Special Protocols for HCS08 remotes?

Has anyone thought about writing HCS08 versions of all the special protocols and then figuring out the right values for all the HCS08 remotes out there?
I notice that Binky has written a
Device Multiplexor + Pause Protocol for the URC-8820, so that's a start.
User "Friday" could use an HCS08 version of the Device Multiplexor customized for the Dreambox v4 remote:

If I remember correctly, the multiplexors didn't port very well from the 8820 to the Atlas or the Comcast. They took several hours of tweaking for me to get them right. I could convert the special protocols from the extended version to the unextended version, but they would take more code because I couldn't use the common code I put in the extender and that still wouldn't guarantee that they would work with the dreambox. However without a remote I would find it very difficult to get it to test, because I do most of my work by guessing. I really should do this for the hybrid though since I do have that remote
Are these dreambox remotes European or are they available here?

I think they're European.

According to my notes,
The Device Multiplexor protocol switches to the setup code specified on the button or keymove. URC-39930 only supports 1-byte keymove.
Code: Select all
Upgrade Protocol 0 = 01 FE (HCS08) UnExtended Device Multiplexor for URC-6820/8820/10820/39930/1067
20 04 00 00 02 00 8C BE 4B 58 B6 60 E7 C3 B6 61 E7 C4 81
End
The following device upgrade maps BOUQUET+=24 B8 for SAT/1238 and BOUQUET-=25 FD for SAT/1563
Upgrade Code 0 = 1C 4F (TV/1133) Uses Device Multiplexor Protocol 01FE. BOUQUET+=SAT/1238 BOUQUET-=SAT/1563
FE 00 21 24 B8 25 FD
End

Then, to make it work, you'd need to create a "helper" upgrade that has all the right codes assigned to buttons and then the Multiplexor keymoves would refer to those buttons.
