@RunningSnakes Thank you sincerely for your great contributions!
I'm sorry if I haven't added them to the list yet, but I'm in a very busy time and I'm carrying out more things than I can handle.
Before I can add them, they should all be confirmed because, as we have seen in a few cases, the tests didn't produce the same results for everyone.
Unfortunately testing all these games takes a good amount of time, that is a little scarce these days, but they will all be added ASAP.
You, @MrSW and anyone else wanting to add their test results, are welcome to keep posting them!
Just remember, to make things smooth, always respect this format when posting your tests:
Cheers

so that the list can be edited and usable in scripts.

No worries @Tetsuo Shima, glad to help out. Yes, testing is very time consuming & the list needs to be as accurate as possible. I run all tests using USB exclusively, no SD card inserted for anything. This is maybe a difference in results from others using SD, or SD/USB. Posting results for SD/USB would likely be a mess and very hard to maintain. Most of what i have posted was done months ago & put into "Working Folders" and have just went back & retested to post for this thread. Core A,B,D,F,G still need much testing on my side, Core C,H are done & Core E is close to being done for me. At any rate, thanks for taking this much needed project on, no need to be in a hurry to complete this. Good Day
any cores working for:
Demon front
Light bringer
mars matrix
magic crystals

@Danimalzpwn3 and maybe others, it's not too hard to quickly know if a specific game is at least supported.
Download Scripts_Datas.zip.
Inside the DATAS folders, you'll find 3 xlsx files. First, open RA GC_Wii FBA Compatibility to check if it's supported by FB Alpha.
If not found, open lr-mame2003 (MAME 0.78) and looks for the game. If it's there, note the filename(lightbr for example).
Now if on Windows and you know how to use the command line. In the DATAS folder, type:
It should list in which file it appears if it's there.
For linux, it could be grep -irl lightbr . instead.
If you don't want to use the command line, just open and search in the file driverwii.c that comes with the Mame2003+ cores.

I'm almost done verifying all your games, and I can confirm your test results.
Some notes: vector games like asteroids are running smooter if you go to options and set vector resolution to 640x480
Spiderman is working fullspeed for me on core D2. Try using SD card, I read that some games run better with it.
Enduro Racer has a working clone, endurobl.zip
@RunningSnakes Checking back spidey.zip, well it's not truly full speed but near it and with no frame skipping. Audio sometimes stutters, though.
Things that I changed in my configuration:
Mk2 and 3 speedhacks enabled
Audio settings ->resampler normal
endurobl.zip is a false positive, it only loads the title screen but you can't start a game (freeze?)
Gotta try the other clone: endurob2.zip

spidey has also more slowdowns when played with a usb drive. This is nonsense but no idea why?! Maybe other games are affected. You may all know about some large games crashing in WiiFlow only. That's why testing isn't so easy.
And I don't want to add more confusion but I've also updated the cores with lightgun support. It would be cool to test the few lightgun games. It's rather buggy though. Did you ever managed to use the wiimote pointer?
Yes, I had the same problem with Golden Axe 2: Revenge of Death Adder. Better performance on SD card, It could be playable, if not for those graphical glitches.
That's why I think it's worth to have all mame roms on SD.
Wow thanks for the updated lightgun cores! I had no success with Point Blank some time ago and I gave up.
I will try again in the next days and will report back.
Ahem, in fact, I haven't updated the cores in that thread. If it wasn't working for you before I'm afraid they're still the same. But, even buggy, that should work with the mentionned settings in a few games (or I've uploaded wrong cores! 
).
What I meant for those who don't know is that lightgun is possible. That's the only thing added, they should have same compat.

I downloaded and am using the latest 1.7.8 Lightgun cores & have not seen any compatibility issues. Yes most of the lightgun games i have retested are working with a few exceptions, most notably Duck Hunt (starts up but you can't add credits to start a game). Diving back into testing i realize i had much more testing accomplished than previously thought. Half way through the remaining 180 Core A games, very few are not working 2 or 3 and i remember testing these games before. Some have issues & maybe are working in the (alt 2) cores. I didn't have any of these roms in separate folders but would say this is roughly what remaining roms are likely to work and need testing. If @Tetsuo Shima list or my list(s) does not have a game listed as confirmed or needing testing, it most likely does not work. I'll complete Core A in the next few days and post results, in the mean time anyone reading this feel free to test these roms listed below and post results, it would help tremendously. Good Day
List moved to last post.

After more testing with Lightgun Core A 1.7.8, I've decided to revert back to previous 1.7.6 cores. The Lightgun cores do work but they also break alot of other games controls that previously worked and verified. Avoiding any confusion I'll finish all testing with 1.7.6 cores as the only gun game that I've found worthy is Operation Thunderbolt, almost all others work with crosshair. After completing, maybe go through Lightgun cores and test. Just wanted to heads up that I am reverting back to 1.7.6 cores to post results
Friends managed to run some games in another emulator perfectly, fba games like eswat, battle garega, esp rade, hagon, guardians, I'm testing others
