Description
When you open a .bk2 movie, BizHawk compares the ROM hash with the one stored in the Header.txt of the .bk2 file. If they don't match, a hud warning message appears for a moment in the lower left: "Warning: Movie hash does not match the ROM". The issue is that, unless you go through the Play Movie dialog, this message is very easy to miss due to its short duration and the presence of other messages at the same time. My request is to have a warning pop-up window for this specific event, so that it can't possibly be missed by the user.

Research direction
Start by tracing how .bk2 movies are opened and where the Header.txt ROM hash is compared, then find the existing lower-left HUD warning path. Done means a ROM-hash mismatch produces a clearly visible warning pop-up instead of relying only on the brief HUD message.
