Uhh...
You probably don't know what a midi is.
A midi isn't a file which stores sounds like a .mp3 or .waw. In a midi file, the music is stored as notes. That means one must sequence the original music themselves to create a .midi, which is pretty hard. You won't find any, because nobody cares enough about Telefang to create some.
That's also why all the free "mp3 to midi" converters have crappy results - they can't convert the music to sheet notation well.

You know, if someone figures out the way the music is encoded (or somethinggg, bleh) in Telefang, it can be "converted" to midi. There's a tool (called Sappy) that lets you see all the patches (instruments) and save each patch, for compatible ROMs (I know Pokemon and Kirby both work). And they're all "programmed" like a MIDI, which is the same for most ROMs, except the compression or something is different. Meh.

EDIT: Dino Device 2 works in Sappy too! Which means you can export the songs as MIDIs!
