Game boy advance
saratoga:
The ipods use the same processor core as the Gameboy Advance, so you don't really need to emulate the processor, only the sound and video hardware. This could probably be done, but it would be absolutely nightmarish to get the timing right, since you couldn't clock the processor to the proper speed and expect it to be able to emulate the other hardware. It could probably be done, but I think it'd probably cost whoever attempted it their sanity.
It'd also be Ipod/Sansa/H10 only, since they're the only ports right now with an ARM7 core, so it wouldn't make much sense for Rockbox either.

Really to tell you the truth, I got Linux up and running on my 5th Generation iPod Video. I happened to use the netless installer, but unfortunately, I couldn't get the Apple OS Running. I used iPL 2 and I clicked Apple OS, it came up with the Apple Logo, but didn't seem to start up. I guess I should of done the manual way, but it's too much hassle, you have to actually use a Linux Operating System to partition it and things like that, but so far I have been using Rockbox and I love the iBoy plugin which is an excellent emulator and I can boot into the Apple OS really easily.
Also: Just if your wondering: You can boot into the Apple OS by ressetting the iPod (on 5G it's "select" and "menu" at the same time) and as soon as it turns back on, you just toggle the HOLD switch on top of the iPod and then it will boot normally.
PS.: I know this has nothing to do with this thread so sorry, (I'm a NOOB :P), but I am just stating my experience.

iBoy is not a part of Rockbox. There is no iBoy plugin. If you're referring to Rockboy, please be clear about it.

Ello Again!
Also Rockboy is an excellent emulator and I am very happy with it. If you need help searching for ROMS search google...your friend. ;D
Sorry for the double post!

Be wary of your implications by that statement my friend; downloading ROMs that you do not yourself own wouldn't be legal now would it? I hope you meant that Google is a source for finding homebrew, legal ROMs.
