I'm trying to dual boot, but when I open up BootCamp, it just says: "You must update your computers Boot ROM firmware before using this setup assistant." and my Boot ROM Version is just: "MultiBeast.tonymacx86.com" and I'm not sure how to change it or what I need to change it to. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

BootCamp doesn't work on hacks and there is no need for it, because it is a PC...

For a simple dual boot guide, see: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html
 
Ohh, okay. I was originally just going to dual boot it normally, but then I was advised to just use bootcamp, didn't know it wouldn't work. Thanks for the guide! I'll try it out and hope it all works fine!

Is that guide mostly the same for installing Windows 7, or should I find another one? (Sorry, I'm totally new to all of this.)

Win8 and Win7 install procedure is identical.
 
Actually bootcamp works fine using clover, In Mavericks/Yosemite, it opens up perfectly.

Why not then share your knowledge of this and write a Clover + Bootcamp dual boot guide for the noob?
Give step by step directions for installation / setup and write it clearly enough that even the least experienced can understand what to do.

I can't be asked to do a guide on clover installation.. all I did was create a bootable clover installer, basically followed the 10.10 clover guide, it just worked, has it not worked for you? at the moment, I'm having issues with mountain lion running it, (You must update your computer's Boot ROM firmware before using this setup assistant.) same as the op :/

Not necessary to do a guide for Clover installation - just link to the guide you used. It is after you have installed OS X and are setting up Windows with boot camp you write the guide for. What did you do to make it work? What steps did you take to install Windows with bootcamp?
Write a step by step guide and test it for yourself several times, starting from scratch with a fresh install of OS X and make sure your directions work as stated before you post it.
