Odds are they aren't currently supported by your target. All supported official games (IE, those that would be in the wiki) are included automatically. It's possible that the manual only refers to them because they work on the 20gb, and nobody has adjusted them for the smaller screen yet.

Llorean, what is that causes a plugin to be included in a build?  For example, if I wanted to modify tetrox.c for the H10 5G screen dimensions, how do I then get it to compile for that platform?

For the most part, if you've actually adapted it to the screen (which is mostly a matter of making sure it uses bitmaps small enough to fit, a stopgap would be to borrow the mono bitmaps from the Archos targets until someone drew color ones, I imagine), then once the code has the proper #ifdefs in it for the target, its keymapping, and its bitmaps, add it to /apps/plugins/sources (or rather, since it's ifdeffed out in there move it into the right #ifdef block, or change its #ifdef to include the 5gb H10). Then see if it compiles/works.

I'm not sure if I've explained it the best possible, but it's not too hard as long as another target has a smaller screen, or you're willing to redraw the graphics.

The fact that those plugins are included in the manual, is because we use the feature HAVE_LCD_BITMAP to include them.

But as you may have noticed, the manual available for download from the daily builds page for the H10 5GB, is in fact the H10 20GB manual. This should be fixed. In the H10 5GB manual, you will notice a severe lack of screenshots due to the fact that these are not made or not possible to make.

(A little off topic, but might shed some light on the manual status)
