You can't play Half-Life 2 Episode 2 on the Orange Box straight from the disc since HL2 EP2, Portal and TF2 are broken on the disc. On the detonation release which is older "half-life 2 game dialog" does exist but on the Orange Box this is included in "base source engine 2" (it's also included in …

I would do one at a time since you should be extracting each to their own folder.

See my quote in https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=859057#p859057 You need to extract each .gcf to their own folder and then copy from that folder to your destination. Don't select games in the Phoenix interface. You can probably figure out how to do it within the Phoenix interface but it's not …

As previously mentioned EP2, Portal, and TF2 are broken on the Orange Box DVD. You'll either need to use the latest versions by connecting to Steam and downloading them, hunting down the 2007 GCFs that were uploaded by someone who downloaded the Orange Box from Steam when it was released or find a …

Only extract what you need: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=859057#p859057 You don't need to install nor should you want to, "source 2007 binaries" gcf should have hl2.exe. As for revemu it depends on the version. The revemu with the steam.dll of 6-5-2010 can be placed in the same folder as …

Something else to try would be to see if there are any original Orange Box releases with 2007 GCF files and then compare against the Orange Box files to verify they are from the same build and then just that. You'll usually see people recommend the detonation release but as mentioned previously it's …

It's been a decade plus but IIRC you need to upgrade over your 2k install to switch the HAL. If you switched in device manager and the computer BSOD then you need to do an emergency repair and manually replace the files back.
