Reload (Aim offscreen) for Wiimote emulation

I wonder how I can emulate shooting offscreen so I can reload for shooting games, namely ghostsquad. This is a chihiro game, as you know chihiro is not emulated so I want to play it on Wii. I use a 360 PAD (for now) for emulating the Wiimote.

Depends on how the game functions. If the game is simply waiting for the wiimote to stop detecting the sensor bar, then this will be easy - just assign a button to "Hide". Press the button and the game will see that the wiimote isn't detecting the sensor bar anymore, and should reload. Give it a try and see if it works! If it doesn't then the game may be doing something more complicated...

It didn't work... thinking about it would be too prone to fail, everytime the wiimote is obstructed a reload would be performed.
I played it on 16:9 inside my 4:3 monitor, that means that I hade some letterboxes, if aimed and shot there it would reload, but not on the other borders. I'm not sure how that would translate into the TV.
By the way, the game looks stretched horizontally, it's supposed to be played at 4:3, is there any Aspect Ratio toggle key like with PCSX2? or maybe a gameini setting? edit: yes-> AspectRatio = 2

It is very unlikely that there is a Wii game designed for 4:3. You probably have conflicting aspect ratio settings in your wii and graphics options. The aspect ratio graphics settings are in the Graphics>General tab, under fullscreen resolution. The Wii aspect ratio settings are in Config>Wii tab. Make sure that the Wii aspect ratio settings are on 4:3 (since you have a 4:3 display) and the graphics aspect ratio settings are on Auto.

No, my display is actually 16:9 (TV) I just do all my testings on PC monitor which is 4:3, so to emulate 16:9 I simply change the screen resolution to 720p embedded. Anyways, as I said that is something I solved (AspectRatio = 2 for the gameinis). There are a dozen or two that are 4:3, among of which I have ghostsquad and house of the dead 2 & 3.

You shouldn't be setting it that way, but whaaaatever works for you I guess.
