Both 3DS and DSi have ARM processors within, so they can indeed execute the same instructions natively; then again, software emulation would have been impossible on such low-power devices. In vast majority of cases backwards compatibility is retained through chips present in the system, which can serve minor purpose when a native game is run, but take most of the pressure with legacy games is run; Zilog Z80 and the Motorola M68k family could be named as the longest-lived chips ever, having been put into various hardware designs for over 30 (!) years in a row.
The DEsMuMe is not compatible with 3DS games
(including Lego the Lord Of the Rings and Scribblenauts Unlimited)
I'm sorry but if you wanna record videos you are going to need a Capture Board for 3DS.

Hi Captain Obvious! (had to)
A Capture Board is what we aren't looking for that's something for SDA. (Oh and to let you know, they already know about this)
Here at TASVideos we use emulators to do what the human cannot... Go through each frame of the game for a period of time to perfect and get completed in the fastest amount of time, then learning a glitch then using that to beat it faster and faster and than it becomes like Super Mario Bros. by Happy Lee where the game is done to perfection.
3ds is something that won't be in the works for maybe another 6 months maybe more or maybe less and it can probably be like the psp emulators, 3 dev teams later we finally get one that is the most accurate and can run a wide range of psp games (ppsspp).
Desmume team is most likely working hard for 3ds emulation probably even other teams.
And to clarify, here at TASVideos we do not use consoles unless it's for verification.
"Here at TASVideos, we strive to push games to their limits. The emulators we use allow for undoing mistakes, slow-motion gameplay, and even in some cases utilizing robots to do our bidding."

While his post was a little obvious, it was his first post. Cut him a little slack and allow him to introduce himself to the board.
I know next to jack about the inner-workings of emulators, but I'd conjecture the question here is along the lines of whether the 3DS uses the same assembly language and overall architecture as the DSi, no?
I mean, ultimately the question is meaningless because DeSmuME does not support 3DS games, period. That is the only "objective" answer. "Okay," you respond, "But how similar is it to the established DS line of systems' coding?" The answer is tautological: it is exactly as similar as it is. Whether DeSmuME can be adapted to work with 3DS games is entirely a judgment call on the part of its developers.
It reminds me of this Shakespeare quote:
LEPIDUSWhat manner o' thing is your crocodile?MARK ANTONYIt is shaped, sir, like itself; and it is as broad
as it hath breadth: it is just so high as it is,
and moves with its own organs: it lives by that
which nourisheth it; and the elements once out of
it, it transmigrates.LEPIDUSWhat colour is it of?MARK ANTONYOf it own colour too.LEPIDUS'Tis a strange serpent.

I don't think it can run 3DS games, PLUS, i got a 3DS so i don't need a Emulator
:D
Say. Never trust anyone in the internet, they are good outside but bad inside, they get your information just to make bad things to you, you can chat with then if you want BUT never give Personal Info, i say! But trust admins and mods, they know what to do.

That's not the point of TASvideos. TASvideos requires emulators to Tool-assist the games. To go through the game flawlessly in a short amount of time.

I own a 3ds too, but I want the emulator to try things I cannot do on my 3ds

The developers of DeSmuME have said that the 3DS hardware is so different from DS that they will not try to make DeSmuME support 3DS games, and instead someone would have to make a whole new emulator.
