Converter for old games based on old 3ds max

Hello. Since now the old versions of 3ds max are not available, and the new ones do not support plugins for exporting to old games, I am very interested in whether it is really possible for developers to do something like a converter with support for export plugins from old versions based on the old version? Something like a fbh converter but based on the old 3ds max.

a) which version is an "old" version for you?

b) which programming language was used for the plugin?

c) whatever you want to "export" can still be exported (somehow), btw: whats a "fbh" converter?

a) 3ds Max 5 and 4. For example. There are plugins from the developers of old games from 2001 that only work on version 4 or 5.

b) C++

с)FBX Converter 2013.3.

There is a Gmax program, it was created on the basis of 3ds max but with limitations. I would like something like her, but so that you can connect plugins for export and import from 5 or 4 3ds max.

I'd consider also using bobos "old" but very useful export script.
