if not, you can use this method on the infamous 'jeans' hardfile that you can find online or on some cucd. or try to find macos8.1 classic.

The issue I'm having now is that I boot up into 7.6.1, and as per shapeshifter instructions, I set the hard drive partiton I want to use in the prefs. OS comes up, says it needs to be initialized. I say OK, give it a name, it churns for 30 minutes, then says Disk Initialization failed. I'm not sure what is messing up.

annoying, but sounds familiar. I had loads of issues configuring a partition for mac emulation. in the end I had to split it in 2. That worked, somehow. Also make sure its below the first 4GB of your drive! You need to boot from the Jeans hardfile. After macos has loaded, it will ask you to initialise the new partition. this should now work. then copy the files over from the hardfile to your partition. hardfiles are in general the better option. but a dedicated partition is ofcourse way cooler.. :) good luck.

let me know your greatest finds, please. compatibility and availability were dissapointing for me. a lot of games you find online need a ppc processor. I only found 3 playable demos and a few old simulators so far. they do run great though, the emulation is pretty good. I do use Fusion instead of Shapeshifter, but there are hardly any speed differences. have fun.

fun :) natgeo has some great cd's, dvd's and blu-ray's these days..

what system are you running shapeshifter on? a graphics card makes an amazing difference. I refuse to use my Amiga without one. go buy one NOW. seriously.
