[Is there ANY method to utilize the star and home buttons on an 8bitdo controller?]

So many ways to use them... gotta love the 8bitdo controllers  Right now I have a SN30 Pro that I use in XInput mode, and will likely be getting the next round of controllers when they come out, the SN30 Pro+ G Classic Edition.  Looks really comfortable with all the same features of the SN30 Pros

I'm probably going to pass on those because I have four of the others, but I'm planning to pick up two of the M30 pads to play Street Fighter with.  They seem to be the best wireless Saturn-style pads out there and even though they're really meant to be Genesis pads, I'm guessing 8bitdo isn't going to make another one so similar.

I use mine in switch mode, windows recognizes it as a Switch Pro controller, as does Retroarch.

The reason I would like to not do that is that I use them in Switch mode on my Raspberry Pi and this lets me swap back and forth on the platforms without repairing each time.  I'll play around with one of them this way though, thanks.

I have four SN30 Pro controllers and I've been using them in Direct Input mode, which lets me use the Star button and the triggers.  I don't see other people doing this so I assume there is a reason not to, but I'm not sure what it is.  (I don't use the SN30 Pros for modern games, just for emulation, which may be the reason.)

The discount is in the email you received with your license.

Sorry, I'm an idiot.  I was so excited to try BigBox out I didn't read it properly.

I realize the OP purchased his license years ago, but is this discount still active by chance?  (I didn't see anything about it on either site today.)  I just purchased the base LaunchBox license to make sure it worked well on my PC before upgrading to the lifetime license and realized I'd probably want to get a lifetime subscription to EmuMovies too so I can use the HD videos.
