there's a chance that you'd just be locked out of your account for a day or two, but if you have a history of copying games, you can eventually get permanently banned if you've been reported that many times.

The good news is you can try and appeal the ban. All you have to do is reach out to the Roblox moderation team, and tell them that you'd like to appeal the ban. Just remember that you can only appeal the ban if you're within the 30-day window where it was issued.

Final Thoughts

There are a few different ways that you can use to copy games on Roblox, like using the Synapse X software, or the Asset Coppier tool. But I would generally advise you against this. Remember that you would pretty much be stealing another user's intellectual property. So, you can not only get suspended but even banned from the platform.

Like I said, I'd advise you to instead go with an original game but sprinkle in ideas and themes from other successful games in there - this will help yours be a hit, while also preventing you from fully stealing someone else's intellectual property.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, most of these methods might not work anymore, but you could give them a shot just to be sure.
