Had not got Ten Pin Alley working on my Vita. I get Run error time: Can not find Direct X. What I have to down load Direct X 8? stuff.
Ten Pen alley been a pain for me. I have to keep the disk near just in case I need it when I run Turbo Turney software. It will ask for the Ten Pin Alley disc cause it could not find a file. Then it wants to install Ten Pin Alley. I thought I may got rid of this strange problem with my new computer, but nope.
