I have a Wii coming soon and was going to mod it, but its been brought to my attention it may very well have epoxy on it making it a lot more difficult. I am now content with softmodding, and was reading the guide on this site here.

Where it says "Things you'll need" it says "Non-secure SD Card." The SD card I purchased on NewEgg says

Quote:
Kingston 2GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card W/ E-Tail clamshell Model SD/2GBET - Retail

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134806

Will this work? Or does the Secure in Secure Digital mean it won't for the purposes of soft modding my Wii? I'd like to know ASAP because I was going to go out tomorrow and buy Zelda and I also need an SD card reader to be able to put the files on it from my PC. I'd like to know if I need to buy a different SD card as well.

I am only guessing because the Wii SD cards that are sold are non-secure and compatible.

I personally used a Kodak SD card(they are made by lexar), they are pretty cheap to buy, and I use them in my garmin gps.
So had them on hand.

EDITThere you have it as penguin98 says below, he has tried it and it worked.

I actually use that exact model SD card with my wii, so yes it should work.
