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
GAMMON lets you play backgammon against the PET. The board display makes excellent use of minimalistic PETSCII graphics. The program requires 16K of RAM, so don't expect to run it on the original 8K PET 2001. A significant portion of that 16K is used up by the game's instructions—there are a lot of screenfuls of instructional text.
