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. D64 disk images can also be inspected for PRG files.

Game Notes
Over the summer between grade 11 and 12 I bought a PET but mine was the latest 4032 model.
Space Invaders would not run on my PET because the ROMS were slightly different so I taught myself 6502 machine code and modified Space Invaders so it would run on both 3032 and 4032 machines.
One of my good friends loved the game Defender and asked me to write a PET version. I told him the PET was not powerful enough to do it. A few months later I saw a version of Scramble on the PET and was amazed that it played so well and decided to try and write a Defender clone.
I only had a cassette tape player on my PET so my version of Defender (I called it "Paladin") was written in 13k of machine code using the hex editor.
