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
Fire = A
To Start press a number 1-9 (amout of fuel to start with)
if you want an extra long game press SPACE to show a '?' then press '?'
fixed title screen.Star Force is very similar to the arcade game Star Fire. The player must shoot TIE Fighters from a first-person perspective.
Using the numeric keys the player can rotate the view into any directions. Each time the player hits a TIE Fighter it will explode and the player will receive points.
If the player holds the targeting reticule on a TIE Fighter for a while it will lock-on, any hit after that will automatically hit.
The TIEs also shoot back. Although the player cannot die from hits, it does reset the score multiplier. The game is over when the player is out of fuel.
The player must be conservative with lasers as each shot will build up heat, if the player fires too many lasers in a row the firing mechanism will overheat, leaving the player vulnerable for a while.
The player can also control the speed of his spacecraft to either slow or fast. In the HUD a small radar view is visible which shows where TIE Fighters are about.
