For a file like that, "does it work?" isn't a simple, yes-or-no question. You might feel some of the effects, but not others. An illusion and/or delusion of physical change may be easier to produce than an all-out visual hallucination. Also, what effects you do experience may be transitory.
Whatever effects you experience come from you and your mind, not from the file. That file asks a lot of your mind. It asks your mind to create and maintain a complex, thoroughgoing distortion in the way you perceive your body. Considering that you have a lifetime's worth of experience at perceiving your body as it is, that can be a tall order.
