The Virtual Boy console.

The Virtual Boy is a supposedly handheld console released by Nintendo and created by Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi in 1995. It was the first games console to utilise 3D effects, however is notable for only displaying graphics in red and black, as well as requiring users to attach the console to their head, usually while rested on the included tripod. The product was pulled shortly after release due to the majority of users getting headaches from using it. Notably, it was rushed to market and was never meant to be released in its current form.

Comparison

Mednafen
Lets you change the Virtual Boy's color output to any hex color. For example, changing it to white shows all the games in greyscale instead of red, which really helps. 3D is enabled by default, but you can turn it off.
RetroArch
Uses Medafen as it's Virtual Boy core. Supports SBS 3D by using glsl shaders, check this reddit post for instructions.
VBjin
Has a fork that supports the Oculus Rift.
r3Ddragon
Supports 3D on the New 3DS. Based on Reality Boy / Red Dragon.
