I use the gateway installer on my dstwo. I had to put it in the ''_dstwoplug'' folder so it shows up on the main menu to run correctly. I haven't touch the blue card since.

You can put it pretty much anywhere. I just threw it into the root because I'm lazy. Runs like any other ROM, just I have to back out to the root if I'm in the game folder.

He means like this, you can run it on the dstwo main menu as a plugin
I made my own plugin also

I extracted the GW_INSTALLER icon from the nds file using a rom tool
changed the resolution to 40x42
then converted it into a 16bit BMP file

I created a GW_INSTALLER.INI file
Code:
[plug setting]
icon=fat1:/_dstwoplug/GW_INSTALLER.bmp
name=GATEWAY

then put all 3 files (GW_INSTALLER.NDS , GW_INSTALLER.INI , GW_INSTALLER.BMP) into the _dstwoplug folder

Thats too complicated for me think you could send me the files m8 save me doing it?

Can I still have ds games on my dstwo and use it for gateway at the same time?

Will the dstwo work in gateway mode?

Once you start gateway mode the card wont work
Same with emunand

You need to restart the 3ds and boot it from your real nand
Then after you are done with it, run the installer

That is the sweet thing of having a DSTwo Supercard, you can use your DSTwo for DS Roms and then when you want to convert back to 3DS Roms you just start your DSTwo up and run Gateway from the main menu and your back to 3DS Rom playing within seconds or just a quick switch of your DSTwo card and your back to DS Rom playing, whichever takes your fancy!. Its quite nifty really.

I am thinking about getting a Gateway and a DSTwo SC... Are they worth getting? I want to be able to backup my retail DS and 3DS games and play them. How would I go about setting all this up so I only need the DSTwo card and Gateway Card, and not need the Blue Gateway Card? Sorry, new to all this cool stuff :P
