Joystick configuration on Atari Fight Stick

[thorndike]

I have a just installed and configured my first arcade using the Atari Fight Stick and Retropie installed on a linux box. I have some questions about the configuration of the joystick.

First, when configuring the joystick through emulationstation which set of configuration options should I use to configure the joystick? The first set of directional inputs, or those farther down in the configuration menu?

I am currently using the first set of directional inputs but the joystick is very sensitive. If using the other directional inputs don't make a difference is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the joystick?

Thanks for the assistance!

You can use both to navigate EmulationStation, but most games expect something similar to a D-Pad (the first), so I'd use that.

You can try to increase the deadzone for the joystick using evdev-joystick , a command line utility.
