Then you can run OS X Mountain Lion or other newer versions of OS X long term on the Elite 8000. This will allow you to make your Unibeast installer for a newer version of OS X. After you install from the DVD it's best to download the 10.6.8 combo update and run that. The Snow Leopard retail DVD has version 10.6.3. Having at least Snow Leopard 10.6.6 running on a PC is required to download OS X from the Mac App Store (MAS). You cannot make the Unibeast installer on a Windows PC or in a VM running OS X.

Not all hardware is compatible with this approach and many will give up in frustration because they cannot access the Mac App Store to get OS X. iBoot + Multibeast method is used as a temporary solution to get OS X Snow Leopard installed from the DVD.
