For a speed patch we would need to:

1. Finish the power patch.
2. Strip all title screen modifications from a copy of the translated power version.
3. Create a patch from this modified Power rom.
4. Apply the patch to a Telefang Speed rom.
5. Modify the speed version title screen.
6. Modify dialogue where required.
7. Make any necessary fixes.
8. Create a patch.
9. ????
10. Profit!

Not just this; all compressed graphics have different locations in speed. Fun!

Compressed graphics table and the text pointer supertable (a pointer table pointing to other pointer tables).

-When using lameboy emulator on a DS flashcard,does the trade/vs mode work?it would be awesome if yes
-Also,which tile is the one for "index full" etc?in this page http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Wikifang:Telefang_1_Translation_Patch/Graphics
-Is there a tile for in-battle denjuu infos? like http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc164/andwhyisit/v65bug.gif
I think techno denjuu isn't part of text-dump but part of the tile...?
-I know thingyv can dump and re insert text (before you say anything yes,i know how to get around the pointer thing).Are there any other software that can dump and reinsert text?
So.Those might be my last questions (finally,isn't it?XD) then i could serenely think on how putting efforts to re-translate this in italian.

Unrelated, but no; Lameboy doesn't support multiplayer.

It's uncompressed, so it's not there. It can be found in the ROM using Tile Molester or similar. Before you ask, no, I don't know the location; just scroll down until you find it.

Techno Denjuu is also uncompressed in the ROM.

Yes, my custom dumb dumper and inserter that I don't plan to release until I rewrite it a bit, since a lot of things still have to be done manually now.

No, I mean it's an uncompressed tileset instead of compressed. Uncompressed graphics can be edited directly in the ROM, while compressed ones have to be uncompressed, edited one-by-one, recompressed and repointed.

I don't know what you mean. You'd need to edit Natural Denjuu, Techno Denjuu, Demon Denjuu etc. all separately.

Maybe?

Obviously not! That would be stupid, Techno Denjuu is just once in the rom and loaded when needed.

DP stands for Denma points.
