Fossil Fighters: Champions is a role-playing game developed for the Nintendo DS that emphasizes strategic battles using fossil creatures. This version modifies the FP recharge system, lowering the maximum recharge from 230 to 180 while maintaining a cap of 900. This aims to enhance competitive gameplay by promoting tactical movement selection. Online multiplayer can now be accessed via fan servers.
As anyone who has ever played an online match will tell you, the default FP recharge at max level (230) is far too much, taking away a great deal of tactics in terms of having to prioritize one move over another. This hack reduces that FP recharge to the same as Fossil Fighters' final amount, namely 180, while keeping the maximum 900 in order that all moves might be usable. Additionally, it makes the FP recharge and maximum the same for levels 10 through 20, so you can play multiplayer without having to do a bunch of tedious side-quests.
Do note that online multiplayer for this game is now done exclusively through fan servers (Wiimfi). For information on how to connect, you can read https://docs.google.com/document/d/12nBHrmNMbRC6MXts5dRpSus8OTjOxV1eLw54LS2ksO0/edit for consoles (you'll also need a flashcart or homebrew if you want to use the hack with this), or https://melonds.kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?id=285 for the emulator MelonDS (which can be downloaded at that same site).

As mentioned before, jianmingyong created the decompressor for this game, and cannot be thanked enough. The files for this game and its predecessor were thought impenetrable for years, with their intimidating lack of file extensions, but jianmingyong was able to decipher the many layers of archiving and compression to make all this possible. So truly, hats off to them.
