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
WEATHER is a simple BASIC program that asks the user for two recent barometric readings along with the current wind speed, cloud cover, and temperature. From this data, the program attempts to come up with a short-range forecast. CURSOR makes "absolutely no claims that it is accurate or correct," so I'm guessing they wouldn't recommend you use this program when planning a picnic. You'll likely have to do a bit of unit conversion: instead of the metric kiloPascals (kPa), the program expects barometric pressure to be measured in inches of mercury (inHg).
