I don't think you need to downgrade. :D
also, get nspire student software from ti website.

You won't need to downgrade your Nspire, as there's good Lua games out there, unless you want Ndless games. But even in this case, Ndless 3.1 is coming soon so you won't need to downgrade at all and it's supposed to be compatible with Ndless 2.0 games.

Also you need Nspire Student Software to upload programs on it.

you just have to open a program by dubble-clicking on it (or another way id don't know, just open it with the TI-Nspire CAS student software), then you'll see the program in the emulator. Then do File > Save on calc and browse for the place you want to save it to on your calc (it has to be connected though).

So in fact, just like saving it to your pc, but on your calc... i think here on omnimga you have the best collection of nspire (cx) games, as the one on ticalc isn't that large

btw, nice that you bought one :)

The issue is that some new members don't notice we even have a download section althogether, so it's good to point out Omni anyway. I would probably have went with a more direct link actually: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads

By the way welcome here emccone :)

http://www.ticalc.org/pub/nspire/lua/games/ contains most Lua games.
Just download one, and send it to your calculator.

You can send it to your calculator with the software included (like Nick showed you).
But if you don't have software you either need to download the trail version, or use TiLP.
