    Micro SD, Transflash?

    Can anyone tell me the difference between these?
    I've just bought an R4 DS Revolution thingy, but I can't seem to work out what SD card I need.

    Some places say Transflash, some just say Micro SD.. it's all confusing, thought we was still on MMC

    MMC is essentially dead, hardly anything uses it and SD is the domenant memory card format these days.

    MicroSD and Transflash are identical. Transflash was the name given to the for factor by SanDisk (i think it was them anyway) before the SecureDigital group adopted it as an actual standard. It was then re-named MicroSD to fit in with the existing naming scheme of SD, MiniSD, etc.
