Game input holds PET matrix keys down until you physically release them, which is best for arcade games. Type input keeps the original short-tap queue for entering BASIC commands.
Charset Auto lets PET software switch normally. Graphics or Business forces the selected character ROM for compatibility/testing.
Changing RAM or ROM resets the PET. Some programs need ROM2/ROM4 or 16K/32K.
The sound slider controls the emulated PET VIA speaker. Modern browsers require a click before audio can start, so Start Game also enables audio.
The emulator has an IEEE-488 device at address 8 for loading/saving .prg files.

Game Notes
Acey Deucy is a card game written by Vince Mills for the Commodore PET, a popular early personal computer. The game is a digital adaptation of the traditional card game Acey Deucy, also known as "In-Between" or "Red Dog," which involves betting on whether a third card will fall between two dealt cards in value. Vince Mills was known for creating simple yet engaging games for the Commodore PET during the late 1970s and early 1980s, a period when personal computing was still in its infancy.
The game was likely distributed as a type-in program, meaning users would manually enter the code from printed sources like magazines or books to play it on their Commodore PET. This was a common distribution method for software at the time, especially for hobbyist programmers and small-scale developers. The publisher of Acey Deucy remains unknown, as many early computer games were self-published or distributed informally without formal attribution.
Vince Mills' work, including Acey Deucy, contributed to the growing library of software available for the Commodore PET, which was one of the first widely successful personal computers. While specific details about the game's release date, distribution, or reception are scarce, it remains a part of the early history of computer gaming, reflecting the simplicity and creativity of that era.
