I want to edit the Star Coin models. I have already extracted the NSBMDs and now I need something to convert them to a Blender 4.0-compatible format. The MKDS editor is recommended for this, but all I find when searching it are forks and old forum posts. Could you link the download of the preferred version to use for NSBMD conversion?

I tried Apicula, but it doesn't work for me - when I open it (W10), its window flashes into existence for one frame and then it closes again.

You need to type the command like this:

apicula convert (NSBMD) --output (folder to extract the converted files)

Just drag the apicula.exe and the NSBMD files to CMD

So exactly this?:
apicula convert C:\Users\<me>\Desktop\<folder on my Desktop>\coin.nsbmd -- output C:\Users\<me>\Desktop\<folder on my Desktop>

True but there shouldn't be that space between -- and output

Alright thanks for your help, +1'ing your initial post!
EDIT: Despite all your help, Keeps, Ztar and KTRM, I still couldn't get Apicula to work. Still thanks though. I just used MKDSCM to convert the NSBMD and I'm remodeling the Star Coin now.

well if you end up going back to this my rec would be to either
- open folder with apicula in it -> File -> Open Windows PowerShell -> >apicula convert C:\Users\[you]\Desktop\[folder on your Desktop]\coin.nsbmd --output C:\Users\[you]\Desktop\[folder on your Desktop]
or
- open cmd -> >cd [path to apicula] -> >apicula convert C:\Users\[you]\Desktop\[folder on your Desktop]\coin.nsbmd --output C:\Users\[you]\Desktop\[folder on your Desktop]
or
- open cmd -> >[path to apicula]\apicula convert C:\Users\[you]\Desktop\[folder on your Desktop]\coin.nsbmd --output C:\Users\[you]\Desktop\[folder on your Desktop]
they all should do more or less the same thing as far as i recall so take your pick
