Under the header "Build Executables" you can see that gtk3 is supported if build
via meson or code::blocks
Adjusting the title to reflect this.
I see that there is a desmume-gtk3 package listed in debian/control, but
commented out. My guess would be that it was left disabled either
because it didn't work well enough, or because adding a new desmume-gtk3
package would require "NEW queue" processing by the archive administrators.
Now that Debian 14 'forky' development has opened, it might be a good
time to re-enable the GTK GUI, this time using GTK 3.
