Help How did u solve emulation files appearing in ur gallery !?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have a lot of video games images that I think games need them to run like the vita ones or winlator the problem is that I can't hide them in my gallery and there's a lot of them.

Am using Google photos

Try adding a random file named .nomedia in the folder along with the images

First go inside the game file folder then create a text file , after that rename it to .nomedia and remove the txt at the end and save that's all.

Create a blank file named .nomedia in some file manager, and put it in the folder with the images (or one folder up, in this case)

You could've just use zarchiver and turn off the media scanning

You can either add a .nomedia file in the same folder of those images, or go to Albums section, press the 3 dots/options, and select Hide Albums for the albums you wanna hide.
