Ok...so the deal is, OtakuTAS has figured out how to change the settings, via the input file.
Just for future reference incase anybody else TASes an Atari game, I had to:
A) In a non-TAStudio environment that allowed me to adjust the manual dipswitches in the BizHawk settings, activate the service mode in the BizHawk GUI
B) Open TAStudio with the setting still set
C) Set the settings in the game's virtual service menu (virtual dipswitches) with TAStudio still open
D) In TAStudio, create a second movie using New -> From SaveRAM. This will be a junk movie as we are still stuck in service mode since we can't shut the setting off as the BizHawk settings are greyed out with TAStudio open, but will save our settings to a new movie. Why not just start a new movie non-Save-RAM? Because we need the movie .tasproj to be set up with the necessarily files and designations to expect a SaveRAM file
E) In this new blank movie that uses contains our current save RAM, run it for a few frames or whatever and save it.
F) Exit TAStudio
G) Now able to change the settings again, deactivate the service mode dipswitch in BizHawk's settings.
H) Reboot core
I) Open TAStudio again and start another new movie from save RAM, which now will be the wrong save RAM because it's clear but that is okay we'll fix that
J) Run the movie again for a few frames and save it
K) Now we have a movie that is stuck in service mode but has a good save RAM, and a movie that is not stuck in service mode but has a bad save RAM
L) Open both .tasproj files in WinRAR and move the good save RAM bin file to the newest .tasproj file.
Voila. The file isn't a save state so it's not stuck in service mode and just contains the plain save data from when we were stuck in service mode. This was a pain!
If you could do a tutorial video on this that would be nice. I'm not very good at reading words when It comes to steps. I'm not too advanced in TASing. (Repost because the other one was messed up)

How about this. I just redo the TAS. this time with Power on and replace the BK2 that has problems. It only takes an hour for me to TAS this game. And I could have done better actually! In Ariel I didn't pick up too much speed on the skip like I usually do so. I'm already pretty salty about that. Tomorrow In the after noon I can do that.
