No, but I read the documentation if that is of any help.

Bastards!

When the iPod reboots into debug mode, the emulator doesn't start!
Your iPod may already have a hack installed that is preempting the emulator from starting. Gullibility 0.2 and ThisAin'tReal 1.0 are most notorious for hijacking the emulator's RAM. Try upgrading to the latest versions or using a real Game Boy to remedy the problem. Also try running the update on a day that isn't April 1st (or thereabouts).
OK, they got me...

OK, so it looked cool to me too till someone posted that info from the Troubleshooting FAQ. My question is, WTF does it do to the iPod then? Hopefully nothing, but I don't feel like finding out. I'm glad I never got to the point of trying it.

Good joke though. Very elaborate.

Nice, 2500 songs will remain untouched on the iPod.

It did nothing to the iPod. It just displayed a progress bar and a confirmation icon. Very well done, right down to the icon, and the fact that it has a built in detector for iPods. (It won't work unless you have connected an iPod).

The manual is very elaborate!

This one really got me, and I had been wondering when I'd be hit by an april fool's joke today..

Dayum! Ok that's good. I tried it on my ipod and was thinking well why the F does this NOT work!?

Saw the April 1st thing and thought hrm. DAMN!

Too bad it isn't real.
Aloha

It would be insanely hard controlling the games though. Scrollwheel as direction pad?
