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
GBOOK is a grade-keeping utility for teachers. The program is split into two parts: GBOOKA allows you to create or edit class lists and save them to a data file on tape, while GBOOKB allows you to enter grades for a student list created with Part A. The student list creator program seems competent enough, but without a student list data file on tape there's no way for me to evalate the grade entry program. Even though I doubt anybody will run these programs today—there are modern grade-book programs and even a simple Excel spreadsheet is enough to get the job done—these programs represent the spirit of the early days of personal computing: if you couldn't find a program to do what you wanted, you'd simply write your own in BASIC.
