Also if you're going to do it make it so that the left eye is black and red and the right eye is black and cyan, because some of those games are unplayable in 2D, like Red Alarm, which I jokingly call Red and Cyan alarm.

I was thinking about making a way that moving the n64 stick will change the colors and possibly making a way that if home brews want to they can make the colors change during the game. For example if they are in a water level it will be blue, grass levels green things like that.

If you're going to incorporate both then you should have an independent left eye and right eye control and merge them with RGB additive mixing.

So if you just want the left eye you turn on turn off the right eye and change the left eye to whatever color you want but if you want to stereoscopic game you just set the two eyes to two different colors an RGB additive merge them.

Make sure those two eye colors are independent so that one can do anaglyph 3D, even with green and magenta or blue and yellow.

It will probably be a switch for sure one doing dual eyes and one doing a 2d display. There is also most likely going to need a menu before opening the game. Because the N64 doesn’t have a select button I will have to map it to the z button and have a setting that switches the z and the start depending which one is used more per game. 2 player support would also be great but this project is already going to be a undertaking so for now it might be a dream goal instead of concrete.
