Enabling Right D-Pad to Right Analog Stick
Just go to the Options in the Quick Menu and enable "Right analog to digital". If the option isn't in the menu, then update lr-beetle-vb.
For a closer replication of the Virtual Boy's unique dual d-pad input, you may also want to toggle the left d-pad to the left analog stick in Controls.
