Well emm..... to be honest, I haven't operated on these old games, my first targeted game is <ソレヨリノ前奏詩>, so I don't have too much information to share with you....
But since the goal is to replace text and pictures, I think it shouldn't be to much difficult.
For text, the tool fuckpaz can unpack and repack resource from those old games (except for Steam version though :( ), you can translate these scripts just like new ones. It's easy.
For pictures, I guess the old games also use libpng to parse png files, just old versions. And for libpng, it provides a way to custom it's io function about how to read from png data, using png_set_read_fn. You must first learn how to use libpng.. After that, your goal is to find png_read_info in the compiled exe, hook it and get png_structp pointer, then just reset io function with your own.
Hook CreateFontA and CreateFontIndirectA, change lplf->lfCharSet to your location should work.
Another thing is that you may need to modify some params of EnumFontFamiliesExA's lpEnumFontFamExProc routine, to enable some special font
