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
WIPEOUT is a dice game where you try to eliminate the numbers 1 through 12 based on the results of your rolls. You can't eliminate a number twice, and if you can't eliminate anything, it's game over. To play a perfect game, at minimum, you'd need to roll a 12 (1 in 36 chance), an 11 (1 in 18 chance), and a 10 (1 in 12 chance) in addition to the right combination of rolls to eliminate all the smaller numbers. The odds are really stacked against you. I played about a dozen games before I put this one away, and in my best game, only eliminated 9 of 12 numbers.
