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
In PICKUP, you move around a cluttered screen picking up matching PETSCII symbols and returning them to one of the goal squares in the corners. Control with the numeric keypad is tricky but according to the flyer, control with the joystick (optional) is even trickier. You can control the speed and time limit for the game. Blitz mode (maximum speed, one minute time limit) is a real challenge. Be prepared to embrace imperfection.
