I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on my Toshiba Satellite U505 (4GB RAM, Intel Pentium, Intel Mobile Chipset 4, I believe were the specs) But whenever I try to boot, it will get past the Mac logo but then only show a mouse on a grey screen. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or do I need another bootloader flag?

8086:2a42 is GMA 4500MHD. It is not supported by any version of OS X/macOS.

So I can't install? I've installed OS X Yosemite and Mountain Lion but they both didn't look like they were supporting my graphics card, the reason I'm trying Snow Leopard is because I heard that this was the last version supporting my graphics card.
