I was referring to the .xab files in the zip of your post as of
Tue Mar 10, 2020 1:08 am (which need to be renamed to .x for successful blender2.49b import).
Ooops....my fault
However, I tested other files and yet again it looks like it only works on some of the files...others like this boss don't:

It's the difference in file format (binary/ASCII) as I wrote before.

Would this be helpful to convert the files then?

Imma try this one with the different filetypes aswell:

Maybe this noesis plugin works:

no, no and no.
finale00's DirectX_xbin plugin requires a "bin " in the .x file which is "bzip" in
m70_tub_no.xab(.x)
What you need is
MeshConvert.exe (parameters *.x /xt) from
Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010) to convert a compressed binary .x file to ASCII .x:

Thanks for the help!
However when I use meshcnvert via CMD i get this:
I tried to rename the file, but I'm pretty sure it's me....
so it would be awesome if you could push me once again in the right direction.

binary .x files are converted to ASCII .x files. The original file is destroyed/modified. File size is increased, that's the only hint. (Most people don't understand the process and try to convert the already converted file again.
)
