Clads92 Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Hello everyone, I'm setting up a new handheld device, and I was wondering: is there a way to download all the media for all my platforms at once? Right now, I have to go to each platform, click the three dots, select "Download All," and then choose my region for every single one. Is there a faster method to handle this for multiple platforms simultaneously? Thanks in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroBob Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Hi @Clads92 thanks for the question. Absolutely, the easiest way to do this is go to Tools > Download > Update Metadata and media for All Games. Then, simply follow the wizard to choose what media you want to download and it will grab them for all of your games. Give me a shout if you have any issues with it.

AstroBob Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Oh, my sincere apologies there, that was my bad as I forgot this was for Android (the instructions I gave was for Windows). Let me see if I can find this out and report back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroBob Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 Thanks for your patience! I can confirm that on Android, the “Download All Missing Media” feature currently needs to be done by platform. While we could explore adding an option to download media for all games at once, there are potential challenges that come with it, such as screen timeouts, storage limitations, and performance issues—especially on smaller or less powerful devices. Essentially, a single button could end up downloading tens of thousands of media files onto a handheld device, which could overwhelm its capabilities. Android is designed to download media dynamically as you navigate, which helps keep things efficient. The “Download All Missing Media” option is meant for users who want to frontload that process for a specific platform, which can save time and improve performance on lower-end devices. Hopefully that helps clarify the situation, give me a shout if you have any more questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clads92 Posted December 5 Author Share Posted December 5 Thank you for the reply I think it could be a great feature, (maybe with a warning like "Caution, downloading all media files will take some times and space storage, are you sure ?") In my case, i've to do manually with all platform, and set for each my priority region is Europe instead USA, maybe it can be saved in preference ?
