The 3DS has a virtual layer to run everything that the DS can, but does not access features new to the 3DS. Wii did the same with the GameCube compatibility, that's why you cannot use the USB ports of the Wii when in Gamecube mode (not sure if this is a hardware switch or not. If so, it would need a hardware fix to actually crack).
