Add Falling, GBAtris and Snake desktop launchers, fixed-version downloads, ROM checksums, mGBA setup, source/license notices, and a keyboard reference. Hardware gameplay, HDMI audio, exit and desktop relaunch were verified on CM5. All 14 Bash blocks pass syntax checks; mkdocs build --strict passes.

Extend the ArmSoM CM5 source-build guide with a graphical main-menu launcher and direct desktop launchers for three homebrew games: Falling (NES/Nestopia), GBAtris 1.0 (GBA/mGBA), and Snake 2.0 (GB/mGBA). Each launcher uses the installed RetroArch icon and opens without a terminal.
The guide includes fixed-version upstream game downloads, ROM checksums, Debian mGBA core extraction and runtime dependency installation, source/license retention notes, and a concise keyboard reference. RetroArch itself remains source-built; emulator cores are prebuilt Debian packages.
Desktop setup handles missing xdg-user-dir and documents recovery from a root-owned installation to the XFCE desktop user. It checks required Ozone assets, enables mouse menu input, and sets the core/content browser directories.
Validation on native Debian 12 XFCE ARM64, CM5, October 27, 2026:
No RetroArch source changes or game binaries are included in this documentation PR.
