docs: answer gallery media and exFAT names
The start pages are at their word ceilings: the two answers move to the technical FAQ, and the testing guide names test_install_filesystems.

It reaches only as far as the profiles do. Files no profile states a value for are platform-only, and nothing can be said about their content. The footer of the platform report gives that ratio as `Ground truth: N/M files have emulator validation`.
|

|

## Why do BIOS pictures and sounds show in my phone's gallery?
|
||||
|
||||
Android's media scanner indexes every image, sound and video in shared
|
||||
storage, and the RetroArch BIOS folder holds 3,842 of them (FBNeo samples,
|
||||
overlays, PPSSPP assets, sdlpal's videos). An empty file named `.nomedia` in
|
||||
the BIOS folder hides it and every folder below it. The installer writes one
|
||||
on Android and the RetroArch pack carries one: see [Android](installer.md#android).
|
||||
Copied by hand without either, create the empty file yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why were files left out on my exFAT card?
|
||||
|
||||
FAT, exFAT and Windows refuse `< > : " | ? *` in a name, and RetroDECK's list
|
||||
names three files with a colon, like `zxs:48.rom`. The installer leaves those
|
||||
out on such a card and names them. An ext4 card holds them. See
|
||||
[Upper and lower case](installer.md#upper-and-lower-case).
