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
I'm not convinced that anybody would have run this program as-is, but someone looking to write their own time-tracking application in BASIC would find some great ideas to steal in the code.TCARD is an employee time-tracking application with some clever ways to input and validate time "punches" in and out. The program is credited to Glen Fisher, and the BASIC listing has a line that says REM INSPIRED BY A PROGRAM BY HERB SANDY. I'm guessing that means that Herb Sandy submitted a program to CURSOR and Fisher put it through substantial refactoring to get it ready for publication.
