Description

Title.

Probably just detecting if Floppy/Disk is multi in the bk2 file itself, and seeing that an XML isn't loaded.

I don't know how to properly explain it, but it would also help avoid issues when making a tasproj and running into an issue cause you decided to load a single Floppy/Disk and Hawk throws an error.

Research direction

Start by tracing how multi-system requirements are represented in the bk2 file and how XML loading is tracked when opening a tasproj in BizHawk. Reproduce the single-Floppy/Disk case that causes Hawk to error, then establish the warning condition and verify it prevents that failure.
