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
CodeWorks - Cursor was primarily focused on producing educational and entertainment software for the Commodore PET, a popular computer at the time. Their games often featured straightforward designs due to the technical limitations of the hardware, which typically supported text-based interfaces or very basic graphics. While "Zip" is not as well-known as other titles from the era, it is likely that the game followed a similar design philosophy, offering simple, engaging gameplay tailored to the capabilities of the Commodore PET.
Unfortunately, there is limited information available about "Zip" specifically, as it does not appear in major retro gaming databases or historical records with significant detail. The game is occasionally mentioned in discussions about CodeWorks - Cursor's catalog, but no screenshots, manuals, or detailed descriptions have surfaced to provide a clearer picture of its content or design. As with many obscure titles from this era, "Zip" remains a minor footnote in the history of early computer gaming.
