title, basically I want to do stuff like recording a Mario Kart DS run while showing the speed address maybe in a corner of the screen, is this possible? (with lua or something?) I’ve tried asking around but couldn’t find any solution, so I thought I’d just open a topic about it

Lua script makes this easily. http://tasvideos.org/LuaScripting/Display.html

I have tried with emu.frameadvance, gui.register, emu.registerbefore, and emu.registerafter but Desmume refuses to encode the displayed information.

I suggest a workaround: Let AVIsynth display the information. I used this combination for creating one of my Atlas videos. This file shows you an example how this combination will look like. The code was made for snes9x, and includes emu.frameadvance, so it will need some (little) adjustments to work in DeSmuME. Well, and it's definitely not cleaned up...

I tried following the lua tutorials, but when I try to open the .lua in DeSmuME it tells me “lua51.dll not found” is that something I have to download separately? edit: I downloaded stuff but now every single .lua I run says “filename.lua:1: unexpected symbol near '{' script stopped.” why? <_< it does that even with an empty file edit2: I googled the problem and found the reason “Aaaah.... I solved the problem... I used notepad and/or wordpad to edit my scriptfiles, these editors set extra control-characters in the files invisible to the eye, but visible to the lua-interpreter... using my plain old dos-edit solves the problem :-).... ” the problem is WordPad, NotePad works

with the help of partyboy1a and his files I created this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5jhQyrU9TY now I’m curious about displaying input, I’ve been told a few things about it but now I’m too tired to understand anything

This was done for FCEUX. You may take some stuff from it. http://pastebin.com/QnQSmcJh

Sadly, this code is useless for desmume right now, because Lua drawings aren't visible in any encode desmume produces.
