Hi @BabaJeanmel and thanks for sharing!
This is very interesting. I actually made tools to replace kanji with hiragana for easier reading, but had issues due to the limited storage on floppy discs.
Your project fixes this issue! I can now even do furigana - kanji with their reading, thanks to the extra space.
Here's attached a patch for your Dragon Knight HDI release on archive.org.

By the way, did you use the easy version or normal? Cause the normal version is way too hard
I've just tried the intro and it seems to work.
Though the text might get cropped as there isn't enough space on screen. I'll see if I can fix that.
Though, I made this patch with just my hacky tools. If you actually have access to tool to edit .MES files, you could do a much better job than me.
It's quite simple, I'm using the pykakasi python api to do these conversions. You can incorporate that in your pipeline.
Thanks!
