So, I'm trying to install Mac OS 7 into the Basilisk Emulator, but I can't find very clear instructions on how to do that. Or if anyone has a Basilisk disk image with System 7 installed, that's cool too. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Basilisk sucks. Use SheepShaver instead. It sucks too, but slightly less.
You'll find documentation at that site.

Okay, I finally had the chance to check out SheepShaver, and it doesn't support System 7.
There's no particular reason why I have to run system 7, it's just that it's my second favorite OS (my first being OS X), and I've been dying to use it again.
I got it running under Mini vMac though, but it doesn't support color.

Where did you get that crazy idea? The web site clearly says "SheepShaver runs MacOS 7.5.2 thru MacOS 9.0.4"
I know all about why someone would want to run System 7... I run system7today.com.
I prefer Basilisk II to Sheepshaver. I've found SheepShaver to be very unstable while Basilisk II has worked well for me. I've actually written a guide to installing Mac OS 7.5 on Basilisk II. See here: http://emuscene.com/wiki/index.php/Basilisk_II_Setup_Guide. Hopefully that helps you out.
Ahh, Basilisk Keeps Crashing!
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I got it. Just having a little trouble booting.
EDIT 2: Voila! It's now functional!

It might have something to do with running the ever-crappy 7.5 a an emulated PowerPC system. 7.6 versions are far more stable, and would be more appropriate there.
Both Basilisk and SheepShaver are really unstable, though, and the best solution is to spend $10 and get yourself some nice Power Mac on eBay.
Okay, I think Basilisk hid my desktop folder (it doesn't show up in my user folder, unless I turn on "Show hidden and system files" in TinkerTool. Is there some way to unhide it, because I'm getting a little pissed off here.
