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
AHTZEE is, not surprisingly, an implementation of the dice game Yahtzee. The main game screen is well designed: the scorecard layout is clean and the PETSCII dice look good. I found the re-rolling input procedure a little counter-intuitive but quickly got used to it. I also had to get used to the reality that the random number generator absolutely hates me. I couldn't roll a single Yahtzee over the course of several games, which I guess makes this version a fairly realistic simulation.
