Hi,

About steps 1-4 -- it's simpler to just use VFIC to convert disk images to MAHALITO format, then write back on real machine. No emulator required.

About defect 1: MAHALITO can definitely write normal 1.25MB images. You don't even have to format the floppy disk first, so it's very fast.
About defect 2: MAHALITO can definitely dump UNprotected floppy disks. But most Falcom games are heavily protected, so you need to use a filer like Wizard.
