I try to download Keyclone but I don't know if I'm downloading the right thing, and when I download from that button up there that says "Keyclone" it just gets me a weird document with strange symbols. ?( I'm using a mac, how do I get it? ;( Me wants real bad! If you could get me it... I'd be soooooooo :thumbsup:

Yeah Keyclone doesn't work for macs; use the Search function and look for "CloneKey" or "CloneKeys"; it's the Mac alternative to Keyclone, and made by a different person than Keyclone was despite the similar names lol

Pfft emulators don't count, if they're gonna do that and abandon their precious mac system in the first place they should move over to a non-Fisher Price computer ;p

I'm impressed that the emulators are able to pass the keystrokes to the parent OS... are they also running WoW on the emulator or is KeyClone somehow able to capture those windows even though they are on the mac? (Like is MacOS enumerating the processes to the windows emulation?)

These emulators usually aren't emulators. They are usually an implementation of the Windows API for a different Operating System. Wine (for Linux) does that too. It implements the Windows API and also puts the hardware into some kind of abstraction layer.
In this case, keyboard and mouse input would go over such an abstraction layer so the Windows and non-Windows programs can interact (e.g. stuff like copy pasting could work)
