Half-Life on a flash drive

I heard somewhere that you could put half-life on a usb flash drive in a way that you could plug it into a computer and start playing no instillation needed. Is this possible with a 4gig and how do I do it?

#2

What the… I’m pretty sure you’d have to install it. butt I don’t know for a fact, so this post was pretty useless. :confused:

#3

I did it with non-steam version

#4

Care to enlighten Garthbatin or are you talking bollocks?

#5

Thank you.

#6

works with WON Version

EDIT: I have the WON Version and can’t register it on steam and the steam support doesn’t let me register the version :frowning:

#7

download only if you have the legal steam version that you bought.

If you didn’t buy it and download anyway you are a very bad person.

#8

Somebody plz tell me how?

It seems like you all know how to do this but none of you will tell me how. ):<

Thanks, Sersoft pm’d me the solution.

#9

hmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting have to try it

#10

Well, if you have the WON version, then I assume you can do a standalone version fairly simply.

A standalone Steam version is far more complicated and would involve a Steam emulator and other such things, the discussion of which is, I believe, verboten, since it breaks Steam’s EULA.

Doesn’t HL require registry entries for the CD keys and such?

#12

Yep, thinking the same thing

#13

It can be done with a standalone ilegal version. As sersoft said, if you own an orignal copy, then its not too bad. If not, your a very naughty boy.

#14

Hell, you can do it with most games now-a-days. At least, standalone singleplayer games you can. I’ve bought games, installed them on one computer, patched it all, then realized I should of done it on another, so I either just copy all the installed information to a dvd, or just to another harddrive. Either way, about 7 times out of 10, it’ll work.

I am currently attempting to do this with a downloaded no-steam copy of HL2, but it’s just a few megabytes to big for my flash drive. Does anybody know what files I could delete without causing any problems and remove about 100 megabytes? Maybe, if there are any, files that are only needed for running mods?
