You should play VirtualBoy on it. I have to suffer with anaglyph glasses.

Didn't follow that one recently. What's the current state of it? Did you play around with it?

It works, but has issues as it's still early dev. Like, the one game I wanted to play is Wario Land, but it has a bug preventing me from moving Wario. So your mileage may vary game to game.

Well to be fair you could have done that with any RetroArch setup on your TV already as the Libretro Virtual Boy core allows for different display modes including SBS.
Pretty sure I tested that on my 3D TV many years ago.

You can also use the anaglyph mode with any anaglyph glasses on any handheld.

While this is not my image, I tested it successfully on my Miyoo Mini.

There's a "Red Dragon" emulator for 3DS that plays VirtualBoy in 3D as well, worth checking out if you own a 3DS.

Yeah and it's super stable now.
I consider this by far the best option to play 3DS games these days. And there are a few gems that you should not miss out.
However I'd also give the library another shot if they run with SBS 3D on the MiSTer. But I'll patiently wait for that to become stable.

I just had one of my 3 MiSTer systems not want to connect to Wi-Fi, and no matter what I tried, it just refused to connect.

I couldn't just re-do the SD card either, as it's a 512GB one FILLED with loads of PS1 and Saturn games, as well as music CDs in CHD format. It would have taken nearly a whole day to copy it back and forth, so out of one desperate last-ditch attempt, I just copied the Linux folder from a good MiSTer SD card to the one not connecting to Wi-Fi, and that seems to have solved it. Somewhere down the pipes, I had a bad Linux file, and it wasn't the wpa_supplicant.conf for once. (I had already tried copying a good wpa_supplicant.conf to the bad card, but it didn't change anything.)

I just went down a rabbit hole about how it worked and it's truly impressive. I had heard of it back in the day without paying too much attention but now I know why it got so much attention. I'm not a fan of the DIY aspect as it seems tedious but I can see the appeal for tinkerers. But I also know why it might be necessary: Mother 3 on GBA. I couldn't beat the first boss using an emulator because of latency.

I have a MiSTer Pi hooked up to my OLED and a DE10 MiSTer hooked up to my CRT in a different room. I find them perfect especially for systems that I have no nostalgia for e.g. PS1, Amiga, arcade cores.

I wrote in an earlier comment that I can't deny that there is a certain DIY aspect to it but setting it up is not too much harder than setting up any Chinese retro emulation handheld.

Especially since you can buy pre-assembled MiSTer full stacks from AliExpress or Retro Remake. Or just get a MiSTer Multisystem 2. Also: It's worth it. :)
