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
"Blasto!" is a lesser-known game developed by Robert Noteboom and published by CodeWorks - Cursor, a company known for creating software for the Commodore PET. The game was released during the late 1970s or early 1980s, a period when the Commodore PET was a popular personal computer for both educational and home use. CodeWorks - Cursor primarily focused on producing simple, text-based or early graphical games for this platform, and "Blasto!" fits within that context.
The gameplay of "Blasto!" involves controlling a spaceship or similar vehicle, tasked with navigating through a series of levels while avoiding obstacles and enemies. The game is likely to have featured basic graphics and straightforward mechanics, typical of early computer games from that era. Given the limitations of the Commodore PET's hardware, "Blasto!" would have been a relatively simple game compared to later titles on more advanced systems.
Unfortunately, specific details about "Blasto!" are scarce, as it is not widely documented in gaming history. The game is considered a rare or obscure title, and surviving copies or detailed descriptions are difficult to find. It remains a niche piece of retro gaming history, primarily of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of early Commodore PET software.
