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
"Yes, you too can be a famous wallpaper designer," proclaims the flyer. PAPER asks the user to supply four characters, and then generates a repeated "wallpaper" pattern on the screen, adding some additional room details in PETSCII: a door, light switch, table, electrical outlet, and a hideous portrait. (That thing in the bottom right corner is probably meant to be a dog with an animated wagging tail.) This program could benefit from some variety in its patterns. There is only one way that the PET will place the chosen characters in sequence, meaning once you've seen one pattern, you've kind of seen them all.
