Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Back in 2019, LuigiBlood discovered unused functions for the "64GB Cable" in the various Mario Artist N64DD games. This enabled support for the "Pocket Printer" and the unreleased "Pocket Printer Color" peripherals.

They released javascripts to enable the functions in Project64.

According to the TCRF wiki, Mario Artist Paint Studio & Mario Artist Communication Kit support these unused features.

Describe the solution you'd like
Something as simple as"Connect Pocket Printer" "Connect Pocket Printer Color" menu options under "Change Disk" in the "Nintendo 64DD" menu, when an N64DD game is running. And perhaps be able to "print" the image and save it in the main ares directory as a standard .png file. Like in an "/Users/eisnerguy1/Library/Application Support/ares/PocketPrinterNintendo 64DD" folder on macOS as an example.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried to use Project64 in Windows via Parallels desktop but, it runs slower and performs worse than ares running natively on my M3 Max MacBook Pro.
