Is it possible to setup the wiimote as a lightgun on Mame2003+ or FBA2012?

Some games I'm interested in:
Terminator 2 Arcade
Steel Gunner 2
Lethal Enforcers

I've checked the input settings on Retroarch and I'm not sure where to look.

There is no Wii remote as lightgun support in RetroArch on Wii.

Who says we don't have lightgun support on RA Wii? :P

Time ago @Wiimpathy implemented some lightgun support on MAME2003+ and a few other cores:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/retroarch-lightgun-support.548089/
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/9470

BTW, every RetroArch Wii core compiled from version v1.7.9 and newer have lightgun support on the Wii port (only on the cores which actually emulates lightgun).
The RA SS Hexaeco itself also has light gun support. I have been playing several games for a long time. Watch the video until the end to know the configuration of the emulator and the controller in particular. say that to map the game so that it works with the guns, the first time they play it they must stop using the gamecube controller for example (and use the wiimote alone, since if they use another controller to configure mame it will not let them shoot correctly on the entire screen) when they have mapped the entire screen by pointing at the entire screen and shooting all over it, we will enter the retroarch menu and save the configuration. The next time we play the game it will be well configured without having to repeat the operation. To say that I had to record the video using the camera in hand and I didn't play well xd. I had to upload the video to my channel because it was too big to upload it here

Perfect. I was confused about how to set this up. Thanks for showing the configuration too.
