GSP module only allows the LCD stereoscopy to enabled when bit5=1 and bit6=0 here. When GSP module updates this register, GSP module will automatically disable the stereoscopy if those bits are not set for enabling stereoscopy.

The above framebuffer registers contains the physical address for each framebuffer, normally located in FCRAM in the application's GSP heap. When other processes use GSP as well, the framebuffers for the process is stored in VRAM instead.
These LCD framebuffers normally contain the last rendered frames from the GPU. The color format is BGR8. The framebuffers are drawn from left-to-right, instead of top-to-bottom.(Thus the beginning of the framebuffer is drawn starting at the left side of the screen)
Both of the 3D screen left/right framebuffers are displayed regardless of the 3D slider's state, however when the 3D slider is set to "off" the 3D effect is disabled. Normally when the 3D slider's state is set to "off" the left/right framebuffer addresses are set to the same physical address. When the 3D effect is disabled and the left/right framebuffers are set to separate addresses, the LCD seems to alternate between displaying the left/right framebuffer each frame.
