This section deals with any variations other than 8.exd5 and 8.Bxd5 after

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5 5.Nxf7 Bxf2+ 6.Kf1 Qe7 7.Nxh8 d5

The current thought is that black should have an advantage in all lines.  For the sake of completeness, I have made this minor section.

A: 8.d3?! dxc4 (8...Bg4 9.Qd2 Bh4 may be even stronger) 9.Kxf2 Bg4 10.Qd2 0-0-0 11.Nc3 cxd3 12.cxd3 Rxh8 and black is slightly better.

B: 8.Be2?! Bb6 9.d4 (9.d3 Qc5 10.Qe1 Bg4 11.Nc3 0-0-0 and black has the advantage; 9.Bh5+ Kf8 10.Ke1 Nxe4 11.Qf3+ Kg8 12.d3 Nf6 13.Ng6 Qc5 14.Nc3 Nd4 15.Qd1 hxg6 16.Bxg6 Bg4 and black has the advantage) 9...Nxd4 10.Bh5+ Kf8 11.Bg5 Qc5 12.Nc3 Nxh5 13.Qxh5 Be6 14.Qxh7 Nf3 15.Bh4 dxe4 16.gxf3 Bh3+ 17.Ke1 Qe3+ 18.Ne2 exf3 19.Be7+ Ke8 20.Qg6+ Kd7 21.Rd1+ Bd4 and black wins. This is mostly untested though, few games have been played with this variation.
