::::::::::::::::GUIDE::::::::::::::::
Main Requirements:

Installation of Mountain Lion:
-Purchase and create Mountain Lion using Unibeast: http://www.tonymacx86.com/61-unibeast-install-os-x-mountain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html (DO NOT FOLLOW THE MULTIBEAST INSTALLATION)
-After the Installation has completed, it will restart and use boot flag:
This boot flag will enables you to boot in safe mode. Note that you cannot use your keyboard in safemode in my experience so you will be needing a USB Keyboard and Mouse to continue the installation.
-Download Multibeast for Mountain Lion and Kextbeast here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=3
Patching HD Graphics 4000:
-Patch your DSDT (This will enables your HD Graphics 4000 on 1366X768 pixel):
If you have the same model as mine, download my DSDT from attachment.
