I thought this may be of interest to other light gun fans. This is a video of me using real Sega arcade guns to play Ghost Squad on the Wii with Dolphin (connected to my laptop via a UHID):

The gun set-up is from a House of the Dead 4 arcade cab. It uses 10 IR led boards mounted around the screen plus a sensor in the gun. It's significantly more accurate and responsive than camera-based pointers like the Wii remote or an Aimtrak. It suffers none of the lag or drift.
I only started using Dolphin a few weeks ago but I have to say I'm very impressed with the emulator. I'm usually more of an arcade guy. The Wii has a lot of otherwise great light gun games that were ruined for me by only allowing the use of a Wii remote. Thanks to Dolphins fantastic Wiimote emulation, I can now play these games as nature intended -with real arcade recoil guns!
I wish there was a way to use Dolphin's Wii remote emulation on my real Wii console. Being able to play with decent arcade race wheels, flight sticks and guns would give it new life. The remote has a place but it ain't a ffb race wheel or a gun....
