Author here. What are you executing? It works fine on AMD Ryzen for me. That error message doesn't appear in the blinkenlights.com binary. It also doesn't perform that CPUID check. The only place I can find that error message online is for a fizzbuzz codegolf. Perhaps you're confusing sectorlisp with a another project? Also, Blinkenlights should work fine in the Windows 10 Command Prompt. So WSL isn't required but it does run on that too. https://justine.lol/sectorlisp/spooky.png
Oh, silly me. I hadn't noticed you need the `-t` flag to open the TUI and assumed that since the TUI didn't open that the error was from blinkenlights.
Glad I could help. Hope you enjoy Das Blinkenlights. Press '?' for help. Useful shortcuts for controlling execution are 'c', 'C', Ctrl-C, Ctrl-T, and Alt-T. Memory panels can be scrolled with the mouse wheel. You can also zoom in or zoom out the memory display with ctrl mouse wheel, although that might not be available in CMD.EXE and you might need to use something like KiTTY, XTerm, or PuTTY.
