Hi

I'm not completely sure (we would need to find some docs about this) but 
IIRC PC keyboards can't handle so many pressed keys at the same time.
On ST, you get an event for each key press and TOS for example can keep 
a list of all pressed keys. But on PC I think that it might be HW 
limited and the OS will receive some release events when too many keys 
are pressed.
As such, the emulator is limited by the capabilties of the PC keyboard :(
