I don't use Windows stuff anymore. Not even for gaming... I'd like to keep my peace of mind as much as possible. On the other hand, Linux has many advanced features used here that are not possible in Windows, like symlinks to start different versions of the app. Sorry for the inconvenience, but you can still try Debian (the all-time best Linux-distro IMO) on a 2nd bootable partition. While Linux has its quirks as well, you might like its flexibility.

Glad to see that Linux support comes handy. I utilize many Unix/Linux features now like symlinks so it comes naturally in a way.
I just compiled, tested and uploaded the 32bit ARM (in other name 'armel', no hardware-acceleration for floating point) which runs on e.g. the Raspberry Pi Zero. With 1GHz default CPU setting on the Zero it's possible to use SID-Wizard but it still seems to only be stable enough (sound, keys) within linux framebuffer terminal in TUI-mode (Running SIDwizard with '-tui' / '-cli' / '-TUI' argument). The 1SID version has max. 60% CPU usage with low-quality SID setting, and max. 80% with high-quality SID-emulation on the Zero. Even SIDwizard-2SID is usable with low-quality SID-emulation where it eats around 80..84% CPU on my Zero. Key-combinations are much more limited on the Linux fbcon/framebuffer terminal but for that I provided some alternatives like Shift+8 to exit, Shift+F1/F2/F3/F4 for follow-playback, Ctrl+SPACE in place of Shift+Space, Shift+\ to write gate-on into patterns, Ctrl+U to undo, etc. (See the manual/changelog for further details if interested.)
(It's a pity that the key-repeat delay can't be turned off consistently in linux terminals so the first piano-key notes are short but holding down piano-keys at least produces continuous sound with my little 'key-hold' tweak for key-repetitions.)

This is a reworked version of SID-Wizard with lots of new PC/emulation-features, including newest optimized and higher-quality (sinc-resampler) cRSID-1.56 engine, TUI-based interface, config-file loading/saving, better oscilloscope, main-volume setting, better-automatized Makefile settings, etc. For full changelog see native/manuals/ChangeLog.txt or the user-manual.
Starting with this version I only test and build on Linux but still use cross-platform external/internal libraries to ease porting to other OSes.
ARM-version of the .deb package for Raspberry Pi Zero will be uploaded later today.
(Feature-wise I did everything that was wanted, so I don't plan for new versions anytime soon, maybe only for fixes.)
